I have a question, what became of all of the Soviet Parade floats and signs that was used or those that was last used and if any surviving signs such as the light bulbed signs and so on. Also there used to be signs of Stalin before they were later discontinued. I'm just wondering because I think they be a great museum pieces or at least stored in a historical museum somewhere that somebody can take great care of them.

@TheYizuman I do not know. But it would be wonderful if they were preserved.

Do the October Revoloution Parades last longer than the Victory Day ones?

[RedSamurai84]

@Elvisman1977 Technically yes, because of the demonstration of laborers.

@RedSamurai84

Once again, congratulations on the opulence, excellent taste and erudition of your work. Could you please elaborate on the origin of the brilliant fanfare at 20.15? An excerpt from a march, perhaps (which, if so?), or a general Call at Attention?

[RedSamurai84]

@KniazBolkonsky It is primarily used as speech fanfare according to my knowledge.

[TheYizuman]

@RedSamurai84 Thanks for the quick reply. Yeah, that would be something.

99.9% of the people I've ever met are goobers. And to think in a Communist state, I would have to depend on those people and their productivity to provide for all of my needs... it makes me feel terrible for those of you who have NEVER lived under the red flag, but admire it.

Communism is pretty awesome... but only when it's local. Give any one person or a group of people control over the productivity of an entire country and you're asking for someone to rape you.

@KniazBolkonsky Hi, comrade. I don't know the exact name of this fanfare, but if you want, I can send an mp3 to you. Unfortunately it is unnamed
