Description: "11/07/1967: Anti-Bolshevik demonstration in Ottawa. About 300-400 demonstrators, members of a dozen organizations representing Canadians of Eastern European background picketed the Soviet Embassy in Ottawa on the 50th anniversary of the communist revolution attended by 350-400 guests. The purpose was to deliver a message calling for the release of prisoners, the withdrawal of Soviet forces from satellite countries, and free elections within the USSR. The demonstrators tossed paint, eggs, stones, and bottles at the Soviet Embassy. Three windows were smashed and red paint was splattered across the steps. Several red flags were burned. Police arrested five persons and charged them with creating a disturbance. Among the groups represented were the Hungarian Freedom Fighters Association. Ten city policemen sent to the Embassy were reinforced by 20 constables and ten plainclothes officers."
