On November 7th, 1917, the Bolsheviks seized power Russia, promising “peace, land and bread” to the people. Over the next 74 years the people were starved, killed by death squads, thrown in work camps and gulags, and other things unrelated to “peace, land and bread”.

The Bolshevik Revolution began on this day in November 1917. Vladimir Lenin’s Red Guards seized power and began the process of plunging Russia into decades of Soviet oppression.
Remember the victims.

One of the most poignant images from All Saints’ Day in London.
At the Polish Air Force Memorial in Northolt, 8-year-old Antek joins hundreds of Poles in paying tribute to the Polish airmen who sacrificed their lives ‘for your freedom and ours’. Their bravery and sacrifice will never be forgotten!
The commemoration was organised by Polskie Dywizjony Lotnicze, and British Poles was the media patron of the event.

On October 8th, 1982, because communists are *totally* about worker's rights, the communist Polish government banned Solidarity and all other trade unions.
