The October Revolution holiday stands out not only because it was widely celebrated throughout the long Soviet decades, but also because a resurgent Russia could not distance itself from it for a long time, and did so carefully, gradually, and for almost a decade and a half. Initially, following political changes in 1991, the two-day holiday in November was halved to one day on November 7. Four years later, this day from a revolutionary holiday became an unforgettable date in honor of the legendary military parade on Red Square in November 1941. So November 7th was declared the day of agreement and reconciliation. It was only in 2005 that the end of the November holiday moved completely from November 7 to November 4 and began to be called National Unity Day. However, that Soviet holiday did not completely disappear from the agenda; The 7th of November is still celebrated today as an unforgettable date, whose guarantor is the former national leader Lenin, who resides in the mausoleum. But there are no unburied people in Russia, so a part of the country still lives, thinks and celebrates as Lenin bequeathed.
