Old cars drove through St. Petersburg for Victory Day. War veterans, people who lived through the siege, and current military members rode in rare vehicles from long ago. City lawmaker Alexander Belsky joined them for the special drive. He shared pictures online about his time with the veterans. He said he spent precious moments talking with them.
Belsky noticed these heroes rarely talk about what they did. They see their actions as a simple duty to their country. The cars came from the Lenrezerv collection, which includes dozens of vehicles dating back to World War II. After driving down Nevsky Prospect, the cars stopped at the Winter Palace, where people can see all these historic vehicles on display.
Earlier that day, more than 5,000 people marched in the big parade. Soldiers, students, and first-time groups like Cossacks walked together. Visitors can view famous tanks and modern military systems throughout the day. The T-34 tank sits next to newer weapons as part of the display.
