no mention of the anniversary of the october revolution?

да здравствует великая октябрьская соииалистическая революция!

erm, anyway:
question1: what are the best anti-west, anti-capitalist, anti-american phrases?
question2: what are the best soviet propaganda movies? (like, russian versions of crap movies like Top Gun, Iron Eagle, etc..)

The actual holiday has been moved to Nov 4th :^) And without a parade it's not as exciting anymore...

May I recommend something a bit different?

Check out poetry by Sergei Mikhalkov (the same guy who wrote the lyrics for the Soviet anthem) http://lib.baikal.net/koi.cgi/TALES/MIHALKOW/stihi.txt

It's very simple, easy easy to remember (i used to be able to recite entire poems) and as anti-west, anti-capitalist and anti-american as you can ask for.

Especially recommended are:

"Миша Корольков"

...
- Снять с него проклятый галстук!
Руки за спину ему! -
Пионер не испугался:
- Красный галстук не сниму!
...

"Свобода Слова"
...
Кто же был он, этот важный,
Любознательный турист?
Это просто был продажный
Буржуазный журналист

Как же нам не вспомнить снова
Эту желтую печать -
Для нее Свобода Слова:
Или врать или молчать!


"Слова и Буквы"

...
Четыре буквы, например:
Три С и рядом с ними Р.
Великий смысл они таят,
Когда они подряд стоят!

Но если взять нам С и Ш
И после них поставить А,
То смысл получится иной -
Сегодня он грозит войной

Good stuff :^) (Note, he also wrote a lot of poetry for children. The site has it all in a one big pile, so you have to hunt around a bit)

Oh here's one movie. "Праздник Святого Йоргена" - an anti-religious musical comedy from 30-s. It's incredibly ridiculous, but it's fun.

(you _can_ download the full movies from the link but you'd have to go through a russian proxy. it's a pain in the ass, I know, but that's the best I can find :( )
