The Soviet Union saved one of my Great Uncles from a concentration camp. Not quite the same, but I appreciate them none the less.

It did according to Gregorian calendar. But the Russians were using the Julian calendar in which it would be the 25th october right now.

Since the calendar shift was already explained, it may be fun to know that there were two revolutions in Russia in 1917, both named after the wrong month. The February revolution took place in March and the October revolution took place in November. Just as a bit of trivia.
