In two weeks it is again May Day, the 1st of May, and the May Day parade as it was in 2017, the time just passes so quickly, last year I posted photos of my town’s parade, it is always a Socialist parade, although May Day is celebrated by all kinds of people such as university students.
I remember May Day of 1987, I had been in Moscow just 1.5 months earlier and had got the Soviet flag that I had put on my wall in the place where I lived at the time. Then this May Day came and some other students served some alcohol drinks and I passed out. When I woke up the flag was gone, these other students had taken it and gone to the parade with the flag. I never saw this flag after that May Day.
