Moscow will spend up to 4 million rubles ($79,000) replacing the paving of a pedestrian square in front of the Kremlin that was chewed up by tank treads during a military parade marking 70 years since the end of World War II, a city website said Tuesday.
Manezh Square, a pedestrian thoroughfare that runs along the Kremlin's walls before turning into Red Square, saw 194 military vehicles, including the heavy Armata T-14 battle tank, roll over it multiple times during the Victory Day parade and its rehearsals.
This year's pageant in Moscow was the largest in recent history and was boycotted by Western leaders who accuse Russia of military aggression against Ukraine.
Moscow's municipal Budgetary Office published a tender for the repair job on Tuesday. The city will take applications from small businesses until May 29, with a final winner announced on June 1, according to the document. The maximum price for the tender was 3.96 million rubles.
