Don’t forget that the official date of “Red October” is November 7th. The reason that it is called Red October, the beginning of the Communist revolution against the Russian government.

The reason why it is October, instead of November, is that Russians were still using the old Gregorian calendar which didn’t take leap years into account.

We’re still using the Gregorian calendar—400 years young!

The Russians were using the old Julian calendar—which is still the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
