In St. Petersburg (Leningrad), communists from various parties and groups organized a small rally at Lenin square in order to pay homage to the Revolution's architect and founder of the Soviet Union. However, police forces which arrived at the spot proceeded arbitrarily to the arrest of Rot Front's Secretary Viktor Tyulkin. After a few hours of detention at the police station Tyulkin was released.
It is reminded that the anniversary of the October Revolution, the most significant event of the 20th century, was used to be a national holiday in Russia until the mid-2000s when Vladimir Putin's government decided to abolish its celebration.
