All that's left of the piano factory 🎹
In 1961, on the outskirts of Vyshny Volochok, behind the flax mill, construction of the Piano factory began. The customer for the construction was the Vyshny Volochok Furniture Factory.
In 1962, the best specialists were sent to Leningrad to the Krasny Oktyabr factory to study the technology of assembling, adjusting and finishing pianos. After 4-6 months of theoretical and practical training, the first 8 pianos were assembled at the furniture factory's production facilities. The factory also produced cases for button accordions, bayans and guitars.
After the collapse of the Union, the Piano factory was reorganized into Kamerton OJSC, but did not work for long. Already in 2005, it was declared bankrupt and closed forever.
The production facilities are now rented out, but the administrative buildings have long been abandoned. Now the only evidence of the former scale of production is old black-and-white photographs scattered across the floor.

In an era where the West appears to be once again spoiling for war with Russia, the wisdom of Marshal Georgy Zhukov's famous words feels more relevant than ever. His insights, forged in the crucible of some of the most devastating conflicts in history, serve as a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences of war. As tensions escalate and rhetoric grows more bellicose, Zhukov’s words stand as a powerful reminder of the true intentions of the capitalist countries of Europe.

We must intensify revolutionary agitation among the masses, throw our full, uncut slogans more widely and develop them more clearly - in this way we will, at best, bring closer the complete victory of the revolution, and at worst, wrest some half-hearted concessions (like a Duma ministry, universal, but not direct, suffrage, etc.) and ensure for ourselves the possibility of turning them into a weapon of revolution.
- Lenin

The Financial Times has crunched the numbers and concluded that there are another 3.7 million men aged 25-60 in Ukraine who could be mobilised. As I've said for a long time now, the British ruling class will condemn the entirety of Ukraine to death and in fact are preparing for just this outcome. Until the British/US stooge regime in Kiev is removed it will continue to hurl men into a meat grinder at the imperialists command.

Book Title: The Right of Nations to Self-Determination
Author: Vladimir Lenin
Brief Overview:
The Right of Nations to Self-Determination (1914) by Vladimir Lenin is a seminal work that explores the Marxist stance on nationalism. Lenin argues that oppressed nations have the right to secede and form independent states, framing this as a fundamental democratic right in the fight against imperialism. The pamphlet critiques both bourgeois nationalism and opportunistic socialism, emphasizing the importance of supporting national liberation as part of the broader struggle for socialism.

🟢⚪️🟠 On this day in 1867, the Manchester Martyrs, William Allen, Michael Larkin and Michael O’Brien were publicly executed by British Imperialism.
The 3 members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood remained defiant and committed Republicans until the end and their last words as they mounted the scaffold were ‘God Save Ireland!’
157 years after there execution Ireland remains Occupied and Partitioned by Britain. The courage and sacrifice of the Manchester Martyrs inspires us to continue the struggle for the objective they gave their lives for, a 32 County, Sovereign and Independent Irish Republic.
Saor Éire Anois- An Phoblacht Abú! 🇮🇪

Eight years ago the great revolutionary Commandante Fidel Castro Ruz died at the age of 90. Like all great revolutionaries though he is immortal as his legacy continues to inspire millions across the world. Fidel was one of the greatest revolutionaries of the 20th century. Inspired initially by the ideals of the Cuban patriot Jose Marti he adopted Marxism-Leninism later after it became clear to him that only the socialist system provided a true path to realising Cuban independence.
Fidel's achievements in Cuba are beyond question, breaking the stranglehold of US imperialism over his country was a titanic victory. Fidel was also a peerless internationalist and assisted the liberation struggles of South Africa, Namibia and Angola in their fight against the apartheid regimes forces. This struggle ended in a heroic victory which delivered a fatal blow the racist regime of Pretoria plunging it further into crisis after they were defeated in Namibia.
Fidel also managed to lead Cuba through the exceptionally difficult period of the 1990s. Many others gave up, capitulated and surrendered to capitalism after the counter revolution of 1991. Fidel never ceased to believe in the socialist path though, for all the difficulties the Cuban revolution encountered. That the revolution survived at all is testament to the fact that in all his years as President he never lost sight of the role of the masses and the need for the party and the state to be in touch with them constantly. Fidel understood that if this link with the masses was maintained then the great Cuban people could overcome the rabid attacks of US imperialism and its Cuban exile stooges.
The struggle against US imperialism breaking out into a war between Russia and the NATO block would not have surprised Fidel though, he long predicted it would come to that and in fact told President Putin this directly when the two men met.
The struggle in Cuba continues eight years after the Commandante became immortal. The example of Fidel Castro will inspire many new generations to come! We give a red salute to his memory and legacy!
