As for any street closures in Biysk from May 5 to 8, currently, there's no public information available. We recommend checking local government announcements, city websites, or regional news outlets closer to the event date for Biysk-specific Parade routes or closures. In Russia, Victory Day parades often lead to temporary closures near memorials, central squares, or main avenues.

- In addition to dangerous items, people are advised to leave large volumes of liquids, including perfume, at home, as they are also prohibited.
