A bit of history

The first salutes were given in 1943 in honor of the liberation of Orel and Belgorod in the Great Patriotic War. These were simple artillery volleys - then no one arranged bright fireworks, since the time was military and harsh. Very often in honor of the release of some locality conventional machine guns were used for salutes. Most often, salutes were fired by flares. A full salute took place only on May 9, 1945. About a thousand anti-aircraft installations took part in it. Then thirty volleys of fireworks were fired. In addition to the roar of guns, there was also a visual range: each gun salvo was accompanied by hundreds of searchlights. According to eyewitnesses, it was a grandiose event.

ON THIS TOPIC

In terms of the number of vehicles, the parade will be the most modest in the last three years. Last year, more than 10,000 servicemen, 71 planes and helicopters, and 135 units of ground equipment participated in the celebration. The largest parade since 1991 was in 2015 - in honor of the 70th anniversary of Victory Day. Then 193 military vehicles left for Red Square, 16 thousand military personnel representing nine countries participated in the pedestrian part. 143 planes and helicopters appeared in the sky over the capital, including the latest Su-35 fighter.

The reduction in the number of armored vehicles is associated with savings, explained Viktor Murakhovsky, editor-in-chief of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine. According to him, ground equipment is always presented at parades very selectively. If you demonstrate all the samples, you will have to increase the broadcast time of the parade by five to six times and spend additional money on fuel. “What guides the selection? I think, in order to look beautiful and menacing, ”said Murakhovsky.

The Moscow authorities have announced nine tenders for fireworks in parks with a total cost of 5 million rubles. For example, fireworks in Gorky Park will cost 550 thousand rubles. Festive events are also planned for the May holidays in the capital. Tenders for their holding were drawn by the State Budgetary Institution "Moscow Directorate of Mass Events". On Victory Day, a concert will be held on Poklonnaya Hill, at which one folk and four popular groups will perform, which will perform Soviet songs. The screens will broadcast the Victory Parade and the people in a moment of silence. On the eve of Victory Day, Poklonnaya Gora will host an equestrian performance "Traditions of Russia". The cost of organizing two events will amount to 19.2 million rubles.

Another 10.2 million rubles. Moscow authorities will spend on events near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. They will last four hours and will include a “classical crossover band performance” (Sarah Brightman, Viktor Zinchuk, Andrea Bocelli perform in this style), the performance of Soviet songs, a demonstration of the historical parade of 1945, a broadcast of the modern parade on Red Square and minutes of silence. The tender documentation states that the organizer must "receive the highest blessing from the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia to conduct a festive program."

More than 10 million rubles. will be spent on the technical support of the Immortal Regiment campaign on Tverskaya Street. About 17.5 million rubles. the Moscow authorities allocated for festive events on Pushkinskaya, Triumfalnaya and Teatralnaya squares. Soviet and Russian films about the war will be shown on Pushkinskaya on May 8 and 9, after the screenings there will be “meetings-discussions”. On Triumfalnaya Square, it is planned to read poetry, perform songs, and perform theater groups. Near the Bolshoi Theater, the program "On a Date with Victory" will be dedicated to the traditional meeting of veterans. Another 5.3 million rubles. will spend on a show in the Tsaritsyno park with the participation of acrobats.

A year ago, tenders were announced for the organization of the Victory Parade for a total of 209 million rubles, RBC. However, congratulations, salutes and concerts in Moscow were not included in last year's calculations. The transportation of military personnel was also the most expensive: it cost the Ministry of Defense 158 million rubles. — more expensive than this year. The dispersal of clouds cost less - 86 million rubles, as well as last year's voice acting of the parade, which stood at 3.6 million rubles.

Spending on technology

The state will spend at least 14 million rubles on the fuel that will be used during the demonstration of aviation and ground equipment at the Moscow Victory Parade. At least another 45 million spent on tailoring dress uniform for the holiday, RBC counted.

In particular, according to RBC calculations, about 350 thousand rubles will be spent on refueling ground equipment.

How did you calculate the cost of fuel for combat vehicles

The calculation did not take into account the fuel used to warm up the equipment and the journey from Moscow to the Alabino training ground and back (about 100 km). Wheeled vehicles “got on their own”, and tracked vehicles were delivered by train: it is almost impossible to calculate how much it costs to transfer one tank, the Ministry of Defense explained. In order to find out the total cost of diesel fuel consumed during the movement of military vehicles around Moscow, the following formula was used: the capacity of the tanks is divided by the power reserve, multiplied by the length of the route, the price per liter and the number of vehicles. According to the calculation made through the Yandex.Maps application, the length of the land route, which the convoy of vehicles will follow on May 9, is 83 km. The average price for diesel fuel in the country this year amounted to 37 rubles. per litre. So, according to the formula, the T-34-85 tank will spend 181 liters of diesel fuel, or 7 thousand rubles, to complete a given route. (545 l: 250 km x 83 km x 37 rubles x 1 unit = 7 thousand).

About 13.74 million rubles will be spent on aviation flights, according to RBC estimates.

All Russian aircraft and helicopters with jet engines are refueled with aviation kerosene of the TS-1 or RT brand, the head of the flight test complex of the LII named after RBC told RBC. Gromova, Honored Pilot of Russia Boris Barsukov. According to him, this fuel is of approximately the same quality and does not differ much in price. Eight airfields will be used for aviation flights over the capital on May 9: in Moscow, Tver, Bryansk, Saratov, Kaluga, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Nizhny Novgorod regions. However, from where this or that plane or helicopter will take off and where it will land, and whether it will perform maneuvers, the military will determine the day before, the Defense Ministry told RBC: everything will depend on weather conditions, the department specified.

The approximate cost of a flight of two Tu-160 bombers is 706 thousand rubles.

How to calculate the cost of aviation fuel

For calculations, a schematic route length was used, derived from the arithmetic mean: the distance from Red Square to each of the indicated airfields was added up, the result was divided by eight (number of airfields) and multiplied by two (round trip). Thus, the approximate flight route of an aircraft or helicopter was 900 km. Calculation formula: the volume of tanks is divided by the flight range, multiplied by the length of the route, the price per liter of aviation kerosene of the RT brand and the number of pieces of equipment. Aviation kerosene of the RT brand with an average price of 32 rubles was taken as fuel. per liter (171,000 liters: 13,950 km x 900 km x 32 rubles x 2 units = 706,064 rubles).

11,000 uniforms have also been sewn to participate in the Moscow parade, the Defense Ministry said. RBC managed to find out only a partial cost of the order, it amounted to about 45 million rubles.

Of these, 1,500 sets (women's dress uniforms in white) were provided by Voentorg, the rest - by the BTK Group enterprise, the Ministry of Defense reported. In the 43rd Central Experimental Sewing Plant, subordinate to Voentorg, they refused to name the cost of the contract with the Ministry of Defense, however, they reported that the average cost of a women's dress set military uniform is about 30 thousand rubles. BTK declined to comment on the order. The Ministry of Defense could not quickly clarify the cost of the contract.

In total, only the approximate costs of the state determined from open sources for holding festivities dedicated to the Victory in Moscow amounted to 509.1 million rubles. (150 million + 98 million + 4.5 million + 515 thousand + 69.4 million + 7.4 million + 5 million + 19.2 million + 10.2 million + 10 million + 17.5 million + 5.3 million + 350 thousand + 13.74 million + 45 million + 53.1 million).

Fireworks on Victory Day will be held in the capital Russian Federation at thirty-three sites. This was announced on Tuesday by Alexander Kibovsky, who holds the position of head of the departments of culture of the capital.

The head of the department said that a lot of entertainment events were prepared for the big holiday, which are designed for ten million people.

Twelve and a half thousand military men and one hundred and twenty units of military equipment will take part here. After that, the procession of the "Immortal Regiment" will take place, to which more than seven hundred thousand people should join.
