Wasn’t the Communist uprising on October?
Yeah, but we're in a different time zone.
The Communist revolution in Russia was Nov. 4th.
Several of my friends were there covering it for newspapers.
True story. The anti-communist social-democrat labor leader, the late Marx Lewis (yes his father named him after Karl Marx), once asked a group of us to ask him when he became an anti-communist. His reply was Nov. 4, 1917, and he wasn’t kidding
The Pulitzer Prize winning writer Isaac Don Levine was also in Russia back then and wrote about it. He was a lifelong anti-communist and was the man who took admitted Soviet spy Whitaker Chambers to the White House to see A.A. Abele in a quest to warn FDR about Soviet penetration there.
They are trying to celebrate and mark the 100th anniversary of the Communist revolution in Russia. That seems to be a big deal to them.
The Russian Empire used a lunar calendar. Their October was everyone else's November, until after the Revolution, they changed too.
