Comments on: Санкт-Петербург, May 1st holiday http://www.bikerussia.com/2007/05/01/%d1%81%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%ba%d1%82-%d0%bf%d0%b5%d1%82%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b1%d1%83%d1%80%d0%b3-may-1st-holiday/ A bicycle ride across Eurasia Thu, 10 May 2007 11:44:35 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.8 By: mev http://www.bikerussia.com/2007/05/01/%d1%81%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%ba%d1%82-%d0%bf%d0%b5%d1%82%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b1%d1%83%d1%80%d0%b3-may-1st-holiday/#comment-480 Mon, 07 May 2007 05:56:14 +0000 http://www.bikerussia.com/2007/05/01/%d1%81%d0%b0%d0%bd%d0%ba%d1%82-%d0%bf%d0%b5%d1%82%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b1%d1%83%d1%80%d0%b3-may-1st-holiday/#comment-480 I certainly didn’t see any references to the Haymarket Riots. About the only reflection on the past (I read in newspaper) were a number of the banners referring to previous Soviet May Day slogans.

In contrast, the upcoming May 9th holiday is all about commemoration. May 9th marks the end of the second world war, 62 years ago. This is still a huge event here (~25 million died, almost as many in Leningrad as US + British combined), and hence many more commemorative references in the upcoming holiday with banners, signs, etc already starting to appear.

Did you see anything that marked the parade as a commemoration rather than a generic excuse to march? It seems that without floats, it would be hard to do.
