“More than a hundred years have passed since the events of the Great October Revolution, but its ideals are still relevant and significant,” the congratulatory message reads. “Today, the vast majority of the world’s population strives for social justice, though many countries still face modern forms of exploitation and oppression, cultural expansion, as well as economic sanctions and political blackmail.”
