Russian servicemen, dressed in World War II uniforms, take part in rehearsal for a military parade in Moscow's Red Square, with St. Basil's Cathedral seen in the background, on Nov. 5, 2012. The parade will be held on November 7 to mark the anniversary of a parade in 1941 during World War II when Soviet soldiers marched through Red Square towards the front lines.
