Moscow, February 4, 1990. The most massive protest in the history of the Soviet Union. 300 thousand people marched from the Crimean Bridge along the Garden Ring and Gorky Street (now Tverskaya) to the 50th Anniversary of October Square (Manezhnaya). The main demand of the protesters was to abolish Article 6 of the USSR Constitution that declared the leading role of the Communist Party.
I ransacked a school and I now have two wooden Lenins (one painted, the other pyrographed), Soviet Union anthem on plexiglas, hand-painted USSR emblem, and a bunch of cardboard-lined school charts. Treasures!!
