Idol was a gray horse that lived during the Soviet era and the Second World War, which was notable for being the horse in which Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Zhukov presided over the Moscow Victory Parade of 1945 on Red Square, the first of its kind in Russian military history.

The 1945 Moscow Victory Parade, also known as the Parade of Victors, was a victory parade held by the Soviet Armed Forces after the defeat of Nazi Germany. This, the longest and largest military parade ever held on Red Square in the Soviet capital Moscow, involved 40,000 Red Army soldiers and 1,850 military vehicles and other military hardware. The parade lasted just over two hours on a rainy June 24, 1945, over a month after May 9, the day of Germany's surrender to Soviet commanders.
