Just one tank on show in scaled-down Russian Victory Day parade
3,118It was the shortest Victory Day Parade Kremlin watchers can remember - there were no modern tanks, no flypast and even Russian President Vladimir Putin's speech lasted for less than 10 minutes.
The parade is held annually to mark the former Soviet Union's victory against Nazi Germany and normally it is a three-hour spectacular as the county tries to show its military strength.
But this year's parade was very different and the only tank on show was a vintage T-34 from the 1940s.
