How was May 1 celebrated during the Soviet era?

May 1 was celebrated in the Soviet Union as "International Workers' Day" to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago, Illinois. The first May Day was held in 1890, and it quickly became one of the most important holidays in the Soviet Union.

On May 1st, workers and students across the Soviet Union would take part in parades and demonstrations to celebrate their achievements and solidarity with the working class around the world. The demonstrations were typically led by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU), with top party leaders, including the general secretary, speaking from a podium on Red Square in Moscow.

The holiday was also marked by speeches, concerts, and other cultural events that celebrated the history and achievements of the Soviet people. In addition, many factories, businesses, and organizations held their own May Day celebrations, with employees receiving bonuses, gifts, and other rewards for their hard work and dedication.

May 1 was not only a day of celebration but also a reminder of the Soviet Union's commitment to socialist ideology and the struggle for workers' rights.
