The holiday commemorating the epic Soviet triumph over the Nazis became a representation of Russia's failure in Ukraine. A soulless parade in which there was nothing more than an eight-decade-old tank-relic: a sober reflection of the depletion of resources on the front imposed by thePutin's imperialist crusade.

The threat of sabotage and attacks like the one that a few days ago reached the Kremlin in the form of drones also caused the suspension of other events, which ended up further tarnishing the 78th anniversary of the feat.
