Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that the events dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Soviet and allied victory over Nazi Germany will be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the air show and fireworks would still take place.

In addition, a number of other mass events are usually planned, including the nationwide Immortal Regiments marches aimed at preserving the memory of family members who had experienced war.
