Same, I say we bring over a few Russian tanks as well, would be awesome.

Bonus points if they include Zeppelins.

We have had Red Army vetrans, (not serving members), march at the annual ANZAC Day commemorations for many years along with many other nations. Up until around the mid 1990's though it was almost only Australian, New Zealand and UK vetran associations that were permitted to march.

TBH I don't see why the the Russians shouldn't be able to march in the US. The commemoration thing is interesting though as the USSR commemorated the "Patriotic War" and not WWII. This was always poised as an entirely Soviet conflict against the Facist aggressors. Their positiion was that it was a fight for survival of the Communist ideal with a view to expanding that ideal to less enlightened countries once the war swung in their favour. In their opinion the war would have been won by them regardless of what the rest of the allies did.

They clearly conveniently fail to recall any of the Arctic convoys, the Persian Corridor and the Pacific Route or Lend Lease materiel provided at virtually no cost by the UK and US.
