Armenians and Azerbaijanis cursed massively during the march because of the Nagorno-Karabakh. In Syktyvkar, students came to the “Immortal Regiment” campaign with a cartoon portrait of Stalin and Tom Marx and Engels. They said that they have Lenin. In Kiev, the action took place in brawls with fiery patriots.
The “Immortal Regiment” was preceded by parades . In Moscow, the parade was held without air show due to cloudy weather, although about one hundred million rubles were spent on acceleration of clouds. However, on Twitter of the Russian Ministry of Defense, the aviation parade took place - a tweet with a beautiful photo was removed only by two o’clock in the afternoon in Moscow. ( Here is the Moscow parade in numbers). In St. Petersburg, respectively, there was no parade of warships. But for the first time in 30 years, a parade with the participation of military equipment was held in Simferopol ( short reporting ), and in Sevastopol at a concert in honor of Victory Day was performed by Julia Samoilova, which the Ukrainian authorities did not allow Eurovision.

US President Donald Trump fired the director of the FBI James Komi . Komi headed the possible involvement of senior officials in relations with Russia. The dismissal, however, seems to be connected with the scandal around the personal postal server Hillary Clinton - it was the Komi made a few days before the election that the statement on the discovery of new secret letters on this server, according to Clinton herself, cost her victory. An attempt to correlate these two components and evaluate the consequences of dismissal - here (English).
