1st May Celebrations in Siberia | TOMSK | Russia | 4K
May Day began to be celebrated after local workers in the American city of Chicago held a rally in 1886, demanding the introduction of an eight-hour working day. The protest ended in clashes with the police. Three years later, in memory of this bloody event, the Paris Congress of the Second International named May 1 as the Day of Solidarity of Workers of the World.
That same year, May Day demonstrations were held in Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Germany, Denmark, Spain, Italy, the United States, Norway, France and Sweden in solidarity with Chicago workers. The main slogan of the demonstrations was the demand for an eight-hour working day.

The holiday came to Russia in 1890. But there were no large-scale actions; only on the western outskirts of the empire - in Warsaw - was a strike in which 10 thousand workers took part.
May Day became widespread in Russia in the 20th century. So, in 1901, May Day demonstrations of workers took place in St. Petersburg, Tbilisi, Gomel, Kharkov and other cities. They were accompanied by political slogans, in particular “Down with autocracy!”, and clashes with troops.
After the October Revolution of 1917, May Day in Russia becomes official; initially it was called “International Day” and has been a non-working day since 1918. Since 1928, May 2 has also become a non-working holiday.
On May 1, workers’ demonstrations and military parades were held - the first May Day parade of the Red Army took place in 1918 on Khodynskoye Field. On the second day of the holiday, as a rule, “May Days” took place throughout the country - mass celebrations in nature.
In 1970, the holiday was renamed International Workers’ Day. It was also celebrated on May 1 and 2, but demonstrations were still held on the first day. The last official May Day demonstration took place on May 1, 1990.
After the collapse of the USSR, in 1992, a new name appeared - Spring and Labor Holiday.
Currently, mass actions - demonstrations and rallies for social and labor justice - are held on May 1 by political parties and trade unions.
Holidays dedicated to labor and workers exist in 142 countries around the world. In some countries it is celebrated on the first Monday of May, in the USA Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September, and in Japan Labor Appreciation Day falls on November 23.
