Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated November 8,1953: Anniversary of Russian Revolution

Units of the Soviet armed forces led by boy drummers and cadets marched past Soviet leaders in Moscow's Red Square on the 7th marking the 36th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution which brought Communism to power in Russia. Jet fighters and bombers roared overhead as thousands cheered the marching troops. Soviet Defence Minister Marshal Nikolai Bulganin said in his keynote address that, as America was extending her bases in the world, Russia had to feel concerned. He disclosed that, in autumn manoeuvres, Russian troops had tested their skill in combat and in the use of up-to-date weapons. The Soviet Union had striven to settle international differences and made necessary peace proposals to the West, but the West had replied with impracticable conditions. The Soviet people continued to advance from success to success under the leadership of the Communist Government and the Party and they would continue to advance Communism under the banner of Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin. "Our cause is invincible," Marshal Bulganin declared.
