Russian TV strangely ignores 100 year anniversary of the Revolution - Like This Article

In the news segment on Russia's state television, "Channel 1",  the Red Square parade in honor of the heroic events of November 7, 1941 was broadcast.

Shamefully, the 100th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution was disregarded, thus demonstrating a vivid example, of what can only be assumed, as the policy of amputating history in preference of the electoral cycle.  Russians will go to the polls in less than four month's time to vote for their preferred parties and president. 

A social media user writes, "Really, is our Russia really a colony country now that does not have rights to its great history! Let me congratulate you with the 100th anniversary of the birth of the first socialist state, comrades!"

Another responded, "I, too, was born and grew up in the USSR. Now I know life in other countries - I have not seen one better than my Motherland [then.] "


Meanwhile, Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China has been adorned with posters of the great Socialist leaders of the USSR. The Revolution plays in important role in China's state ideology - and they're not afraid to showcase it.
