These cities' firms and factories are responsible for having designed and produced the most advanced types of Russian armored vehicles over the past fifty years, including tanks such as the T-14 Armata, the T-90MS, the T-80 and the T-72, as well as the self-propelled howitzers Koalitsiya-SV and Msta-S.

The #NashParad (Our Parade) promotion is being launched by a team from the Russian online tank game Project Armata, alongside Mail.Ru Group, which owns Russia's leading email service and owns the country's most popular social network, VKontakte.

It is part of an educational project related to the achievements of modern Russian armored vehicles; its information partners include the Russian International Information Agency Rossiya Segodnya and Rosinformbyuro. Details about the #NashParad project are already available on the relevant website, which will officially be unveiled on May 1.
