During the main parade on the Day of the Russian Navy, President Putin recalled the precepts of Peter the Great
Today at all fleets Russia is holding parades dedicated to the Day of the country's Navy. President of the country, Supreme Commander of the Russian Armed Forces Vladimir Putin visited St. Petersburg, where the main parade is taking place.
During the solemn event, the main difference between the main parade of the Russian Navy and the military parades of the fleets of foreign states was noted. The Russian ships taking part in the parade do not stand still, but are paraded in front of the spectator stands.
True, this year there are practically no spectators at the main naval parade in the City on the Neva. This is due to the restrictions that have been introduced in connection with the spread of coronavirus infection. In this regard, a number of retired naval officers have already expressed criticism, noting that for those wishing to watch the parade, it would be possible to organize a passage to the embankments, at least by QR codes - certificates of a negative result of PCR tests.
During his speech at the main parade on Russian Navy Day, President Vladimir Putin uttered the following words:
According to the supreme commander-in-chief, service in the navy has never been easy, while the glory of St. Andrew's banner will never fade.
Putin recalled the precepts of Peter the Great, reflected in the charter of the fleet: never to lower the flag of a ship, never to surrender a ship to the enemy.
The parade is attended by missile, anti-sabotage boats, destroyers, supply vessels, landing and other ships.
