Ivan Sukhov: Why Russia’s Unity Day has no meaning
A Russian nationalist, holds up part of a large \"Romanov dynastic flag\"- the official national flag of the Russian Empire (1858-1883), during a march in the center of St. Petersburg on November 4, 2014, during the National Unity Day.
Nov. 4 is a new holiday introduced in the early 2000s that replaces the previous anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, which the country celebrated on Nov. 7. So far, the main event on Nov. 4 is an annual "Russian March" of nationalists who, for some reason, concluded that the new holiday was invented especially for them.
