Labor Day, a photo from Primorskiy, Far East

Photographer's Note

It is Labor Day in Europe, Korea and communist countries on May 1st every year.

Russia has had Labor Day since the Soviet Republic.
The whole city street is festive. Labor Day is considered very noble and sacred in Russia.
Many Russians spend their holidays from May 1st Labor Day to May 9th Victory Day.

Hi Jang,
what a colorful scene! The blue and red banners are so eye catching. It is also always nice to see inscriptions in a different alphabet we are used to. It adds an exotic touch.
Very nice festival photography.
We were celebrating 1st of May in Poland with similar marches and also the 9th of May as the end of the WWII.
After we gained independence from Russia, we stopped celebrating the May 1st as it was too much connected to Communism which we happily got rid of, also we realized that 9th of May meant the end of war with Germany but a start of occupation of our country by Russia. They have heavily exploited our country over many years so it is somehow not really a great date to celebrate...
Great reportage,
M

Hi Jang,very nice memory of labor day from Russia 8 years ago, a fest common in the world, but i think more important in the countries with a communist past, a perfect capture very sharp and bright. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hello Jang

The red and blue colours contrast nicely and the balloons at left add a nice splash of colour to this street parade. Tfs!
