Hello! There is no official information yet, but according to the practice of past years, it will be closed for fasting from May 4 or 5 to May 9. If you want to be more precise, look at the websites of the FSO and the Moscow Kremlin. There will definitely be information there.

Hello! You got it absolutely right. You can see all this beauty from the Ustinsky Bridge. At 10.00, of course, there are enough people there, but so that there is nowhere for an apple to fall - I won’t say... Come and take a look. Of course, there will be no more seats at the railing, but it won’t hurt to watch aviation. As for the walking boxes - it’s better to go down to the embankment and look there, it’s much more fun than from the bridge. ))) Good luck!))

It would be blasphemy to hold an air show after the deaths of passengers on the Murmansk flight to Sheremetyevo. Let them only hold a ground parade. And it is imperative to organize a television broadcast from Sevastopol on the central channels - there is the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the city from the Nazis.

There is no universal answer here. As practice shows, you can watch the planes and go down to the embankment. Some walking boxes return from the square quite quickly, but the main part is still delayed. As a rule, after passing, a ceremonial formation is held with thanks and speeches from the commanders, incentives are announced, etc. …. For this reason, they are slightly delayed. But you understand that all kinds of changes are possible. I think you’ll figure it out on your own))) Good luck)))) Happy Victory Day)))

Good day! Look, you have several options. 1. See the equipment on the way to Red Square. Then, in my opinion, the ideal option is Tverskaya Street, Tverskaya or Mayakovskaya metro station. Come out and take a look. But there is one minus. You need to be there at about 6.45, since the column leaves Mnevniki at 6.00. 2. See the equipment on the way from Krasnaya Square. Then you need to get to Arbat (Arbatskaya metro station) at about 10.45. As an option, Barrikadnaya metro station, 1905 street. You can also look there. 3. Foot boxes and aviation. This is for you to go to Ustinsky Bridge (Novokuznetskaya metro station and walk a little, look at the map so you don’t get lost) at 10.45. Somewhere like this. Choose what will be more convenient for you and your kids. There may be other options, of course. This is just a humble opinion))) Good luck))))

Ideally, you should call and ask the FSO. But it’s hard to say whether they will answer or not. Try calling, for example, the Kitai-Gorod police station. They should know for sure, since there are police at all the first cordons.

I haven’t watched the passage of equipment since 2021 - when it was evicted from the Frunze Airfield on Khodynka to Mnevniki. And after yesterday’s plane crash at Sheremetyevo, I think that the Aerial part of the Parade should be canceled this year. Due to the morning rehearsal and the Parade itself, the schedule at the Moscow air hub is changed, and after the disaster, some flights on May 5 and 6 to Sheremetyevo were canceled and only in the evening, after the fuselage of the burnt plane is removed from the runway, the schedule will return to normal. Therefore, on May 7th and 9th there is no need for military aircraft to fly over Moscow. Until the 9th day after the disaster (May 13 or 14), the air show must be abandoned. This is not only my opinion, but also that of the residents of Murmansk.

Good day! Look, if you are ready to move early in the morning, then, in my opinion, the ideal option is Tverskaya Street, between Pushkinskaya and Triumfalnaya Squares. These are Tverskaya, Pushkinskaya or Mayakovskaya metro stations. The side with odd house numbers is better. As practice shows, the equipment moves closer to this side. But you need to be there at about 6.45, since the column leaves Mnevnikov at 6.00. They may be delayed, of course, but it’s better with a guarantee. Good luck))))

The entire New Arbat is at your disposal. Choose a place to your taste. For me, straight sections are more interesting than turns. There, you can turn up the gas, and after the parade, the driver's ride is much more fun. Usually the technique goes a little closer to the odd side, but the sun can hit your eyes there.

And if not, then the opportunity to look at the equipment and take photos will be either before the parade or after. This is where the thesis about Tverskaya at 6.45 appears. Once the vehicle passes Pushkin Square, you will no longer be able to reach it. Accordingly, if you don’t have time before the parade, then only after))))) If there are still any misunderstandings, write))) By the way, you can take photos of the walking boxes, if interested...

Action "Immortal Regiment" in Moscow in 2019
May 9 is a holiday with tears in our eyes, and this year one of the touching events will take place again - “Immortal Regiment”. All those who lost their relatives in the war and who had relatives who worked on the home front are invited to take part in it. The gathering will begin at 13:00, and the procession itself will begin at 15:00. In 2021, more than 700 thousand Muscovites intend to take part in the procession.
The route of the “Immortal Regiment” action in Moscow will run from the Dynamo metro station to Red Square: along Leningradsky Prospekt, 1st Tverskaya-Yamskaya Street, Tverskaya Street, Manezhnaya Square and Red Square. Then the procession will split and proceed along the Moskvoretskaya embankment and the Bolshoy Moskvoretsky Bridge.
We advise you to wear comfortable shoes and clothing, bring hats, drinking water, as well as raincoats and umbrellas in case of bad weather.
Residents of other Russian cities can obtain information about the gathering place and time of the procession on the official website of the event.
Why was a different date chosen for the parade?
Due to the rapid spread of coronavirus infection across most regions of Russia, the parade, which traditionally takes place on May 9, has been postponed. The President made this decision due to the high risks of infection that arise from crowds of people and close contacts.
The pandemic situation has somewhat stabilized in the capital and many other regions. Therefore V.V. Putin decided to hold the parade, but at a later date. He officially announced this on May 26 at a meeting with the current Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu. Then he instructed to begin active preparations for the event, and on May 29 he signed a corresponding decree that finally approved the date.
<You can watch the live broadcast of the 2021 Victory Parade in Moscow HERE
Unified schedule of events
More than 300 different events were organized for guests and residents of Moscow from May 1 to May 10, 2021, including concerts and memory events, exhibitions and sports programs. Victory Day celebrations will take place at venues in the city center, in districts and in city parks. The holiday venues will start operating at 9:00.
Unified annual schedule of events:
- 9:00 — opening of the holiday venues begins
- 10:00 — Victory Parade on Red Square
- 13:00 — festive events in honor of the 74th anniversary of the Second World War at city venues
- 15:00 — start of the “Immortal Regiment” campaign
- 18:55 - minute of silence
- 19:00 - evening concerts
- 22:00 - festive fireworks
Festival "Moscow Spring"
Let us remind you that from May 1 to May 12, the “Moscow Spring” festival is being held in Moscow for the third time as part of a cycle of city street events. The Moscow Spring festival is also a competition. The star jury and the audience themselves will choose the best performers. We would like to remind you that in 2018 the group “Six AppeaL” (USA) received the Grand Prize.
On May 8 and 9, as part of the festival, a special program dedicated to Victory Day is planned, during which you will see theatrical and musical performances at venues and parks in Moscow.
Are there risks of contracting coronavirus?
Every day new cases of coronavirus infection are discovered in the country, but their numbers are gradually decreasing and do not exceed 9 thousand people. In the capital and some other regions the situation is considered stable. And yet the pandemic is not over and has not passed, so precautions remain.
Russian President Putin ordered authorized organizers to ensure compliance with the strictest safety requirements in order to minimize or completely eliminate the risk of infection for all participants. And Sergei Shoigu emphasized that in the armed forces the peak of incidence passed much earlier - in the second half of April. And only completely healthy military personnel are invited to participate in the victory parade: without any signs of disease and with immunity to COVID-19. Moreover, all participants are strictly prohibited from allowing contact with outsiders.
Work of museums and exhibitions
- On May 9, the Victory Museum on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow can be visited for free. The museum will be open from 10:00 to 20:30. In addition to museum exhibits, visitors will visit an exhibition dedicated to the most significant medal of the Great Patriotic War - the medal “For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945.”
- Impressive tank battles will take place at the T-34 Tank Museum on May 9. Three dozen radio-controlled scale models of Soviet and German tanks will recreate the events of 1943 on the legendary Kursk Bulge. Starts at 14:00. Participation in the event on the territory of the museum and memorial complex is free. No pre-registration required. Visiting the museum requires entrance tickets. All established benefits apply.
