MOSCOW — Russia revived its Soviet-era May Day parade on Thursday when more than 100,000 people marched on Moscow's Red Square for the first time since 1991, reveling in their country's annexation of Crimea (http://mashable.com/2014/03/16/crimea-votes-secede-ukraine/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss).

Participants raised signs and banners, brandishing slogans such as "Trust in Putin" or "Let's have a holiday [in] Crimea." Other signs mentioned the "fascist regime" in Ukraine (http://mashable.com/category/ukraine/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss). Members of parliament and Moscow's mayor spoke about various local topics, but there was never mention of the current situation in eastern Ukraine (http://mashable.com/2014/04/24/eastern-ukraine-anti-terror-putin/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), despite widespread **ds to Crimea
