May Day International Labor Day is a festival of working people all over the world and a grand festival of the Soviet Union. Every year on Labor Day, grand ceremonies are held everywhere in the Soviet Union.
On May 1, 1958, a May Day parade was also held in the northern Soviet city of Murmansk. Walking in front of the procession, children hold up large may Day signs, and a huge portrait of Lenin hangs upstairs.
Soviet children dressed in national costumes, dressed in costumes, have a festive atmosphere.
In July 1889, at the First Congress of the Second International, held in Paris, France, a resolution was adopted on the annual demonstrations. In commemoration of the victory of American workers in the Eight-Hour Work Force by means of the General League strike on May 1, 1886, the Congress declared May 1 international Labor Day. Since then, Labor Day has become a holiday for working people all over the world.
Murmansk is located on the coast of the Arctic Ocean, although located at 69 ° north latitude, due to the influence of the North Atlantic current, it does not freeze all year round, and has become a rare ice-free port along the Arctic Ocean coast. In 1916, the railway connecting the Russian interior was completed and opened to traffic in Murmansk, and the construction of the port began at the same time, and Murmansk was officially established as a city.
During World War II, Murmansk played an extremely important role as a famous military port in the north, and various supplies from the Allied forces were continuously transported to all parts of the Soviet Union. 1/4 of the U.S.-British aid to the Soviet Union was transported into the Soviet Union through this port, which effectively supported the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War. The famous Murmansk Defense War broke out here, which lasted for 40 months, and finally ended in the defeat of The German Fascists, and Murmansk became a famous city of heroes.
Murmansk, as the headquarters of the Soviet Union's Northern Fleet, had a large number of soldiers.
The joyous soviet people. All this until the collapse of the Soviet Empire.
