HD Soviet October Revolution Parade, 1974 Парад 7 Ноября

This is the parade on Moscow's Red Square devoted to the 57th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution, 7 November 1974. This parade is notable for being the last to feature heavy nuclear missiles on parade, as well as tanks and tracked armor. There would also be no demonstration of workers this year due to the rainy weather. Taking the salute is Minister of Defense, Marshal of the Soviet Union Andrei Grechko. Commanding the parade is commander of the Moscow Military District, Colonel General Vladimir Govorov. Music performed by the Combined Orchestra of the Moscow Garrison conducted by Major General Nikolai Nazarov.

I liked the old Russian pull on jack boots they wore in the '70s more than today's lace up boots.

Now seriouslly, I doubt that ever was or ever will be military parades as spectaculars as the Soviet ones from 1970's.

I just realized, the three men on the tribune are all ethnic Ukrainians born in what would've have been modern day Ukraine. The man giving the speech is Andrei Grechko
, Marshall of the Soviet Union. The man standing to his right is Nikolai Podgorny
, President of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, he is also an Ethnic Ukrainian and was born in the region of modern day Ukraine. And most importantly, Leonid Brezhnev, the second longest leader of the Soviet Union. He is also an ethnic Ukrainian, so I'm pretty anyone who thinks Ukrainians were suppressed or were targeted by "Russian" domination should really learn history, because Ukrainians held some very important roles in the government. Not to mention, the speaker (Nikolai Podgorny
) continuously pronounces the letter "Г" in every word as "Heh" even though he is speaking Russian. This is because Ukrainians often forget to pronounce "Г" as Ghe, and instead they pronounce it in the Ukrainian way as "Heh"

Чётко, красиво и строго, без всякого современного гламура. Леониду Ильичу нет ещё и 70-ти.

The music quality in this parade is fantastic. One of my personal favorites

Первой всегда шла общевойсковая академия им. М.В. Фрунзе, за ней - военно-политическая академия, затем бронетанковая академия, академия им. Дзержинского (РВСН), академии военно-инженерная и химзащиты, военно-воздушная академия им. Гагарина и вленно-воздушная инженерная академия им. Жуковского.

USSR at its peak...before stagnation set in, before Afghan War but had developed most it would after WW2 before those problems set in...also US was just feeling full humiliation after Vietnam and would soon be in an economic dive themselves.

nice parade without comments, so music can be heard so clearly!

En 1974 ya había TV en colores en Europa. En Chile, para el golpe de estado de 1973, no. Existen registros muy escasos y en un blanco y negro de bajísima resolución. Lo más impresionante de estos desfiles, para mi, son los camiones, me gustan mucho. Al igual que la gran banda interpretando la marcha Несокрушимая и легендарная al final. La gran Unión Soviética fue el contrapeso de Estados Unidos por muchos años, hasta que la misma corrupción de sus políticos la hizo colapsar.

[LucaLindholm]

Yes! I've always wandered if there HD parades of these revolution parades!

Thank you so much! ;D

The 1960s and 1970s were the best heyday of the Soviet Union

I really think the overcast weather creates a somber mood. Does anyone else wonder where the heck all those large signs are? I would love to own one!
