It's an encouraging gesture, but diplomats will be watching to see how hard Putin claps as the foreigners march past him.

Re: British troops will march on the Red square in Moscow so
September 2009,
REME Pipes & Drums of 102 Battalion spent over a week in uniform in Moscow, including marching up and down (or at least blowing their own trumpets in) Red Square AND a guided tour of normally off limits areas of Kremlin Palace.
Despite a couple of hic-ups band member stated "It was easily one of the best tours of our careers thanks to our generous hosts who did everything in their power to look after us and keep us entertained"

Re: British troops will march on the Red square in Moscow soon
As a Russophile I find the Napoleon reference a little below the belt.
Napoleon wasnt French he was Corsican which is like saying Welsh are English people. Close but no cigar. That said he got well stuffed at Waterloo by an Irishman, (Wellington didnt have piles which may have been a crucial difference) so its evens on that score.First they came for the Communists but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Socialists and the Trade Unionists but I was not one of them, so I did not speak out. Then they came for the Jews but I was not Jewish so I did not speak out. And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.

I'm speaking out before they come for me.
