Vladimir Putin has converted the annual May 9 Victory Day celebrations into his great ideological pillar, but that symbolism has now become an inconvenience for the Kremlin against the backdrop of battlefield reverses in its invasion of Ukraine.The Soviet Union, which sacrificed nearly 27 million lives during the Nazi onslaught in World War II and eventually cornered Adolf Hitler in Berlin, forcing him to kill himself, held only four parades in Red Square to mark the defeat of the Third Reich throughout in its entire history in 1945, 1965, 1985 and 1990.
