Today is November 7, and it is a very special day in Russia.

Naturally, I came to Red Square today because of the relationship between this day and Red Square.

Even those who don't know much about the holiday on November 7 must know the great "October Revolution"!

The October Revolution Day, also known as World Day of Reconciliation, is celebrated on November 7.

On October 25, 1917 (November 7 in the Gregorian calendar), the Bolshevik armed forces led by Lenin launched a general attack on the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg, the seat of the bourgeois Provisional Government, overthrowing the Provisional Government and establishing Soviet power.

Thus was the birth of the world's first socialist state. This battle is known as the October Revolution.

During the Soviet era, November 7 was a traditional national holiday.

Every year on this day, the Soviet Union holds a grand military parade on Red Square in Moscow to commemorate the October Revolution.

On November 7, 1941, the most historic military parade of the USSR was held on Red Square. Commemoration of the 24th anniversary of the victory of the October Revolution.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the October Revolution Day was no longer officially celebrated in Russia, but it was still a day off.

Since 1996, Russian President Boris Yeltsin has designated November 7 as the "Day of Harmony and Reconciliation".

On 21 June 2005, the Russian Federal Law "Day of Honor and Remembrance of Russian Servicemen" stipulates that from 2005 onwards, 7 November will be celebrated again as the Day of the October Revolution, but for the first time this day will no longer be a day of rest. The law also designates Nov. 7 as "Military Honor Day."

Although the October Revolution Day is no longer celebrated, it is still a day of honor and remembrance for Russian soldiers, and it has indelible historical significance.

The October Revolution completely overthrew the system of exploitation and oppression, was the most profound social revolution in human history, and opened up a new era in human history.

The victory of the October Revolution broke through the world imperialist front, established the first socialist state, and set a realistic example of struggle for the international proletarian revolution. The victory of the October Revolution gave impetus to the liberation struggles of the oppressed nationalities and united the proletarian revolution of the capitalist and imperialist countries with the liberation movements of the colonial and semi-colonial peoples to form an international united front.

The victory of the October Revolution was the product of Lenin's integration of the basic tenets of Marxism with the practice of the Russian revolution and the victory of Marxism-Leninism.

In 1949, he wrote: "The October Revolution brought us Marxism-Leninism with the sound of a cannon. The October Revolution helped the advanced elements of the world, as well as in China, to use the proletarian cosmology as a tool to observe the fate of the country and to reconsider their own problems. Go the way of the Russians - this is the conclusion. “

The October Revolution also put an end to the monopoly of capitalism and laid the foundation for the subsequent establishment of the socialist camp.
