68 soldiers of the 1st Army Officer School will represent the Vietnam People's Army in the parade marking the 80th anniversary of Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War, taking place on Red Square in Moscow, Russia on May 9.
The 80-member delegation from the 1st Army Officer School is scheduled to leave for Russia on April 23. The parade group includes 73 soldiers, including 68 official members and 5 reserve members, along with leaders in charge, training instructors, doctors, interpreters and security guards.
The soldiers participating in the parade are aged 19-30 and 1.8 m or taller. These are officers, lecturers and students with well-proportioned bodies, who can perform command movements quickly, strongly and accurately.
Major General Nguyen Van Thanh, Deputy Principal of Army Officer School 1, said that the school has organized forces and actively trained and practiced for the participating forces, aiming to improve the qualifications, command movements, and coordination ability of the forces participating in the parade.
The goal is to demonstrate the discipline, unity and strength of the Vietnam People's Army, as well as the desire to build peaceful , friendly, cooperative and mutually developing relations with international friends.
The Great Patriotic War (1941 - 1945) was the largest-scale and most costly war in human history, with about 27 million Soviet soldiers and civilians killed to protect the homeland and humanity from fascism.
The war ended on May 9, 1945, when Nazi Germany signed an act of unconditional surrender before Allied representatives in Berlin. The Soviet Red Army held its first Victory Parade on June 24, 1945. Parades were held on May 9 in 1965, 1985, and 1990.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russia resumed the Victory Parade in Moscow in 1995. Since then, the event has taken place annually on May 9, only being postponed in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
