- Опубліковано 12 тра 2015
- On May 9, Russia commemorated the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War with a military parade held in Moscow’s Red Square. In addition to approximately 16,000 troops, the newest military technology in Russia’s arsenal also participated, including the T-14 Armata battle tank.
VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky attended the weekend's celebrations in Moscow, speaking with attendees who came out to display their patriotism for the motherland.

That dude that looked like Kim Jong Un was spot fucking on. lmao
I had a fucking stroke reading you're comment
Makes us 2 mate
@@gooddd5643 i had a fucking stroke reading you are comment
It's better having a military parade once a year than actually being at war all the time all over the world. Just saying.
Xa Ven Yeah, they're only constantly at war with their neighbors, which is much better. Every time Putin has political trouble he invades something and the dopes put on their little patriotic hats and start chanting death to America.
So let's pretend Putin didn't attack Chechnya, and god knows what you're even talking about with "the stage for it was set."
aluisious The war in Chechnya began under Yeltsin and Putin was able to finish it.
Better being around the world then annexing and invading foriegn territory
Cheers! But as you are well aware, the world lives by a double standard...
Lol president of India was standing with Putin on that day
Bhai tera jobs ko mai hi lene wala hu kyuki teri aukaat nahi hai kuch kaam karne ki samjha?! Chutiya sala pata nahi kya samajta hai apne aap ko.
Dhruvinder Singh Aulakh That's because India wants to stock up on old russian nukes.
India is developing indigenous weapons lol check out the Brahmos missile
it has the largest volunteer army, it is different from a regular army, which involves enlists too. Anyways it still cuts off as 4th largest
i am unaware of the latest facts lol, India and china rub horns about this subject all the time lol
Also this granny has mad flow 5:02
manzilla48 you made me crack up so fucking much ahaha
manzilla48 Straight bars.
manzilla48 was thinking the exact same thing
Darth Zoddo Whenever it comes out, Its gon be str8 fire
Darth Zoddo they got head ice and bigg k on it
One person: this guy's propoganda!
another person: Russia Sucks!
Me: 5:01 , God Damn, grandma's roast was more grilling than a texan barbaque
so true
Haha true

After reading all hating comments I just wanna say that victory in ww2 as important for Russians as the end of segregation for Americans! Nobody asks for support, just be polite and respect that!! millions of people died after all! Its just a 70year tradition to honor those people!
I`m sick of this guy's bias...he is so annoying
+iJustFlyDammit
He just can't help himself, not to present everything about Russia in a cynical and negative way.
Hes a ukrainian jew
+ilya Kozlov fuck off Nazi
this series is probably the most neutral piece of journalism you'll find on the net. That doesnt meant that there's no bias. But if you look at how this guy and his team asked subversive and important questions to both sides and managed to still be accepted by both is due to that fact
+ilya Kozlov He's not Ukrainian. He was born in USSR in part that is now Russia.
The girl at 4:10 is spot-on. Say what you want about Russia, but at least they aren't a bunch of "gender-fluid" other-kin. Men are still men, and women are still women, and they aren't ashamed of being born a certain gender.
You're a homophobe !!! :)
is this really what unites russians? half of your "pop stars" on tv are gender-less entities. you sound very sophisticated with your comment. you must feel insecure? why on earth?
What Dave is saying is true.
True
Dave, you just don't know that Russia has one of the largest lesbian and gay populations in the world, but all of this is back-roomed.
"Comrade President" 😂😂😂
Haha
did you know ras is in russian 1 and RASputin is first putin so why isnt putin named dva putin
Sadly this is one of the worse reports by Simon. It is needlessly patronizing. He failed to show what it means to Russian people instead he projected his own feelings and thoughts.
***** Yeah, Death to America! There are real feelings of Russians ...
Nick R-Negative You do realize that an American is taking the interview right?
***** Simon is russian though
hansthurfjell he does not identify him self as such.
***** But he is russian, but he got dragged and beaten by pro-russians so now he identifies himself as anonymous when out in public
I wish VICE would be more neutral. Videos like this aren't gonna convince Russian supporters to change their views. It'll just confirm their belief its them against western imperialism.
And I know the May Day like parades appear threatening to us in the west but is Russia the only country that has parades like this? No
I hate that I'm sort of defending Russia & Putin but how is this different from the US having ww2 vintage planes flying in formations over DC this past weekend? I loved seeing our Mustangs & Superfortress fly over the White House and have no problem with Russia doing something similar.......
That xenophobic rapping grandmom was a little ridiculous though lol
***** funnily enough I pretty much agree with everything you just said. I dont personally watch VE day or May Day parades and think they are inherently threatening. But they are easy targets for people trying to push a narrative of the threatening foreign power who are arming themselves for war.
I know exactly what you mean, I watch a video on youtube about new military hardware or F35s breaking the sound barrier almost at ground level and I think "damn that is cool. It gives me pride that my country can make stuff like that". I dont watch that and think "we are so badass I hope other countries are scared of us". But someone else may see it as US war mongering or western imperialism. I guess it's just different points of view.
And yeah I guess our societies are different and Im of the opinion we are too politically correct and have made a society where people are afraid to say the wrong thing. And im not alone, again its media or certain groups that just wait for someone to say something that pisses them off and then think they have the right to bitch for the next 2 weeks.
There is a way to have equality while not having everyone becoming whimps
***** is the SU-34 the fairly new gen 5 fighter? I watched a video of one intercepting a UN jet in Russian airspace doing the wing tipping to let him know he had him. Was pretty cool.
But the F35 has a bad reputation in the military because it's crazy expensive to produce and not as maneuverable as previous fighters. Some wanna move towards unmanned planes & bring back the F22s. The best thing about the F35 is it's amazing stealth capabilities but that is already being improved on other models in development.
My favorite planes we had/have are the ww2 P51 Mustangs, the vietnam B-52 Stratofortress, and the workhorse for our ground troops the A-10 Warthog. The A-10 is the shit, it looks big and cumbersome for a modern jet but it is crazy durable, rarely breaks, is loved by the pilots, and most importantly loved by the ground troops because it's the best close air support ever made. The plane is designed specifically for the 30mm Avenger cannon and just is encased in armor. And having a badass shark mouth paint scheme on the nose just tops it off.
Do Russians aircraft do paint schemes for specific types or something? anytime i see a russian aircraft it has that black paint scheme the migs were famous for
Smart...smart...
That was my first thought. Dont know why they have become so biased now
Paul Cipollini If someone is retarded enough that their views are inherently strengthened simply by being exposed to opposing view points then I don't think there's much hope for them anyway.
Vladimir Putin:
25% Authoritarian President.
15% Nationalist.
10% Richman.
50% James Bond.
99.9% Reunite Soviet Territories

Do the people complaining about simons bias not remember he was literaly kidnapped and helld by pro russian sepratists for a solid 3 days?
merlin1997ish Jewish lookin' fella from the america comes poking his nose around the war zone. Def' not a threat.
***** He is not the only journalist that has been detained. But you're right, journalists coming to the war zone would be a threat to the separatists. That is a very telling fact.
Journalist integrity compels him to forget it or atleast outright say that his reporting contains personal bias
merlin1997ish Black sites, Rectal feeding, water boarding!!! ... Kidnapped for entire 3 days ....
Gouky Yeah, I remember when the US water boarded journalists.
Idiot.
Simon. why you didn't show the "Immortal Regiment"?
Perun1974 propaganda, you know
Игорь Белозеров It is entirely possible that he didn't see it...
Perun1974 here they are in one big pile. Those people holding pictures of "Immortal Regiment" are just as fake as all Kremlin propaganda LOL (1) www.planetputin.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Bessmertniy-polk-thrown-signes-9-May-15-300x199.jpg (2) jpgazeta.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/foto-stopka-bp-420x2831-jpg.jpg
Alex Firebull Where you from?
Perun1974 what difference does it make? )) Are you trying to say those pictures a fake?
02:35 Even the tanks in Russia are drunk!
Russia, the only European country that still has a pair of balls. Who isn't afraid to display nationalism.
Incognito Walröss ukraine also displays nationalism, such nationalism that certian people find it okay to kill others who dont display that nationalism.
Incognito Walröss Russia isn't just ''european country'', it's also an asian country
I don't wanna brag or anything but here in Vienna we had an awesome anniversary celebration WITHOUT any military presence at all. It was right in front of one of our imperial palaces, the Vienna Philharmonics played Beethoven's 9th on a lovely spring evening and there were over 15.000 people attending. A contemporary witness told us her hideos story about how GeStaPo arrested and later executed her mother and we payed respect to the victims of the Nazi regime while also celebrating the liberation. The ambassadors of the "Big 4" were sitting right next to one another witthout any problems whatsoever. I just don't understand how showing off your latest military hardware in an enormous parade is an appropriate way of paying respect to the millions of Soviets that died in the war...
PAXperMortem this parade is more of an excuse to show their military power than to celebrate the ww2 victory russia wants to keep reminding the world that they have the power to take all of Europe if they choose also are their any vidoes im curios of this event you guys had if any videos in english send link if you can thanks
Isn't it "the big 5"? Or did you mean without Russia?
Raul Iacoban
Russia, France, Great Britain and the US, the four Allies that liberated Europe. Technically one could add Canada, the former Soviet nations like Ukraine as well as some smaller European countries to the list, but it was mainly the four I mentioned that were represented in the event.
Matthew Larrabee
I'll see if I can find something.
PAXperMortem "I just don't understand how".. it´s a tradition
Nice to see that the Russians are having the same trouble with their new military toys that the U.S. is having with its F-35, a plane that can't fly, and the USS Independence, an ocean-going ship that disintegrates in salt water.
***** Actually the F-35 can fly, now
george phillips Oh good, it only took them nine years.
***** Pretty sure the driver pulled the mountain break accidentally, the vehicle didn't even need any repairing.
***** Lol dude just give up the tank was disabled.
***** Do you really think a professional tank driver would go "Gee, I wonder what this lever does" in the middle of a parade? Honestly I hope it was a mechanical breakdown, because that type of incompetence doesn't reflect well on a tank training program.
actually that is not only Russia’s Victory Day. It is the Victory Day of all Soviet people.
Bora Yıldız
No it is not! Despite the fact that world was freed from Hitler and his horrendous regime, it still was the day when many countries were occupied by soviet russia forecefully becoming "soviet people".
WW2 truly was europes last hope... and we lost...
Frederick William just sit in your Wolfenstein castle and eat muffins !!!
Wie wahr!
Kurt A. We truly need a new wave of nationalism all across europe.
Frederick William yeah it was again when Russia fucked Europe.
New opportunities will arise...
I love how Rupert Murdoch controlled Vice focuses on the smallest thing like a broken down tank with engine failure to illustrate embarrassment over the entire Russian military.
Not sure they need to focus on anything really Russia does a good enough job itself of embarrassing itself subs catching fire subs sinking while in port aircraft carrier breaking down so much it goes on exercise with a tug boat tanks sitting in fields rotting these they claim are in reserve conscripts killing themself in large numbers troops constantly killing there own side on exercise nuclear arena in need of complete overhaul but can't be done because the Ukraine does it can't build large ships anymore lost that ability has no helicopter engine plants lost that I the Ukraine do you want me to go on ?
Rupert Murdock only had a 5% stake in Vice last I checked. Has this changed? If not, that's hardly control. It's hardly anything actually.
IIMagiciaN
"Rupert Murdoch controlled Vice"
Who knew owning 5% meant you controlled a company?
IIMagiciaN How did they "focus" on it? They mentioned it once, that's it.
IIMagiciaN does rupert murdoch control RT? they reported on it...
Meanwhile, the Russian navy never sails out without towing boats because the ships continually break down. They stand no chance against NATO, not that it will ever come to a direct confrontation
Darth Zoddo The only nations that would be more or less prepared to stand against Russia besides the US are Britain and France, perhaps Italy Turkey and Poland as-well. Germany's military while having one of the best equipment possible is underfunded and paradoxically under- equipped .All the other countries of the EU and NATO have relatively small and poorly equipped armed forces, compared to Russia.
what vice didn't show (for some reason) tank has left the square, by his own, without help of support vehicle.
Nice show, I wish the U.K. and us Americans were able to celebrate with you guys.
Timothy Brown in the past other countries including the US and UK and many NATO countries have taken part in the parade
UK at least still holds military parades for the monarchy... Had the monarchy not survived, I'd think they might have close to none.
No way...... maybe victory parade on red squer but with out ruSSians.
This parade shows that Russia has maintained its patriotic energy all the way from WWII. Meanwhile, the height of Patriotism in the US occurs when some veteran with PTSD gets to throw a pitch during a baseball game. Got to love the striking differences.
MsTbsd
You were probably one of the fools who was scolding old people for wearing St. George ribbons. Ты забыл своих героев
***** scrolling old people
you have a useless hobby troll, like your life
***** you again...
What a bunch of clowns
+russianbuds Well, where I live, people who wear St.George ribbons, get beat up or worse, killed, seen it happen.
I love that music that's playing over the credits.
Simon!!! I had no idea when I chose to watch this that Simon was the host! He is an awesome reporter!
9:49 That SMILE!! :) LOL
Damnit I scrolled down again. T_T
great report
This parade has been happening since 1945. This isn't anything new. Its a great parade where ALL the allies and more were invited to participate. If they choose not to come this year, shame on them, not shame on the Russian Federation.
This is a great parade to respect all those who died in the second world war. I'd really disappointed everyone who watches VICE can't stop talking shit about how terrible the Russian government is for once.
Russophobic hatred and trolling in 3, 2, 1
Everybody seems to think this video was very pro Russian. I don't, if anything I thought it was quite anti Russian.
It was immensely anti-Russian, and obviously so.
Imagine it now
Can anyone tell me, whats the music in the end? I like it.
Want to play it while I play a game. Thank you.
Kinda chuckled at that one guy in the parade. Everyone was looking serious and he was just like "Ayyyy".
"The crowd loves ICBM's" Lol
Love and respect from India let BRICS Prosper even more
got to love the stalinist with emporio armani glasses, crazy.
Why noone says what happend with the failed tank? I found a bunch of videos that show the failed tank but none show how they fix it or what was the problem. Anyone know?
Why do I always make the same mistake and try to read the Vice's comment section?
SMH
That russian kim yong un that sounds like elvis presley!
How do you expect to pick up a tank on radar?
T 14 Armata: Grandpa what is this Medal of honor and looks like since 1941?
KV 2: Let me tell you a great story.
you will be happy to know that both of the tank crews are now in the Gulag. one for lack of tank maintenance and the other for being unable to tow a tank.
And let that be a lesson to the rest of them!
exactinmidget92 le epic gulag joke
exactinmidget92 Don't forget the entirety of the assembly line staff who put the tank together.
1:42 even in Russia they have selfy-sticks ... god help us all
The tank didn't break down, the operator just didn't know what he was doing and applied some sort of mountain brake lol
VICE, you forgot to mention that the T-14 engine failure was during a exercise of the parade, not the actual parade.
At least the T-14 also make for good tow-trucks as seen at 3:06
Dat moment when you realise your "next-gen" battle tank has engine failure during an parade
Badass MLG 360 no scope Stormtrooper it is still in development.
How you got there in the West say: work in progres
y the way, what's with the F 35?
Badass MLG 360 no scope Stormtrooper Fuel over.
Badass MLG 360 no scope Stormtrooper someone is going to get "suicided" with 6 shots to the back of the head for that mistake.
Badass MLG 360 no scope Stormtrooper nice to see vieo game tank expert in the comments
Badass MLG 360 no scope Stormtrooper lol it was rehersal, stupid.
2:38 The tank didn't broke down but the driver accidentailly hit the handbrake and could't get it off.
Спасибо
5:00 This old Lady is so damn right!
3:07 The 2nd most powerful army in the world, my friends.
Where? I don't see it. Ukraine seem to be proving you wrong and Russia have proven themselves a laughing stock to the top 5 most powerful armies in the world.
@@Unwanted_truth_ there clearly being ironic, the time stamp linked is litterly the tank failing.
That Aussie guy is a champion, he has perfectly encapsulated the Australian sense of humor
when the tank failed my first thought was "actually, that's par for the course, all tanks have a pretty high failure rate, oddly enough"
My grandfather was also in these parades since Stalin's age and I was in this
Are you depressed?
10:05 Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 anyone? kek XD
That Kim Jong Un impersonator was arrested at the Pyeongchang Olympics lmao
Kim Jong-un is the most interesting character in this video.
We may have different opinions with regard to leaders but from a common Scot I say god bless Russia 🇷🇺 🏴🇷🇺🏴
Yes and it's ww2 leader. Hitler's partner, Stalin, who only went against the nazis after they attacked the Soviet union, breaching the agreement the Soviets had made with them to carve up Poland and each take a slice...
i see war thunder posters
Oh yeah!
Thought I was the only one noticing that
About the whole T-14 thing apparently the driver didn't know how the damn thing's brakes activate and accidentally activated the brake lol
I would like to know how long it took to them got that tank moving again? xD
Too much salt. You know there could be less salt, but there's too much
Better a Tank with engine failure than some F-22 billion dollars coffin.
ibstrd Last time I checked the F-22 was perfectly fine...
Too bad one JSAM from an f-35 will completely disable and destroy a shitty T-14.
Guys, really, give me the name of the last track. I cant sleep without it.
Went 5 years without sleeping
I'm not a fan of Putin or Russian nationalism at all, but to deny the importance of the Soviet Union in the defeat of Nazi fascists is to deny historical fact.
To bad you didn't show the march of the Immortals.
ColdWarWarriors you mean the same little pink men that die all the time from friendly fire
I still have lots of respect for Vice News, but this Simon is pathetic. This is not about being favourable or against a country, but being capable of doing good journalism. He is so stupid with his anti-russia propaganda. Vice can find someone better, or at least have another reporter with best knowledge of the world and more capable in the art of communication.
Renato Kestener He is russian himself who got dragged and beaten by pro-russians, but otherwise he is a very neutral.
Lol, he Russian? And where is the video of him being 'captured'? I've seen people talking about it.
Tin Foil Hat it is a very early video about Ukraine
Link?
Tin Foil Hat just look at the first episodes, they are still upp, sorry I am like my dad whn it comes to this like not actually showing people directly because I am to lazy
Tank armor is sloped so that armor piercing rounds will be more likely to ricochet off, not to make them harder to detect with radar.
did anyone notice that the pattern the jets were in was a ribbon?
Only Simon Ostrovsky can take such a beautiful and glorious day and spin it into something negative. Good propaganda work as usual Simon.
So many conclusions, omg. He isn't a journalist anymore, he is a vlogger.
8:48 Dang !!
That part with the tank was pretty damn funny.
Oh and by the way, the T-14 that "broke down" during rehearsal did not actually break down. The problem was that the driver, who was ill experienced with the new tank, accidentally activated the brakes and did not know how to release them. It was inexperience, not mechanical failure.
That is just as bad yet you explained it like it isn't a total embarrassment.. Weird
VICE News correspondent Simon Ostrovsky attended the weekend's celebrations in Moscow, speaking with attendees who came out to display their patriotism for the motherland.
Watch "Silencing Dissent in Russia: Putin’s Propaganda Machine” - bit.ly/1JaHYlS
VICE News it's kind of a shit move to say that the Saint George's ribbon is associated with separatists in Eastern Ukraine. that symbol is older than Ukraine itself. not very professional (though, Simon doesn't say that, the way he phrased it implies support of the separatist movement by the Russian population). for an independent company you sure can be biased.
***** american propaganda, taste like macdonald. too bad, i like cake and doritos.
***** Russia probably didn't ruin half the world, but it sure ruined most of itself and satellite countries. And they're up for another round.
*****
yes i coud not say it any better the media has become horrible 1 sided on both sides. It also increases tensions and fears of the people, which if reporting was more about truth and giving a non biased view of all sides included, would not be the case.
Yay we beat the Nazis!!! Oh wait, what was that? Stalin killed more than twice the people Hitler did, yet is considered a hero? Lol Russians are only slightly better than Muslims, but not by much.
The Kim Jong un cosplayer was the best
felt like she was rapping lol the old lady
I think that victory day is important for all of us to remember the contributions that allied counties RUSSIA as well, the liberation of all Europe and saving in that the entire world. Remember that if it were not for Russia joining the war, Europe and perhaps the world would be speaking German and flying the nazi flag. In all, what a beautiful country and I wish to one day travel to it.
Viva viva Russia viva President Putin. The Happiness i feel of having a World power that is worthy of all the power. Happy Victory Day my friends.
So a man that kills political opponents and journalist is worthy of have power in your mind?
You wish Russia was a world power
Yea they’re showing they’re worthy today.😂
Why didnt Simon coment on the tank that stoped that the driver due stress just accidentially had switched the mountain break on.
It was. Test run, who the fuck cares. And it is still quite embarrassing.
Anton Taylor It didn't even need any fixing, it must have been the break because the driver turned on the engine without any issues, which was seen right before the cut.
7:09 hehehe Australian represent! He should get his own tv show on the ABC.
Military parades are common in most countries and are traditional. They are used to show strength and build patriotism, plus its great fun for kids (lol). Anyway it's nice to see that vice made a documentary about it, seeing as Russia probably increased their budget for this years parade, due to its current economic state and not to mention the fact that they are on the brink of another cold war (did it actually end in 1991 or just evolve?). Parades were an easy way of keeping appearances with the world and your own people at least during the 20th century. I've been to a couple of victory day parades in Russia as a kid and had some good times, thats all I have to say about that.
ZIVELA RUSIJA I UKRAJINA! od jednog srbina. NO WAR BETWEEN SLAVS
andrejcccc Привет Сербия! Держись! Россия окрепнет и вернет Косово.Косово это Сербия!
Kim Jong-Un Impersonator was there. XD
At 4:10 is that a world of tanks banner?
Wow Vice...when Russian do it : what kind of message are you sending to the world.
Ironically France (where I live) we have grand millitary parade on Bastille day.
The soldiers seem so happy when marching that shows something about how patriotic they are and I respect that
lol, that impersonator was too hilarious xD
Music so sweet. Where can i find it? No darude trolls pls:)
I used to to like vice news... I knew this guy was going to be a jackass about this victory parade and I was not disappointed. How about showing a little more respect, after all Russia lost over 20 million people in the war. Without Russia's sacrifice, world war 2 would have not been a victory for the Allies.
You are historically correct and Stalin would've sacrificed the entire population of the USSR if he'd had to.
Yes Actually, They Gave The Western Allies Time To Recover Losses In France And The Allies Also Helped Russia Back With A Sacrifice Too! Which Is D-Day
Russia armed forces the best in the world
nikola maksimovic Lol
The Soviet Union was defeated once with no weapons, Russia is just lucky to be alive 😊
someone please put some bars on that old lady's track😂😂
Not gonna lie... that new tank looks slick
Did he just say "Bestest" tank..?
I do not think that is a word.
What is more embarrassing is the fact, their first choice was to send that little piece of armor to try and move it. haha
***** Ha
lets also remember. Russia's Military revolves around the principles of.. Quantity over Quality.
***** ikr isn't he a journalist?
***** I'm sure they were.
like was said in the video.
It "Will" be the main Russian tank.
Which means they are not finished with it yet.
You realize English isn't his first language right?
He spoke Russian and Ukrainian for years before he learned English...
Grandmaster Dinner Roll
He's a JOURNALIST! Your supposed to have a good vocab. He's not an interpreter! No excuse
Putin has a nice army!!
Now I know why Russians walk with pride :D
Also, anyone know what tanks those are at 0:56?
Does anyone know what the song at 9:41 is called?
