On the ninth of May, Russia celebrates Victory Day, commemorating the Nazi surrender, and so again this year.
Tatiana Kireeva, journalist at Aftonbladet, who grew up in Siberia, sees a shift in President Putin's rhetoric that is used in honor of the day.
"If you watch the parade and listen to Putin's speech, the message is: now we are going to defeat an enemy, and the enemy is the collective West. While the message before was: we will never let the war happen again, says Tatiana Kireeva in SVT Kulturnyheterna.
Russian-born journalist: "Propaganda"
This year's celebration was, according to Western media, more toned down than in previous years.
"If you look at the parade itself, it's slim. The air show they usually have every year did not exist this year, she says to SVT and continues:
"But as a TV production, it was really nicely filmed. If you watched television, it was really a show you were watching. It looks nice, and that's propaganda: that's how it's supposed to look.
