and yet what he is not the Soviet ...

The Bolsheviks in general rather weak in the invention were, if not dealt with violence.
They used all that was recognizable by the people for their own purposes. For example, occurred not only in military uniform, but with many of the songs, music that is not me, but I have only words, profitable for themselves. And these words proclaimed popular.
Today the tradition continues - music old and new words, and the whole country singing. :): p: D

This is what the whole country singing? And when? Maybe the country is singing very early, and I was asleep and did not hear? :)

On the jacket is similar, but the portrait is not visible detail.

And what we eat standing up on a pedestal?

We? I do not get up on any pedestal and there is no singing.

Of course, new words are simply not aware. They were invented long after your graduation and the institution where the symbols are promoted knowledge of the state.

But I'm old and say something but did not know and did not want to know.

Citizen in the picture dressed in uniforms of the military uniform, but most likely some kind of civil authorities, the end of the 19 th, early 20 th century.
