Trotsky, the Bolshevik Revolution & me

Today is the 142nd birthday of Leon Trotsky and the 104th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution (aka as the October Revolution due to the Russian Gregorian calendar). 

A great music video from my misspent youth.

By coincidence it is also my birthday. Many thanks to all the kind comments on Facebook. 

Happy 101st Birthday Bolshevik Revolution

Today is the 101st anniversary of the Russian Bolshevik Revolution. Who knew? and it is Trotsky's birthday as well. Today I attended a Newham Council Audit meeting and 3 people present out of 15 or so also had their birthdays today. Spooky or what?

Hat tip Red Army Choir. 

Russian Revolution Birthday

Today is the 98th anniversary of the Russian (also known confusingly as the October or Bolshevik) Revolution. The 7th November is also the birthday of my unlikely Scorpio twin :)

Happy Birthday Bolshevik Revolution, Trotsky & Grayee...

November 7th is the 97th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution and the 135th birthday of Lev Davidovich Bronshtein.

I will of course be celebrating tonight both events (and one other) with good UNISON trade union comrades in a Peoples Republic of Newham public bar(s) and restaurant :)

95th Anniversary of the Russian Revolution (and a 133rd & 50th Birthday!)

The 7 November is the 95th anniversary of the October (or Bolshevik) Revolution (and some unlikely Birthday Twins) :)

94th Anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution

Today is the 94th anniversity of the Bolshevik (aka October) Revolution; the 132nd Birthday of a certain Lev Davidovich Bronstein (and some other bloke's birthday).

I thought I would mark the occasion with the Red Army Choir - The song about the 27th division. "The song describes history of the 27th division from Civil war to the end of the Great patriotic war.
