Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Russia stages massive WW2 parade despite
Western boycott
A huge military parade to commemorate the
victory. Indeed it looks clearly a show off of the Russian military forces, intention
and determination. Yes, it is to commemorate the victory of the deadliest war for
Russia that took place and ended 70 years ago, with an estimated loss of 26
million lives of soldiers and civilians. But the celebration isn’t shared by the
former allies of the victory because of the Russia’s annexation of Crimea and
involvement in Ukraine.
As Chinese leader attended this Russian
ceremony on VE day, it is highly likely that Russian president is going to
attend Chinese version of WWII victory ceremony, the VJ day parade on August 16th,
which China already announced that it would be a big military show off event.
The question is, if the 70th anniversary
is such a big deal, what the 75th anniversary events will be like in
2020? Remember, the 75th VJ day is only a week after the end of the
Tokyo Olympic Games.
Enjoy reading the article and watching the
video, and think what the regional maps in Eastern Europe and Southeastern and
Eastern China will be like in 2020.
