I don't know much about history (as the song goes), but I am aware of the Russian Revolution of 1917, the rise of the Bolsheviks to power, and the establishment of the Soviet Union. And it's this event that will be celebrated this Sunday in Second Life, beginning at 11 AM PST, in the Russian Empire sim.On display will be several motorized military vehicles, a statue of Vladimir Lenin, and a lovely warship, as well as an assortment of Revolution posters, which will exist until the end of November. I visited the site early, looking around at the neat builds, when a map caught my eye. Standing before it, I realized it was a map of the sim itself, with little icons that represented me and the other visitor present, with our names hovering over them. As we moved, the map updated itself with our locations. I'd never seen this sort of thing before, but it was fun to look at.
Go give this place a visit on Sunday, and enjoy the revolution!
[Thanks, Anton!]
