Parade on Red Square: The Unbroken Parade On November 7, 1941, when German soldiers were on the outskirts of Moscow, the most unique parade in the country's history took place on Red Square on the occasion of the anniversary of the October Revolution. After preparing under special conditions of secrecy, against the background of a state of siege and a constant aerial threat, thousands of soldiers and commanders walked along the cobblestones. Many of them soon went to the front line, where the fate of the capital was decided. In modern Russia, the memory of the parade is anchored at the state level. Federal Law No. 200-FZ of December 29, 2004 established November 7 as the Day of Military Glory. The history of its participants is preserved in active military formations: the direct continuity from the special purpose brigade named after F. E. Dzerzhinsky is continued by the division of the same name of the Russian guard.
