Just google for pictures (videos) of parades in both countries and you'll see.

You do know that German officers were mostly responsible for training Russian army since Peter the Great, so it is quite normal for Russian and German military traditions to be similar.

As for similarity in uniforms, that's a laugh.

I don't mean military parades only. Demostrations were also designed according to similar patterns.

Google those of pioneers and Hitlerjugend.

What?

Short trousers and a shirt? Common "dressy" youth clothing at the time.

You're reeeeeeally pushing it now.

Well, I have to admit that in both case trousers have 2 legs, and shirts two arms.
Then, of course, parades look really similar, as the one in USA, Vietnam, and all others countries having an army.

But you forgot one very important thing - Soviets drank water. Nazis also drank water...

A follow up on the topic - posters of two countries in question:

[Crandar]

Flashing news!

Uniforms and propaganda posters from the same time look similar! Soviet and German cars, too! Even, the toothpastes! Just look at these suspicious little devilish cylinders!

Not to mention that both their leaders had a mustache. Coincidence? I think not.

I have others but I won't bother to put in parallel...

It is the parallel that matters. The messages of the posters are indeed universal, but I was pointing to the DESIGN similarities (including Stalin giving a nazi salute) which testifies to the readiness of the two regimes to draw upon each other's experience and techniques.

You're making a good case for immigration, because it clearly shows that, in the end, we humans are all the same.

"It is the parallel that matters. " You means that all propaganda or representation will show the same things!!!!
"(including Stalin giving a nazi salute)" more, more, this is making my day...
