I find this image rather interesting. A close up of the medals shows Stalins image engraved on the medals...and some have the sickle and hammer. There are many who would be aghast at marching in the same parade.

In regards to the first image those medals look like Russian army from WW2 so at that time the Russians were our Allies ! and therefore quite welcome to march in the Foreign forces section !

Interesting pic never seen Russians in attendance before

They were only our allies because Hitler took it upon himself to attack them. Before that they had a pact with Hitler to be left alone. Between them, Hitler and Stalin were responsible for the death of well over 20 million poeple.
