thumb|right|300px|2021 Moscow Victory Day Parade. [[Military parades and Soviet military symbolism play an important role in the Victory Day celebrations across Russia.]] Pobedobesie () is a pejorative term used to describe the perceivably jingoistic celebrations of Victory Day in Russia. This has been also dubbed the Victory Cult.
The term has been further extended to refer to the weaponization of the legacy of the Second World War to justify Russia's aggressive policies and an increase of militarism, using the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany for propaganda purposes.
