“Terrible cannibals” sat behind Putin: how the holiday of “victory” is changing in Moscow

Over the past 3 years, the “Victory Day” parade in Moscow was radically different from those we had seen before. Every year there is less and less equipment, weapons and guests. In a word, the holiday of “victory” is rapidly degrading.

This is the opinion 24 Channel expressed by Russian human rights activist Mark Feigin. He noted that there were no veterans of World War II left, so behind Vladimir Putin they put members of the so-called “svo” who killed Ukrainians.

“This holiday has already been emasculated. There are no veterans for a long time. They are 100 years old. They all died, there are only a few left who can no longer attend the parade. Instead of them, veterans of the so-called “svo”. In the second row there were some people sitting terrible cannibals from Bucha. This is all being done deliberately,” said the Russian human rights activist.

How the parade is degrading

At the May 9 parade in Moscow, Vladimir Putin never said the word Ukraine. However, I remembered the current war, calling it a so-called “special military operation.”

The Kremlin is actively exploiting the theme of war. In particular, during Putin’s inaugural speech, the comments he gave, the theme of war was one of the central ones,” Feigin noted.

In fact, the current parade is nothing new in understanding the situation does not give. All these festive events are not at the same level as they were, for example, 3 years ago. In May 2022, at least the “immortal regiment” was still walking. therefore, significantly more equipment was brought to Moscow,” added the Russian human rights activist.
