In 2020, for the first time, the parade was held on 24 June in line with the Moscow parade, with President Anatoly Bibilov not being attendance due to commitments in Russia, with the parade being presided instead by Prime Minister Erik Pukhayev. During the parade, an equestrian team from the Border Administration of the Russian Federal Security Service took part in the parade for the first time in history, with the equestrian ranks being led by an officer on a stallion called "Brilliant", a direct descendant of Idol (one of two stallions used in the Moscow Victory Parade of 1945), according to the local authorities. The parade also saw the introduction of female soldiers.
