The capital is celebrating the 79th anniversary of the parade on Red Square, which took place on November 7, 1941. Sergei Sobyanin took part in the solemn ceremony of laying wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the Alexander Garden. Representatives of the Moscow volunteer movement also took part in the event. Volunteers laid a wreath on behalf of the capital's veterans.
“Indeed, this is a grandiose historical event. To understand its epochal significance and significance, one must imagine the conditions under which the parade took place. Before this, for whole months there had been a series of bloody battles, which were not always successful, there were millions of losses, and, in fact, both the country and the city were teetering on the brink - on the brink of a huge tragedy. And I don't think morale was at its highest level at that time. And this historical parade, of course, gave such a powerful moral charge to the whole country, to all the troops. He gave a signal to the world community that the country is alive, that it will fight to the last,” noted the Moscow Mayor.
In addition, Sergei Sobyanin toured the museum of installations on Red and Manezhnaya Squares, and also spoke via video link with participants in the reconstruction of the Battle of Moscow, which is taking place in Patriot Park.
“We have created an open-air museum here on Red Square, and all Muscovites can come and see historical footage and installations. It seems to me that this is an interesting tradition that allows you to see Moscow of that time, to feel the spirit of that time,” said Sergei Sobyanin.
Vyacheslav Sivko, guard colonel of the reserve of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Hero of the Russian Federation, expressed gratitude to the city for the reconstruction of the battle of Moscow and proposed making it traditional. According to him, such initiatives are important for the younger generation.
“I am very grateful to the Ministry of Defense, which responded and created a joint project with us - the reconstruction of the battle of Moscow. This is the first such reconstruction. I agree with Vyacheslav Vladimirovich: of course, it needs to be made a tradition, made larger, more interesting,” noted the Moscow Mayor, adding that next year the 80th anniversary of the historical parade will be celebrated.

Previously, the main online broadcast in Moscow was conducted from a camera at the intersection of Tverskaya Street and Gazetny Lane, facing Manezhnaya and Red Square, and the video clearly showed one of the main attractions of Manezhnaya Square - the State Historical Museum.
Now, via the same link, a video from a camera in the area of Bolotnaya Square, directed towards the Bolshoy Kamenny Bridge, is available. This is already quite far from Red Square, but we hope for the return of the previous broadcast.

What is on Red Square today?
St. Basil's Cathedral
The most recognizable cathedral in Russia, famous for its colorful onion domes. St. Basil's Cathedral was commissioned in the mid-1550s by Ivan the Terrible, who subsequently blinded its architect so that such an amazing spectacle could never be recreated. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Basil, the holy fool who lived in the 1500s. It is also known as the Intercession Cathedral.
Moscow Kremlin
The Kremlin is a unique monument of Russian culture and a symbol of Russian statehood from medieval Rus' to the present day. The ceremonial residence of the Russian President is located there. Visitors to the Kremlin can see many cathedrals and churches, visit the 20 towers that protect the Kremlin walls, and take a private tour of its palaces.
State Historical Museum
The largest national historical museum in Russia with exhibits from the Stone Age to the 19th century. There is no better place to get a comprehensive understanding of Russia's political, religious and cultural history and discover how it evolved from a nation of disparate tribes into the superpower it is today. The museum is located in an imposing dark red building on the northwest side of Red Square.
Mausoleum of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Necropolis
On the western side of Red Square, next to the Kremlin wall, there is the mausoleum of V.I. Lenin. Inside the solemn red-gray-black structure is a transparent sarcophagus in which lies the embalmed body of Lenin. Tourists need to plan their visit carefully, as the Mausoleum is only open 4 days a week from 10:00 to 13:00. It stands in the center of the Necropolis, a multi-tiered memorial cemetery where many important Soviet figures, revolutionary soldiers and foreign communists are buried.
This is interesting: The body of Joseph Stalin also lay in the mausoleum from 1953 to 1961, until it was removed as part of the de-Stalinization process.
GUM department store
The most famous and beautiful department store in Moscow, which arose from the shopping arcades established on Red Square in previous centuries. The architect responsible for the department store, Alexander Pomerantsev, won the competition with his fabulous design. It's worth looking into even if you don't intend to buy anything. Just admire the luxurious surroundings.
Execution Place
This large stone platform is the oldest surviving site on Red Square. From here the kings made speeches, issued decrees, announced executions and wars, and led ceremonies. In ancient times, nobles were brought here and subjected to “civil execution” - not a bloodthirsty ritual, but a humiliating ceremony in which noble people were stripped of their rank and title. However, this place has seen its fair share of bloodshed. The bodies of enemies of the state were displayed here, and on the platform that stood a little further, executions were carried out.
Monument to Minin and Pozharsky
Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky defended Russia in the Battle of Moscow against Polish invaders in 1612. They are honored in this monument, which stands in a place of honor in front of St. Basil's Cathedral. He depicts Minin gathering Pozharsky and Nizhny Novgorod residents to defend their capital. National Unity Day, dedicated to the two men, is celebrated annually on November 4, and people come to lay flowers at the monument.
Kazan Cathedral
The cathedral was built by order of Prince Pozharsky in honor of the Battle of Moscow in 1612. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by the Soviets in 1936 as part of the large-scale clearing of Red Square. Fortunately, the architect Peter Baranovsky carefully measured and photographed the cathedral before its destruction, which allowed for reconstruction, which began in 1990. The cathedral today is designed in the Russian architectural style, true to its original design, with a multi-tiered pyramid of kokoshniks leading to a central gilded dome.
Resurrection Gate
These gates were built in the medieval period and were a very important part of the Red Square ensemble. Upon entering Moscow, the Russian Tsars passed through and prayed to the revered Iveron Icon, now located there in the gold and turquoise chapel adjacent to the gate.
This is interesting: At the Resurrection Gate there is the Zero Kilometer - a round tablet on the ground indicating the point from which all distances on Russian roads are measured. To make a wish, stand on one foot on the plaque, look at the Iveron Chapel and throw a coin over your left shoulder so that it lands within the border of the plaque.
