I always loved watching Soviet military parades through the Red Square as a little boy in the late 1980s (I was born in Moscow in 1983).
As a Russian, I am still overly proud of my country. They will sometime again have those amazing parades when Russia will rise from its post-Soviet breakup. its inevitable. All the natural resources and capabilities are only going to make it a stronger country in the future.

I cant believe you guys have never seen the Soviet military Red Square parades as a show of power and pride. Soviets were the ones who started the whole military parade culture (modern times) in 1945, as a show of power after the defeat of Nazis. Too bad its mostly used by the communist states.
Soviet parades were the original and the best. The leg-to-leg/hand-to-hand perfect troops line marches were first perfected by the Soviets.
