And not because on November 7 Russians supported the Bolshevik revolution, but because this generation has an instinct to meet their friends and comrades and celebrate with them this date. Of cause, there's a small group of rabid Bolsheviks in Khabarovsk who had a red flag waving noisily meeting. But even they now are on the commercial capitalist move. North Korean Leader Kim Il Sen. When I mentioned that Old Leninist Guards always offered people free propaganda books, the Bolshevik merchants attacked me and I had to run away for my life.
Social psychology is a pretty conservative thing.
For example, in 20-th Bolshevik Party prohibited celebration of Christmas. But people secretly celebrated Christmas, not because they were religious, but because it was the tradition of fathers and their youth. People gladly returned to the old tradition under a new name. Now Russian society readily accepts Christmas. Russians start celebrations on December 25 and continue until January 14.
