Here's another question for general knowledge. Please try to answer from what you know without having to search it on the internet.

Question: In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution?

 

[Corno Dolce]

In November, since they still use the Julian Calendar.

 

[Oneiros]

In the same month as Oktoberfest? :crazy:

 

[Corno Dolce]

Hi Oneiros,

That was funny - ROTFLMAO!!! :grin::grin::grin:

Cheers,

Corno Dolce

I think Corno Dolce is right: it ought to be November.

Hi,

was pleased to know almost everybody knew the right answer!!!

Btw, Krummhorn - the formulation is incorrect ( it is not being celebrated anymore )

 

[Krummhorn]

Thanks Andrew ...
I wasn't aware that the celebration was now defunct ... oh well, guess I can't win them all ... :crazy: :banghead:

 

[Krummhorn]

In November, since they still use the Julian Calendar.

Bingo ... this was the first posted correct answer.

General knowledge hm?. OK:
Famous Wieniawsky violin contest; first Ginette Neveu;
second,David Oistrakh; third??

 

[marval]

Third I think was possibly Henry Temianka

Correct me if I am wrong

 

[oisfetz]

You'r right sir!. Henri Temianka, an average
violinist and founder of the famous (on 50s)
Paganini SQ. Really, there were much better
violinists competing than Temianka, but we
all know what contests are. Neveu better than
Oistrakh? Never in the life!.But it was Poland,
they hate russians and in particular russian jews.

 

[marval]

Thanks for that, I agree not better than David Oistrakh.
