False WWII Veterans at V-Day Parade
A WWII veteran made her way from a colonel to a major general in a year.
Russian Internet segment is discussing the photos shot during the Victory Day parade in Moscow. As it turns out, senior Moscow citizens are given uniform with random decorations.
Thus, a woman on the photo veteran made her way from a colonel to a major general in a year. Furthermore, she became the Hero of Socialist Labor in spite of the fact that this award was given until 1991.
The senior man on the photo previously was a petty officer, but at this year’s parade he was already a post captain.
Most real WWII veterans are over 85 years old. However, during WWII commemoration parades we may see some “younger” veterans who are, probably, law enforcement agencies veterans.
