Yelena Saratova shouts as she and other Communist supporters march to mark May Day in downtown St. Petersburg, Russia, Friday, May 1, 2009, with a portrait of the Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin at left. During the Soviet era, May 1 was a major celebration of worker solidarity, Soviet might and the advent of spring. After the Soviet collapse, it provided an opportunity for Communists and others angry over the switch to lopsided capitalism to vent criticism.
