Preps for Victory Day

Every year in April, when I look out of the window  I see this picture:



As far as I know this is Topol-M, (a three-stage intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM)), no tanks yet, but they will be here pretty soon, I guess. Then in the morning the soldiers arrive. And you can hear the sounds of the orchestra and some military songs. 
All this means that the preparation for the Victory Day parade is in its final stage. You can see it every year now on the Red Square, 9th of May. Every year I make the video of all these tanks going from this place to the Red Square, all the traffic is stopped at that moment. Pretty scary feeling - I remember the August of 1991, and then 1993. Hope I'll be watching all this only during the Parade preparation. 


But the moon was beautiful tonight.
