May day here as I understand it was a part attempt to equalise holidays here with the EU who I think get more. USA less.
LOL Some Tory don't like it
In 1889, May Day was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day by the socialists and communists of the Second International,
Sort of Labour day.
Why don't you answer the question.

All those "days" reminds me - I was in the then Kiev and it was some sort of national day. There were hordes of kids on the streets, all marching with shouldered rifles. The youngest would have been about 8! I took the pictures and they'd done their bit and their leader bloke wanted to use/show off his English. Not a lot to talk about really, but I recognised their guns. Some Tokarev carbines, and two of the kids had Mosin-Nagant sniper jobs, about at long as the kids were. They were telling me how far away they could kill someone - easy ish because you learn numbers if you're travelling. Then it got difficult. They wanted to know something about me in "military" - er, no. I'd clocked the M-N sniper rifle because I'd recently looked it up, it has a strangely high sight.
The reason I'd looked it up wasn't because I'm some highly knowledgeable student of soviet munitions. I'd just read an Andy McNab book and one if his characters used one for an assassination...

It’s genocide
why is it important to you?
you can call it genocide, mass murder…whatever.
It isn't important to me.
You are the one who keeps banging on about it.
You get all outraged about alleged Russian genocide but when it is pointed out to you that other countries have been accused of genocide, your reaction is completely different.
Sounds like it was after 2014 but curious - when were you there?
May 9th is the day of the Red Square military parade. That could be awkward but it also makes it a good point to make in the war of words.
