On November 7 (a former Great October Revolution Day), the
YABLOKO party will conduct a memorial action paying tribute
to those who defended democratic Russia – officers
and students of junker schools who put up an armed resistance
against the Bolshevik coup d’etat of 1917.
A picket will take place by the Gogol monument at 13:00. The
participants of the picket will tell about the struggle of
the White Guard against Bolsheviks during October coup in
Moscow. The activists will also display photographs of those
times.
After the picket the participants will put a temporal memorial
plaque on the building of Alexander’s Military School (at
present one of the buildings of the Ministry of Defence),
which located the head-quarters of the armed resistance to
Bolsheviks in 1917. The activists will also lay flowers by
the building.
