Rehearsal for the Victory Parade on May 3, 2017 in Moscow: Street closures during the parade


About 20 streets of Moscow will be blocked on Thursday, April 27, in connection with the rehearsal of the parade in honor of Victory Day, the press service of the capital’s traffic police reports.

The movement of any transport (including public) will be blocked along the streets of Nizhniye Mnevniki, Narodnogo Opolcheniya, Mnevniki, Zvenigorodskoye Highway, Krasnaya Presnya, Barrikadnaya, Sadovaya-Kudrinskaya, Bolshaya Sadovaya Street, Triumfalnaya Square, Tverskaya Street, Red Square, Kremlin Embankment, Borovitskaya square, on the Bolshoi Moskvoretsky and Bolshoi Kamenny bridges, along Bolotnaya Street and Bolotnaya Square, on Mokhovaya Street, Vozdvizhenka, Novy Arbat and Novinsky Boulevard.

Traffic restrictions will begin at 17:00 and continue until the end of the events. The restrictions will be in effect on the days of the next parade rehearsals on May 3 from 17:00, on May 7 and on the day of the parade on May 9 - from 05:00 in the morning.

Rehearsal of the Victory Parade on May 3, 2017 in Moscow: Where is the best place for pedestrians to watch

A calmer and more correct option is to look at the tanks, armored personnel carriers and Iskanders on the streets of Moscow during evening training or the morning dress rehearsal.

For example, on the section of Tverskaya street between Pushkinskaya metro station and Okhotny Ryad metro station in the evening, starting from 18-45 - approximately at this time the column lines up along Tverskaya, and you can observe the equipment in motion. The vehicles will be stationary until 22-35, and then will move to Red Square - this is a second chance to see how they drive combat vehicles.

Do not stand near the metro exits - walk at least 200 meters along the street so as not to jostle in the crowd.

Our regular reader Alexey Mitrofanov shared his view on where it is better to watch the parade:

“We were at the dress rehearsal yesterday. First, we watched the movement of equipment at the intersection of the Boulevard Ring with Tverskaya Street (from the side of Pushkinskaya Square inside the ring), and then we walked along the ring to the Bolshoi Ustinsky Bridge.

There were a lot of people on the outer and inner sides of the ring, but in the middle it was very free and you could choose a place to view equipment.

I can only confirm: the Bolshoi Ustinsky Bridge is the best place to view pedestrian columns after the Spasskaya Tower. And for aviation, I think this is the best point, since the entire fleet is flying at you, and above you the helicopters go to the left, and the planes go to the right.

Since we were walking along the ring with two children, we almost missed the movement of foot columns to Red Square. If we had gone by car (the ring from Terskaya to the Bolshoi Ustinsky Bridge was free from both traffic police officers and vehicles), we would also have seen the formation of foot columns. This will not work for the parade itself, since according to the cordon employees (officers) all Tverskaya will be “cleared” of people and observation from it will be impossible. I don’t know about the bridge, but at the exit of pedestrian columns it is blocked for vehicles and all lanes are available for pedestrian traffic. Naturally, you won’t be able to see the pedestrian columns from the roadway, but the aviation will be in all its glory!”

At the Dress Rehearsal on May 7, in terms of time and movements, everything will be exactly the same as on Victory Day.

Rehearsal of the Victory Parade on May 3, 2017 in Moscow: Where is the best place to watch by car (photo/map)

There is just one ideal place to watch the Victory Parade rehearsal in your car! This is the street. Nizhnye Mnevniki opposite the Tatneft gas station. BUT! If it’s difficult to guess when it comes to the departure of armored vehicles to the parade site, then everything is quite accurate when it comes to the return time. And so: come to " observation deck“It’s best no later than 23:30. It is at 23:30 that Nizhniye Mnevniki Street is completely blocked in both directions and it will no longer be possible to get to the observation point. The procession of the armored vehicle column itself will begin at 23:50-00:00.

Portal ETOLIK draws Special attention that they will open traffic on the street. Nizhniye Mnevniki ONLY after, following the column of armored vehicles, a “harvesting and watering regiment” passes, which is closed by a decrepit tractor with a tank of, you won’t believe it, water). But seriously (we weren’t joking before either), it will be possible to leave no earlier than 1:10 am. But believe me, it's worth it! Just imagine, you are sitting in your car, and military equipment is passing by at a distance of 10 meters from your infernal chariot! See the video of how it was (and will be) at the very bottom of the article.

Unfortunately, it will not be possible to see the entire walking part. Both during rehearsals and on Victory Day, foot columns usually approach Red Square in several ways: from Kotelnicheskaya Embankment, along Varvarka and along Ilyinka. The streets and alleys closest to them will be blocked, but perhaps something can be seen from the Bolshoi Ustinsky Bridge.

From afar, across the Moscow River, the parade units on Vasilievsky Spusk are visible from Sofiyskaya Embankment, unless it is blocked. It is better to take a seat early, as there are usually a lot of people interested. The Kremlin embankment, Bolshoi Moskvoretsky and Bolshoi Kamenny bridges will be closed.

With this coming significant date, many residents and guests of the capital want to know when and where rehearsals will take place and from what point is it best to watch the passage Russian troops and an aviation parade? In order to get an answer to these questions, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the information below.

Where and when will the parade rehearsal take place?

According to the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense, rehearsals for military personnel will take place at the parade ground in Albino, Moscow Region. Currently, the exact rehearsal schedule has not yet been announced, however, preliminary dates for preparatory activities are already known.

Evening training of military columns and equipment will be disciplined at a special site on the street. Nizhniye Mnevniki, 45 at 18:00, and the dress rehearsal with the participation of tanks and armored personnel carriers will take place at 06:00 Moscow time.

Streets along which military equipment and pedestrian crews will proceed will be blocked starting at 16:00. May 7-9 - from 05:00. In addition, it is possible that traffic will be blocked on the streets and alleys adjacent to Nizhny Mnevniki.

Last year the rehearsal dates were as follows:

  • 03/28/2016, 22:00 - preparation of equipment and training of foot parade crews.
  • 04/05/2016, 11:00 - aviation preparations for the parade.
  • 03/05/2017, 22:00 - second rehearsal of the parade of foot crews and equipment.
  • 04/07/2017, 10:00 - last dress rehearsal with the participation of all units of the Russian troops, including heavy military equipment and aviation.

During the rehearsal, the Teatralnaya, Okhotny Ryad, Borovitskaya, Alexandrovsky Sad, Revolution Square, and Lenin Library metro stations will operate in entry and transfer modes. During the passage of heavy combat vehicles along a given route, entry will be limited at the Pushkinskaya, Tverskaya, Mayakovskaya, Chekhovskaya, Kitay Gorod and Lubyanka stations. It is also worth considering that underground passages will also be blocked.

How to get to the parade in Moscow?

On the eve of the great holiday, this question is one of the most pressing. Unfortunately, not every Russian will be able to witness the parade on Red Square. It will be possible to be among the spectators only if you have a personal invitation, which will be awarded to WWII veterans, high-ranking military personnel, civil servants and media representatives. If you don’t have an invitation card, you can watch the procession of military columns and the aviation program on the streets of the capital during rehearsals, or on the day of the parade (before or after they pass through Red Square).

Where can I look at military equipment?

In order to see armored personnel carriers, tanks, Iskanders and other heavy equipment in all their glory, you need to familiarize yourself in advance with the schedule and route of their passage through the streets of Moscow during morning or evening training. For example, you will be able to observe the movement of troops and equipment in the Tverskaya section - Pushkinskaya and Okhotny Ryad metro stations. This is where the evening parade rehearsal will take place. The approximate time training starts at 18:45 Moscow time. Until 22:45, heavy combat vehicles will stand along Tverskaya Street, and then move towards Red Square.

The dress rehearsal for the parade on May 7, 2017 is another good chance to see the march of troops exactly in the sequence in which it will take place on the main square of the country on Victory Day.

To look at tanks and armored personnel carriers on May 9, you need to take a place in advance on one of the sections of the route along which columns of troops will move:

  • st. Tverskaya;
  • from pl. Pushkinskaya to Manezhnaya Square;
  • Kremlin embankment.

It is worth recalling that on Victory Day a huge number of people will gather in the listed areas and closer to the center, so it is recommended to take a good place for viewing in advance, preferably several hours before the start of the movement of military equipment. It is also necessary to take into account that the view may be obstructed by fencing, reserve types of equipment, watering and harvesting machines that will be driven to the designated areas to carry out the relevant work after the end of the parade.

Where can I watch the aviation program?

Unlike ground equipment, aviation will be visible in many places in the capital. Combat helicopters and aircraft will fly closer to the end of the parade program on Red Square. The most advantageous areas for viewing aviation are Leningradsky Prospekt, Tverskaya Street and Raushskaya Embankment (on the odd-numbered side of the streets).

During rehearsals, Raushskaya embankment is not closed. It is still unknown whether this section will be closed on May 9th. The aviation flight path will not pass strictly over Red Square, but a little to the side: over GUM. Thus, the spectators present at the parade will have a more favorable viewing angle.

Where to watch the procession of ground troops?

Unfortunately, it is impossible to watch the entire walking part of the program. As a rule, military columns pass towards Red Square in several ways:

  • along Kotelnikov Street;
  • according to Varvarka;
  • according to Ilyinka.

The adjacent lanes and streets will be blocked, however, a small view will be open from the Bolshoi Ustinsky Bridge.

The parade units will be partially visible on Vasilyevsky Spusk and Sofievskaya Embankment. The Bolshoi Moskvoretsky, Bolshoi Kamenny bridges, as well as the Kremlin embankment will be closed.

The first rehearsals for the Victory Parade on Red Square, dedicated to the 72nd anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War, have begun in Moscow. Due to preparations for the holiday, a number of streets in the center of the capital will be inaccessible to motorists during rehearsals and the parade itself.
