In Russian cities began to cancel the Victory Parades.

Chelyabinsk became the next Russian city, whose authorities ordered to cancel all the celebrations dedicated to the 75th anniversary of the Victory Parade. This is not the first Russian city that urgently decided to cancel the holding of celebrations dedicated to the anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.

Earlier, the authorities of the Belgorod and Oryol regions, as well as the authorities of the Perm region, refused to hold the Victory Parade. The reason for this was the unfavorable epidemiological situation in these regions, and for a similar reason, it was decided to cancel the celebration on the territory of Chelyabinsk - as reported by Interfax-Ural - "due to the growing threat of the spread of coronavirus."

Experts point out that this may indicate a critical situation with the spread of infection, although according to official data, in Russia coronavirus is considered a defeated infection.

Whether other regions of Russia will go for similar measures is unknown.
