| Velovelo | I'll mark my calendar. By the way, it was not a "Russian Revolution," it was a communist take-over. Revolution occurs when people take charge and run the government recognizing that the people have the power. |

Watch out for March, 8 2017 International keep it in your pants day. According to Wikipedia: 2017 will be the hundredth anniversary of the Russian Revolution, which was sparked on March 8, 1917 by women protesting against bread shortages in St. Petersburg. These events culminated in the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II on March 15. Worldwide celebrations and re-enactments are scheduled to begin on March 8, 2017. Among the organisers is the Ukrainian women's direct action group FEMEN, which aims "to shake women in Ukraine, making them socially active; to organize in 2017 a women's revolution."[20] On this day a global women's strike including a sex strike is planned, called by, among others, the International Union of Sex Workers.[citation needed] |
