The two blokes who had the pleasure of sitting next Russian President Vladimir Putin during this week's Victory Day parade in Moscow were not World War Two veterans, it can be revealed.<\/p>\n

The slightly toned-down annual show of weaponry muscle took place inside Moscow's Red Square.<\/p>\n

It featured one tank, thousands of soldiers and a giant missile being paraded around during the event held to celebrate how Russia claims it won the Second World War. <\/p>\n

And surrounding Putin was supposed to be veterans of that time \u2013 however it has now emerged that two of those sitting next to the despot were actually former Russia spies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to Anengtstvo, one of those was 98-year-old Yury Dvoikin, who was a volunteer in 1942 but never fought in the war.<\/p>\n

He was sitting next to Putin on the right hand side.<\/p>\n

Two years after he volunteered for the war he had no involvement in, Dvoikin was sent to sniper school, before being shipped out to Lviv where he was an agent for the NKVD \u2013 a Soviet spy organisation fronted by the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs.<\/p>\n
