In many localities of Russia and in the republics of the former Soviet Union, Pervomaiskaya Street, named in honor of the International Workers' Solidarity Day, has been preserved.
In the first years of Soviet power, new, ideological holidays appeared: February 23 (Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Day), March 8 (International Women’s Day), May 1 (International Workers' Solidarity Day). There were very interesting holidays: Komsomol Christmas, when Komsomol members went home singing propaganda, and anti-religious Easter.
On the night of May 5, 1929, an anti-Easter demonstration took place in Tobolsk. Late in the evening, a torchlight procession was organized from the Kremlin to the City Council building. The townspeople marched with songs and banners. A model of the chapel was being carried on a cart, on the threshold of which there was a carnival priest in Easter vestments. The priest was holding a cross on a long stick. Overshadowing the crowd of Komsomol members with a cross, he snarled: "Brothers, give me money, otherwise my mother will scold me." Often the holiday of May 1 and Easter coincided. This happened five times in the twentieth century: in 1922, 1928, 1939, 1945 and 1950.
