One may ask what's the bigger loss of face ?
1) The miniscule parade without military hardware (not even the Armata paper tigers)

There is also the fact that Zelensky's permission for Russia to hold the parade will have angered a lot of Russians.

The Internet is working in Russia. Many restrictions and mobile shutdowns as recently in Moscow during that parade, but people use VPNs. At least until VPN is not banned completely.Iran has shut down the interwebs and we still get visits from Artesh.
