The 89-th anniversary of the Revolution
November 7th or October 25th (old style) is the 89th anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia.
In 1917 Bolsheviks led by Vladimir Lenin (Ulianov) have overthrown the interim government and established a first ever Socialist State on the territory of the Russian Empire.
One of the darkest ages in the history of Russia had begun.

- The cannon of the Aurora cruiser. One blank shot caused 70 years of ruin.

The idea itself was good. Unfortunately, it did not work in the real world.[/b]

That idea worked for over 70 years. The results were poor, though.

Это не очень долгое время. Советский Союз всегда казался неразрушимым, но на самом деле почти все мог бы пережить его.

Could you rephrase that. I don't quite understand what did you mean.

Не думаю, что это была победа чьей-то идеи. Просто упала старая никчёмная власть. А потом новая власть заявила, что всё так и было задумано.

It did work, and it worked quite good.
