During the period of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, regular Victory Day Parades were held by the Czechoslovak People's Army in Letná. The first parade took place in 1951 and, since, they were held every five years on 9 May up until 1990. The parade also marked the Prague uprising. The last of these parades took place in 1985. "Kde domov můj" and "Nad Tatrou sa blýska" (the Czechoslovakian national anthem) were performed by the massed bands on parade before being followed by the "State Anthem of the Soviet Union". Parades were also held in Bratislava as well.
