"Let the brave image of our great ancestors - Nevsky, Donskoy, Minin, Pozharsky, Suvorov and Kutuzov - inspire you! "Stalin warned the Red Army soldiers over the mausoleum platform. A month later, the Nazis, who had previously had a reputation as an invincible enemy, suffered one of their first defeats. "This parade is one of the most brilliant displays of courage and confidence to be seen during the war," wrote the British "Daily Mail".
