Vietnamese people in Russia are excited about the parade: 'Can't wait to see the soldiers'

Hundreds of overseas Vietnamese in Russia were present to cheer on the Vietnam People's Army participating in the parade celebrating the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

A large number of Vietnamese people living and working in Russia were present on the central streets of Moscow (Russia) on May 3 and 7 to watch and cheer for the Vietnam People's Army participating in joint training and rehearsals.

Ms. Le Thi Phuong Chung (from Ha Tinh ) has lived in Russia for more than 24 years and has also watched many parades or military reviews in Moscow, but this year is the year she is most excited because of the participation of the Vietnam People's Army. Before the training and rehearsal days, she posted on her personal Facebook to invite more Vietnamese people living in Moscow to go to the streets around Red Square to cheer for the Vietnamese soldiers.

"I was very surprised that I only called on Facebook and nearly 500 people came here to cheer for the Vietnamese team. I am very happy, my people are very enthusiastic and very united. Vietnam, no matter where it is, is very emotional, very loving and respectful to everyone," Ms. Chung shared.

These days, the Russian capital is still cold, some days it snows heavily, but the cold cannot stop the footsteps and spirit of Vietnamese expatriates. They put on warm clothes, holding red flags with yellow stars, gathered along the streets to follow every step of the Vietnamese soldiers.

For overseas Vietnamese like Ms. Le Thi Phuong Chung, this is not only an opportunity to admire beautiful parades but also an opportunity to connect with fellow countrymen, sharing pride when the image of the country is solemnly introduced in the heart of the Russian capital.

She said that because this year's parade had leaders from many countries attending, security was tighter than other parades she had watched. Many roads in the center were closed, so she and her friends and relatives planned to choose a route not too close to Red Square to watch the air show and watch the cannon fire.
