Happy Mad Day!
Happy May Day!
Until I was 25, this was the day US media always had an easy opening segment to the news, reporting on the scary power of the USSR as displayed that year. What a different world we have now. Link
It really sank into your thinking and your world view back then. Oddly enough, the Cold War made some things so easy...

May day was a little less interesting this year, I know there were the usual may day protests in Europe mixed in with anti-COVID restrictions and some far right elements to start fights. Sizes of the protests were all smaller than usual, pandemic plus general apathy.
Cold war did make a us vs them mentality easier.
