Sorry, if it is off-top... But that's for students studying Russian language and culture.
We are going to make a RUSSIAN REVOLUTION PARTY (to relax from a serious school course in History of Revolutions). How would you imagine it? Costumes? Games? Music? Activities? Any ideas? It should be fun!
Question for foreigners - what would you like such a party to be?
Thank you in advance!!

Games... Confiscate all money that isn't roubles and burn it. That would be very revolutional. Remember that other currencies used to be illegal and could cost one's freedom or life? If there isn't any money, do "raskulachivanie". And so on and so forth. Must be plenty of fun and surprises. ;)

Divide the people into two groups and let one group beat, rape and murder people from the other one after stealing all their possessions. That would be a really hilarious party, indeed. What is the theme for the next party? Auschwitz?

And don't forget Lenin's cap. :) It also rumored that Lenin standed on the top of an armoured car.

Must be a very, very funny party. To make it a big success, though, you'll need a few machine guns to shoot the counter-revolutionary forces (i.e. all civilians) - a Belgian-made Maxim with water cooler on the barrel would do best, because s it's authentic, a bayonette for each party-goer to slash bellies of the counter-revolutionaries, i.e. women (pregnant ones do best) and children, and a few miles of barbed wire to erect a temporary labor camp for all party goers, because labor camp is where all initial revolutionaries end after a while. When you come to the labor camp stage, make sure your revolutionaries starve all right -- don't let them out before they lose all their teeth. And, oh, confiscations, how could I forget about this one, it makes so much fun to confiscate all people's belongings, only leaving them with one change of underwear (and don't let them put what's left in a bag -- it must be just wrapped in a handkerchief.) This is what the Russian revolution is usually like. Sounds like good fun, eh?

I'll bet you're sorry you asked, huh? I thank you sincerely though. I got some laughs out of this thread.
