Victory parade

Victory parade

A victory parade is a type of parade held in order to celebrate a victory. Because of that, victory parades can be divided into military victory parades and more frequent sport victory parades.

Among the most famous parades are the victory parades celebrating the end of the First World War and the Second World War.

In the Russian Federation victory parades are held annually in every major city celebrating the Soviet victory in the Second World War.
