What May Day used to look like, in the way-back.
This vid supposedly depicts the annual May Day parade in Moscow's Red Square, circa 1965. The film narrative, however, states the parade is on the 20th anniversary of Hitler's defeat, which occurred in April, 1945. But... the parade IS typical of May Day parades under the communists. As such, the film does take me back. I was a jeep two-striper stationed at Vandenberg AFB in 1965, keeping the radar on the air at Lompoc AFS and keeping America safe from these godless Commies.
This is the sort of imagery I grew up with as a child. Years later... around 1993 or so... I had chills run up and down my spine when I stood in Red Square for the first time. Even though I make light of the situation in the preceding paragraph, these parades are the sorts of thing one never forgets.
