The Belgrade Military Parade, known as Korak pobednika ("Step/March of the Victor"), was a military parade on Nikola Tesla Boulevard on 16 October 2014, during the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Belgrade. The city was liberated from the hands of the Nazis by the Yugoslav Partisans with the help of the Red Army during the Belgrade Offensive on 20 October 1944. It was the first military parade in the country for 30 years, and included 4,500 Serbian troops, as well as a minor number of Russian troops and the Russian aerobatic team, Swifts. President Tomislav Nikolić and Prime Minister Aleksandar Vučić attended the parade, with Russian President Vladimir Putin attending as the guest of honour.{{cite news|title=Putin guest of honour at Serbia military parade|publisher=BBC|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-29641642}} Participants in the parade were given awards for their participation, in December at Topčider.{{cite web|url=http://www.blic.rs/Vesti/Drustvo/520542/Nagradjeni-ucesnici-vojne-parade-Korak-pobednika|title=Nagrađeni učesnici vojne parade Korak pobednika|date=26 November 2015 }}
