Preparation for Triumphant Procession Spotted in Ekaterinburg (PICTURES, FOOTAGE)
Yekaterinburg's Victory Parade: A Showstopper Amid Gridlock
Get ready for some roadblocks, Yekaterinburg folks! Today, the city's hosting a Victory Parade dress rehearsal, so you can expect the usual traffic mayhem around town - especially on Kuibyshev Street.
Starting at the crack of dawn on May 7, 2025, and stretching until midday, the city center will be off-limits for both cars and pedestrians. So, if you're dead set on catching the rehearsal's highlights, our photo report's got you covered.
But hey, let's not forget about that street-blocking lineup! The parade features a jaw-dropping procession of modern and historical military vehicles, including tier o' concrete T-34 tanks. And guess what? The whole shebang was broadcast live, giving viewers a front-row seat to the action[1][3].
As for the less enthralling aspect of gridlock on Kuibyshev Street, we don't have exact details. But here's a wild guess: with the city's center sealed off since the early hours, all major streets, oh-so possibly including Kuibyshev Street, must've seen traffic nightmares and restrictions during the rehearsal[3].
And don't be surprised if you find residents grumbling about commuting challenges on this day[1]. Nonetheless, let's be real, this kick-ass celebration's part of the city's Victory Day festivities' grand build-up.
Keep a close eye on our channels, and we'll be bringing you all the parade's updates as they happen! Zen and YouTube are the names of our games. And if you've got news, snaps, or vids to share, give us a ring at +7 (901) 454-34-42!
