May 1 - a celebration which banned in Russia

It's been 4 years since May Day demonstrations were categorically banned in Russia under the pretext of "unfavorable foreign policy situation" and "protection of citizens' security". This year was no exception. Virtually all Russian cities have banned May Day labor demonstrations. To ban them, the ruling class uses the same invented pretexts year after year.

Putin's government does not hide its actions: it uses any excuse to restrict the labor movement and subjugate it, intensifying its roll of fascist repression. The ruling class brazenly calls for "unity" among the people, but there can be no "unity" when some are enjoying life in Dubai and others are dying in an imperialist war.

May Day belonged and will belong to the workers of all countries, it was and will remain the International Workers' Day, not a day of "unity" between exploiters and exploited. The Russian Section of the Comintern (SH) advocates May Day as a day of struggle of the working class for its rights and against bourgeois-revisionist perversions of it.

In the period of the imperialist war in Ukraine, the intensification of the fascization of Russia in general and fascist repressions in particular, we Russian comrades support the Comintern (SH) slogan "Against imperialist war and world fascism"!

Long live the Red First of May!

Long live the Comintern (SH) - the party of the world proletariat!

Long live Marxism-Leninism-Stalinism-Hoxhaism!
