International visitors warmly invited to experience digital displays in Moscow's streets
In Moscow, a grand welcome was set for foreign dignitaries attending the Victory Parade on May 9th. Media holding MAER unleashed personalized digital displays across the city, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Screens graced the routes leading from airports and the city center, gracing premium media facades at the CSKA Arena, Krasnopresnenskaya embankment, and Bolshaya Tulskaya.
In Konstantin Mayor's words, "Digital outdoor media isn't just a link between generations but also between nations. By extending our hospitality to international guests on Moscow's boulevards, we underscore our openness and respect for all who share this historic moment with us."
The parade, brimming with foreign leaders, boasted a diverse lineup. The list included leaders from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Abkhazia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Venezuela, Vietnam, Guinea-Bissau, Egypt, Zimbabwe, China, the Republic of Congo, Cuba, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Palestine, Slovakia, Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, and South Ossetia.
Among them, President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, made his presence known despite reported travel difficulties in Lithuania and Latvia's airspace. The North Korean ambassador represented their country, and the Secretaries-General of various international organizations, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, will be attending the ceremonial events in Moscow. Representatives from India, Indonesia, Nicaragua, and South Africa will also be present at a high level.
With a potential roster of up to 29 foreign leaders, this year's parade promises to be a notable gathering. Major political figures like Xi Jinping (China), Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Brazil), and Nicolás Maduro (Venezuela) are among those expected to attend. Miguel Díaz-Canel (Cuba) and Nguyễn Phú Trọng (Vietnam) are also anticipated to be there, as well as Robert Fico (Slovakia), who seems to be the only European leader, besides Vučić, to confirm his attendance.
Nonetheless, concerns over safety and travel remain. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has expressed worries due to recent drone attacks on Moscow. Meanwhile, the US has yet to confirm any official participation, with diplomatic tension lingering between Russia and the West.
Despite the uncertainties, the Victory Parade in Moscow underscores Russia's determination to showcase its influence and foster engagements with key countries across the globe.
