The parade was divided into two parts, a full military parade on Poklonnaya Hill and a veterans ceremony on Red Square. The 2020 edition of the parade, marking the 75th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany, was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.[11][12] It was the first time since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the resumption of military parades in 1995 that parade was to be cancelled on a holiday itself.
