A public holiday of Soviet Russia and the former USSR, in the last years of its existence it was celebrated for two days. It is one of the memorable days of Russia. After the collapse of the USSR, most of its former republics, which became independent states, refused to celebrate the anniversary of the October Revolution. November 7 is a day off in Belarus and Transnistria. In Kyrgyzstan, November 7 and 8 are days off, but the meaning of the holiday has been changed. Celebrated since 1918. On this day, workers' demonstrations and military parades were held on Red Square in Moscow, as well as in regional and territorial centers of the USSR. On October 26, 1927, the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR decreed that "The anniversary of the October Revolution shall be celebrated annually, starting in 1927, over two days - November 7 and 8. Work on these holidays is prohibited throughout the territory of the USSR." Various major achievements were dedicated to the anniversaries of the October Revolution in the USSR, for example, the voyage of the icebreaker "Arktika" to the North Pole in 1977 (for the 60th anniversary of October). The last military parade on Moscow's Red Square to mark the anniversary of the October Revolution took place in 1990. Before the start of the celebrations, USSR President M. S. Gorbachev delivered a speech from the Mausoleum rostrum related to the signing of the new Union Treaty. During the beginning of the demonstration, the leaders of the Communist Party and the Soviet state marched at the head of the columns in front. The live broadcast was conducted by Elena Kovalenko, Leonid Elin and Evgeny Suslov. Currently, in many populated areas of the post-Soviet space, including in Russia, on this day there are rallies dedicated to the events of the October Revolution.
