Victory Day
May. 9th, 2010 09:59 pmI don't remember the date when the second world war actualy stopped, but, as any russian, I know that the may 9, 1945 is the end of Great Patriotic War. That's how it is called in our country. This day is always a day off, and on the main square of every major city militray forces perform a parade. This year, there was a major change in the way of performing it - in whole country parades started in one time. From 10.00 at Moskow, to 17.00 at my city. Lenin square and surrounding roads were closed, people grouped at the borders to watch. But Lenin square in our city is placed very inconviniently, if you want to watch something that happens on it. It's surrounded by four huge buildings - Medical Univercity, White House, Far Eastern Bank and a huge historical building, which is hospital nowadays. Also, streets were extremely crowded, so I and my friend walked a very long distance through crowd, trying to find a good place to make photos. Crowd was ridiculously huge, so we gived up our tryes to take photoes of parade itself, and decided to photo some military veichles. I am not good ad photography, so don't blame me if something is wrong with my photoes. I took photoes of my city streets too. Well, enjoy.
