Several articles at link. Very interesting reading and a part of history which I need to study more in depth.
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

In front of St. Alexander's Roman Catholic Church in Kiev (built in the late 1810s, it was a planetarium under the socialists, and re-conscretated in 1991), there is a bell inside an archway, specially made by a German company to last a very long time.

The bell is meant to be rung once every half hour, twenty-four hours a day, day and night, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year, in commemoration of each Ukrainian who died under socialism.

Rung once every half hour, the bell's supposed to be rung for the next circa 1150 years.

Good way for rememberance. Christmas Day should be a day of rememberance of victims and triumph over Communism because Communism collapsed in the Soviet Union on that day. Also, Stalin's henchman Lavarentii Beria was executed. He killed a lot of people and got what he deserved.
