Gazeta.ru

"Thousands of people nostalgic for the Communist past marched through former Soviet cities wielding red flags, portraits and banners on Wednesday to celebrate the anniversary of the 1917 Bolshevik revolution."

A relevant quote from the great Faulkner:

"...on the porch and the lawn, talking of Miss Emily as if she had been a contemporary of theirs, believing that they had danced with her, and courted her perhaps, confusing time with its mathematical progression, as the old do, to whom all the past is not a diminishing road but, instead, a huge meadow which no winter ever quite touches, divided from them now by the narrow bottleneck of the most recent decade of years."

Our memories often deceive us...
