At the meeting, the members reviewed the heroic history and great significance of the Russian October Revolution. 101 years ago, on November 7, 1917, under the leadership of the Russian Communist Party, headed by V. Lenin, the Russian October Revolution won and entered human history as the greatest event of the 20th century. The October Revolution awakened oppressed peoples, illuminated the path of development, and advanced to build socialism.

The October Revolution also laid the foundation for the precious traditional friendship between the Vietnamese and Russian peoples. Overcoming the test of time and historical ups and downs, the relationship between the two peoples has continuously developed and strengthened.
