Why is their victory day on June 17? Didn’t the nazis surrender at the end of April and then the Japanese in mid august?
Nvm photo was taken June 17, but what day is the victory parade?

Victory Parade is supposed to be on May 9th, but was postponed due to COVID-19

How many victory parades does Russia hold each year?
One, but there's usually one or two rehearsals before that.
This year's parade was postponed due to pandemic, and there was only the air part in May. Now it's time for the main part (and apparently the air part again).
UPD. My bad, forgot about Defender of the Fatherland Day parade. So that's two.
