65-letie dnya pobedy

[William Ryan]

One single Canadian radio station can hardly be seen as indicative of 
Western attitudes. Elena will be pleased to hear that a fairly extensive 
item appeared on the BBC television news, perhaps partly because of the 
novelty that units of the British, French, and American forces took part 
in the parade in Red Square for the first time ever, and the German 
prime minister was one of the guests. The enormous loss of life suffered 
by the peoples of the Soviet Union compared with that of the other 
allies was emphasised. The reporting was quite conspicuously lacking in 
any Cold War animosity. Similar reporting came from CNN and even Fox - 
see their websites.
