November 7, 1917 - Russian Bolsheviks overthrew
the provisional government of Alexander Kerensky in
Petrograd. The Council of People's Commissars was
then established as the new government of Russia,
with Nikolai Lenin as chairman, Leon Trotsky as foreign
commissar and Josef Stalin as commissar of nationalities.
This event was celebrated each year in the former USSR
with parades, massive military displays and public
appearances by top Soviet leaders.

ReplyDeleteEvery head of state is a target to assassination.
ReplyDeleteI think Lenin's first name is Vladimir not Nicolai. He was a great historical figure. When I visited the mausoleum in Moscow, I saluted twice: once in front of the building, and the second time in front of the glass cage containing his embalmed corpse. The russians constantly make plans to burry him, but millions of people from all over the world keep coming to pay their respect to what remained from him, and the decision gets postponed again and again.
And we thought November only had election day and Thanksgiving. :)
