On November 7, our country marks the 85th anniversary of the famous military parade held on Red Square, near the Kremlin, in a move that became a symbol of the unbending will of the Soviet people. At a time when the enemy was already at the gates of Moscow, when the front line was only 50 km from the Red Square and only 20 km from the city limits in the northwest, the leadership, military command and the armed forces of the country demonstrated unparalleled courage and their unwavering determination to defend to the end. The parade marked the beginning of the final and decisive push of our forces, the frontline workers and all those who defend - from a prolonged defensive struggle to a counterattack along the entire front line. It was in the fateful, very cold November of 1941, in one of the most difficult moments in the history of our country, our people demonstrated extraordinary, unprecedented courage, never before seen in human history, strength of spirit and indomitable determination. At the cost of enormous sacrifice and suffering, our people stood up not only against the foreign enemy invaders, but the enormous evil itself, embodied in Hitler's "Nazi Plan". It was then the immortal, legendary achievements that echoed all over the globe. Achieved by the people of Panfilov, the fearless Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, the undaunted Podolsk cadets and thousands of other young Komsomol members and Red Army soldiers who selflessly defended their homeland and fought the enemy to the death. The importance of the November 1941 march can hardly be overstated. The legendary march of the defenders of Moscow along the Red Square became a demonstration of the strength of spirit, courage and determination of the soldiers and commanders of the Red Army to defend their country and crush the enemy who treacherously invaded the Soviet Union.
