Tens of thousands of granite-faced soldiers marched in lockstep across Red Square Monday in Russia’s annual Victory Day display of military might, while President Dmitry Medvedev said the country is committed to peace and global stability. The parade, marking the surrender of Nazi Germany in World War II, is the centerpiece of Russia’s most solemn secular holiday, both commemorating the Soviet Union’s enormous sacrifices in the war and asserting the potency of its modern military.
