俄罗斯阅兵："胜利日"无坦克，显示乌克兰战争进展未如计划 - BBC News 中文
这一刻红场上最醒目的只有一个词："胜利"。 用俄语写的"Pobeda"从巨大的红色横幅上俯视而下，在大萤幕上闪烁。附近，人们在拼出这个词的艺术装置旁自拍。 广场被金属围栏封锁，士兵们正在为一年一度的"胜利日"（Victory Day）阅兵排练，这场阅兵是为纪念击败纳粹德国的日子。 在普京主政下构建的俄罗斯国家理念，核心围绕着苏联在第二次世界大战中的胜利。5月9日成为俄罗斯最重要的国家节日。 然而今年的5月9日，阅兵规模将缩减。近二十年来的第一次，红场将不展示任何军事装备：没有坦克、没有弹道导弹，只有士兵。 克里姆林宫如何纪念过去，也反映着当下现实：这显示俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争并未按计划推进。 "我们的坦克现在很忙，"俄罗斯国会议员叶夫根尼·波波夫（Yevgeny Popov）对我说，"它们正在作战。我们更需要它们在战场上，而不是在红场。" "但这场战争已经进入第五年了，"我说，"俄罗斯不仅没有取得胜利，还因为压力而缩减阅兵。有些人会认为这很尴尬。" 波波夫回答说："我们还有什么选择？北约国家、乌克兰和英国的武器，你们的国王和首相，都在威胁我们。" 2022年2月，俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰，是普京总统的决定。 四年多过去，克里姆林宫选择继续战争，同时指责西方助长冲突。 但战火已逐渐逼近俄罗斯本土。 周二（5月5日），一次乌克兰长程导弹和无人机攻击击中俄罗斯切博克萨雷市，造成2人死亡、30多人受伤。前一晚，一架无人机突破莫斯科防空系统，击中距离克里姆林宫约4英里（6公里）的一栋高档公寓，虽然无人伤亡，但高楼上层严重受损。 乌克兰无人机可能飞入红场的威胁，也成为今年缩减阅兵的理由。普京的发言人佩斯科夫（Dmitry Peskov）提及来自乌克兰的"恐怖主义威胁"。俄罗斯国防部则威胁，若莫斯科在5月9日遭攻击，将对基辅市中心发动"报复性、大规模导弹打击"。 在红场旁的小街上，我询问民众对于没有坦克的看法。 "确实有安全问题，"谢尔盖说，"但展示军备能向世界展现我们的实力，也许还是应该展示一些。" 尤莉亚说："展示武器可能很危险，我理解。但另一方面，这也意味着我们害怕某些事情，这也不好。" 弗拉基米尔则认为："阅兵本来就是象征。如果情况不允许完整举行，那只能等明年。" 缩小规模的阅兵，本身也是一种象征：一个在超过四年战争后仍未取得胜利的国家。今年1月，这场冲突达到一个重要里程碑：俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争时间，已经超过苏联对抗纳粹德国的"伟大卫国战争"（1941-1945）。 这是否会对普京造成后果？ 最近的民调 -- -- 包括国营机构进行的 -- -- 显示，他的国内支持率正在下降。 去年年底，克里姆林宫领导人曾多次穿着军装出现在电视上，信心十足地与将领讨论战事。但今年，我们看到"总司令"普京的次数明显减少。 从与俄罗斯人的交谈中，我感受到对乌战争的疲惫感正在增加，人们对生活成本的担忧上升，对近期政府加强网络限制的措施也产生强烈不满。 俄罗斯当局警告，胜利日期间莫斯科将限制移动网路，声称是出于安全考量。 官员表示，近期在多个城市实施的断网措施，是为防范乌克兰无人机攻击及破坏行动。但这些措施在全国普遍不受欢迎。 然而当局似乎并不在意。 波波夫告诉我："恕我直言，我们如何管理网络并不关你们的事。没网络总比让乌克兰导弹或无人机杀死要好。" 在莫斯科附近的鲁布廖沃村（Rublyovo），学生们聚集在当地的二战纪念碑前，献上红色康乃馨，悼念在卫国战争中牺牲的村民。 红场阅兵可能缩小规模，但全国仍有纪念活动，悼念2700万在战争中牺牲的苏联国民。 纪念碑旁站着两名戴着口罩、穿着军装并佩戴勋章的男子。他们曾参与克里姆林宫所称的"特别军事行动"，即俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争。 我和其中一人有过交谈，他将这场战争比作伟大卫国战争。我指出一个关键差异：1941年是纳粹德国入侵俄罗斯；而2022年，是俄罗斯入侵乌克兰。 "俄罗斯是胜利者的国家，"他回应，"过去如此，未来也一样。" 然而，经过四年多的战争，"胜利"依然未有降临在他的国家。.
