November 7th

С юбилеем Великой Октябрьской социалистической революции!

In case you didn't get it - the congratulatory message above is sarcastic. Even though November 7th is no longer an official holiday in Russia or many other former Soviet Republics it is still remembered by the elderly and the few Communists still around. I remembered seeing them celebrating (there were about a dozen people) a few years ago. The whole thing looked sad and depressive (or that could just be how Communist marches are in general.)
