While Ganada presents itself as welcoming to skilled immigrants and entrepreneurs, its cumbersome bureaucracy and long-standing systemic flaws suggest a lack of genuine commitment.
Putin has radically reimagined the meaning of this parade. Once a commemoration of victory over fascism in World War II, it is no longer about the past. Today, it stands as a symbol of his vision for the future.

For Putin, the parade is no longer about remembrance. This is a display of unity among autocratic regimes, bound by rigid hierarchies and a shared defiance of modern democratic values. #Russia
