The study, based on a corpus of sources, much of which is being introduced into the scientific circulation for the first time, shows that the "foundation holiday" of the Soviet state - November 7 - was born not only as a result of the efforts of cultural figures and ideological manipulations of the Bolshevik Party. During the years of the Civil War, the main Soviet holiday was a space of clash between different political forces, a power resource for which the struggle was launched. Different factions within the ruling party, opponents and open enemies of the Bolsheviks, and prominent cultural figures used the holiday for their own purposes, lobbying for certain political interests.
The study of the holiday from the perspective of new political history allows us to better understand the specifics of the political struggle of the revolutionary period, and to analyze some features of the political culture that was consolidated and developed during the global crisis of the "era of wars and revolutions.
