Russia Reenacts WWII March After Putin Defends Nazi Pact

Russian troops marched in Red Square to commemorate a World War II parade held under the noses of German invaders in 1941 two days after President Vladimir Putin defended a 1939 non-aggression pact with Hitler.

Six thousand soldiers and cadets accompanied by World War II-era warplanes and other weaponry today re-enacted the parade that Soviet dictator Josef Stalin presided over.
