The Red Square Parade on November 7, 1941 was a military parade in honor of the 24th anniversary of the October Revolution, held on Red Square in Moscow during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). The event was prepared in the strictest secrecy under the name "Operation of the Moscow Garrison troops" and was held in the midst of the Battle for Moscow (September 30, 1941 — April 20, 1942), when the front line was only a few dozen kilometers from the Soviet capital. The parade had great historical significance, showing the high firmness of the spirit of the soldiers and commanders of the Red Army and inspiring thousands of young people from all over the Soviet Union to enlist as volunteers. Simultaneously with the Moscow parade, solemn military processions took place on this day in the cities of Kuibyshev and Voronezh. According to the plan of the Soviet military command, in the event of the cancellation of the Moscow parade, the military parade in Kuibyshev under the command of Lieutenant General Maxim Purkaev with the participation of Marshal of the Soviet Union Kliment Voroshilov was to become the main one and broadcast on the All-Union Radio. The Voronezh parade began at 11 a.m. on the square of the XX anniversary of October, it was commanded by Lieutenant General Fyodor Kostenko, and hosted by Marshal of the Soviet Union Semyon Timoshenko. Every year on November 7, since 2005, in honor of the day of the military parade on November 7, 1941 on Red Square, the day of military glory of Russia is celebrated.
