All of Russia celebrates the 78th anniversary of the Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany on Tuesday, a holiday full of pride and sorrow at the same time. Throughout the country, ceremonies are held with citizens paying tribute to veterans and their ancestors. In addition, the holiday is declared a day off at the state level, along with May 8, which precedes it.The central event of the holiday will surely be the Victory Parade held on Moscow's Red Square. This year's parade is expected to involve over 10,000 troops and 125 units of various types of weaponry and equipment.Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin called Victory Day a sacred holiday for Russia. The majority of the country's citizens seem to agree with this - most of them consider Victory Day the most important day of the year. Russians associate the holiday primarily with the military parade, the St. George ribbon and the Immortal Regiment march.Follow Sputnik's live to find out more
