SVT's Russia correspondent Bert Sundström is in the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, which lies between Poland and Lithuania on the shores of the Baltic Sea.
Here, too, rehearsals are underway ahead of Victory Day on Sunday.
In addition to Moscow, parades are held in several other Russian cities.
- We wanted to see how the preparations go here, there were quite a few who watched the rehearsals and tomorrow there will probably be many more, says Bert Sundström.
Bantat celebration
This year's celebration of Victory Day has been reduced by more than a third of the normal, in the light of Russia's war in Ukraine, writes TT.
Only 131 ground combat vehicles participate, for example, compared to last year when Russia sent 198 ground combat vehicles to the celebration.
The number of combat helicopters has also been greatly decimated, and the most modern Russian combat planes are completely missing from the parade this year due to large losses in the field.
For the past two or three years, we have hardly done anything about Victory Day, it is the same thing every year.
But now a war is going on and there is pressure on the Kremlin to announce a partial victory, that everything is going according to plan.
It would be surprising if nothing like that comes, says Bert Sundström.
