Orders for dates

2007 Author Sergey Dick.

The anniversaries of the October Revolution in the Tomsk region have long been celebrated on a small scale. There were no demonstrations of thousands of people. The holiday was turning from a national holiday into another historical date. And in Soviet times, it was on the eve of this day that Tomsk was remembered by the party leadership and awarded with Soviet orders. The awards, which the main Tomsk newspapers wrote about at that time, had long been gathering dust in safes, and for the then leadership of the city and region were no longer a reason for pride.
