Working people in Russia get united to celebrate May Day

Russia is celebrating May Day at the height of the world economic crisis. Signs are it is precisely the crisis that makes today’s holiday a true symbol of working people cohesion. Today’s spring and labour holiday, which is above all International Working People’s Solidarity Day, has been celebrated in Russia since 1890, that is for the 119th time. Many-thousand strong manifestations are held in the cities in the Russian Far East. Processions by Moscow trade unions will be led by their leaders and United Russia functionaries to set up a cry for work, wages and dignified life.
