At the upcoming parade in Beijing, which is to take place on September 3rd in honor of the 70th anniversary of the end of the Second World War, Russian servicemen will bring up the rear. According to the tradition, this is the most honored position.
"If we consider the history of parades, the most honored position is to bring up the rear.. Because the focus will be drawn to the final crew,’ gazeta.ru cites the commander of the 1st company of the honorary guard, Captain Dmitry Bobrov.
The Russian company will consist of three platoons.
"For me personally this is very nice, because my grandfather fought for the independence of our Homeland. He fought both in Stalingrad and in Konigsberg, he has the Order of Glory,’’ the captain said.
