I read on Chinese-language news services that the Russian people fronged onto the Moscow streets in their thousands to celebrate the ‘1941’ March-Past of the Soviet Red Army – which ‘Paraded’ past the Central Committee and straight onto the battlefield! On June 22nd, 1941, Nazi Germany (an its Catholic allies) launched a devastating ‘scorched earth’ invasion of the Western USSR – determined to wipe-out the Slavic-race and eliminate the Socialist ideology from the planet! Stalin also mentions that the only ally the Soviet union had at the time is the ‘United Kingdom’ – a small island situated just of off Western Europe! Stalin points-out that if such a small island (and its people) can hold-out this long with NO allies (nearly two-years) – then so can the Soviet Union if the people follow this example of collective resistance! Most of the men and women you see here – marched straight to their deaths – and they did this so that you and me could live freely without the fear of fascism!
The Great October Socialist Revolution occured on October 25th, 1917 according to the old Julian Calendar. In the new Gregorian Calendar (which ALL Marxist-Leninist countries adopt as a ‘secular’ and ‘interational’ calenfar despite its religious origins) – this falls on November 7th for all subsequent years of commemoration! Below are photographs from the Russian Commenoration (2023) as issued by Xinhua:
