FÊTE DU PRINTEMPS ET DU TRAVAIL

Formerly marked by official demonstrations and parades, it almost did not survive the death of the USSR, but finally remained a public holiday and has recently been revived. The Russian president himself is usually present in the official procession. It is, of course, a very important day for communist activists in Russia, exalting the legacy of the workers revolutionaries of the early 20th century. Expect a tide of hammer and sickle flags!
