Meeting of the left forces was scheduled for 10:30. but supporters of the Communist Party slowly massed on the Kaluga area for another hour. The workers greeted each other with “Christ is risen!” And replied – “Happy workers!”. At the exit of the subway elderly man loudly urged someone on the phone, “Zyuganov said that to believe in God can! God – the first communist! “. The ringing of the bells of the nearby temple of the Kazan icon of the Mother of God mingled with shouts of traders, we offer to purchase Soviet symbols. As usual on May Day, around the statue of Lenin formed a spontaneous flea market, reminiscent of the times of NEP. In addition to antique already soviet badges, pendants and coins for the collapse can be found in almost any book – from the “Lay” to fiction McGee, classic military prose Vasyl Bykov and modern masters of detective fiction paperbacks. In the past, here are referred to the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” or the “mysteries of the Third Reich”, but now this literature has become much less – perhaps supporters of the Communist Party still changed the literary preferences, and can range carefully studied operatives Center “E” .
