Vladimir Putin orders the revival of the Victory Parade with the country's new president, Dmitri Medvedev, taking centre stage.
The tanks have been rolling through Moscow's Red Square in a show of military strength not seen since the collapse of the old Soviet Union.
In his first major public event since taking office, Medvedev told the troops that Russia would not tolerate attempts by countries to meddle in other states' affairs.
