Victory Day Parades

Victory Day Parades (Russian: Парад Победы, tr. Parad Pobedy) are common military parades that are held on 9 May in some post-soviet nations, primarily Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and formerly Ukraine. They are usually held to honor the traditional Victory Day holiday. In 2015, the Ukrainian government had renamed the holiday as "Victory Day over Nazism in World War II" as part of decommunization laws. However, even after the change, a vast amount of the populace (mostly Russian-speaking) still honors Ukrainian-Soviet troops who fought in World War II with traditional Victory Day parades.
