Last May 1st there took place the traditional May Day Celebrations and Demonstration and AKM marched from the October Square to the centre of Moscow. In the columns of the All Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks (AUCPB) there were members of the Vanguard of Communist Youth Battalion. There followed a mass meeting where the leader of the Moscow AUCPB, comrade Kuvaev spoke, as well as from Tallinn, the defenders of the Soviet Monument to the Soviet Hero.
On May 9th, during the Victory Day Celebrations. the AKM battalion marched together in the column of the AUCPB from the Byelorussian Railway Station to the Liubinskaya Square, where there took place the traditional May Day meeting.
