The 2002 Moscow Victory Day Parade was a military parade held in Red Square, on May 9, 2002, commemorating the 57th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War. At 10:00AM, Commander of the Moscow Military District, Colonel-General Ivan Yefremov ordered the start of the parade. It started with troops carrying the Victory Banner across the square. Yefremov and Minister of Defense Sergei Ivanov then inspected the troops and congratulated them on the anniversary.
Parade formation
After president Vladimir Putin's speech and the National Anthem, the troops marched past. Following tradition, the parade was opened by corps of drums from the Moscow Military Music College. They were followed by standard-bearers carrying the State Flag of Russia, the Victory Banner and the Banner of the Armed Forces. Succeeding them were columns of cadets from higher military schools of Russia, veterans of military actions in Afghanistan and Chechnya, and participants in operations in the Balkans and the Caucasus.[1]

The music was performed by about 550 musicians from the Military Band Service of the Armed Forces of Russia, led by Lieutenant-General Viktor Afanasyev.[2]
