So we are approaching March 8th, 2017. Is anything going to be done to mark the occasion? Might the Russians flood into the streets to overthrow a corrupt and autocratic regime to celebrate?

Does the American government count? If so they're a few months early :P

Hey! Our regime wasn't that autocratic.

We're upsetting the international system at roughly the same order of magnitude.

The Russians now control the White House.  They have achieved ultimate victory.  Why should they overthrow their victorious leaders?

Because the Russian has an inborn desire to fuck himself over.  He is his own worst enemy.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

From what I gather, Russians are pretty happy at the way things are.  Any problems they may suffer are the fault of the outsiders and former ennemy countries like the US and NATO members bordering them.

Anything planned in Washington?  A joint Caps - US Army parade maybe? ;)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

The Caps should get a parade with the season they are enjoying.

Does it mean after a few more months they get an even worse régime after a new revolution?  :P

At least we would have eight months of hope :P

Royal Academy of Arts in London is having a Russian Revolution art show.

Oh I can't spend tourism dollars in states that hate gays.
