List of October Revolution Parades in Moscow
The annual October Revolution Day Parade on 7 November (Russian: Военный Парад на 7 Ноября) on Moscow's Red Square was a military parade of the Moscow Military District of the Soviet Armed Forces that took place every year from 1919–1990 commemorating the anniversary of the 1917 October Revolution. Led by representatives from the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks), the insurrectionists overthrew the liberal Russian Provisional Government led by Alexander Kerensky, on 6–7 November 1917 (N.S., 24–25 October O.S.).
On 1 May 1918, on International Workers' Day, the first parade of the Red Army took place on Khodynka Field. Subsequently, many military parades were traditionally held, mainly on Red Square. At first, these events were held on the anniversary of the October Revolution. On 7 November 1919, a parade was held in honor of the second anniversary of the events of 1917. Columns of cadets, infantry, cavalry, and units, as well as horse-drawn artillery took part in the procession. Starting in 1922, parades began to be held twice a year: on 1 May and 7 November. There were no parades held from 1942–1944 due to occupation of Soviet territories by the German Wehrmacht. The last May Day parade took place in 1968, and the November parade ended in 1990.
