2. The event should be symbolic of an accomplishment for the country, so that it shows the younger generations how they succeeded years in the past. The event should symbolize a success for the country. 

3. The event should have noteworthy effects, but they should be important things that improved the country for future years. The effects should not be negative things that impacted people badly, because that will be a negative holiday that will upset people and bring back bad memories. 

4. The event should bring together the country or community. If it divided, that would cause conflict and sadness that would divide the country completely. So, the event should have been a positive experience that would make everyone come together. 

5. It is not necessary for the event to have global repercussions.

6. An event that should be celebrated in years to come is 9/11 or the 2015 terrioritst attacks in Paris. These events have separated certain countries, but should be a time to come together and remember the lives of those who were affected.

1. The official reason for the Kremlin Plan to "sit out the centenary" is because Russia is too divided because of the Revolution to celebrate the holiday. They are struggling with division from the consequences of that year. The more likely reason for them to not participate in the celebration is because Putin does not want to celebrate the act of overthrowing a ruler. He believes that revolution is not necessary. 
2. Kremlin's preferred narrative of Russian history is that it was a successful "march to greatness". This puts in a sense of pride for Russia, which spreads nationalism. This is not accurate because the Revolution greatly affected Russia in a negative way, and he is leaving out the part about the overthrow of the Czar. 
3. "We live in a historical schizophrenia" means that our society is out of order and confusing. We have different ideas that cause conflict, and the ideas constantly change and are affecting ideas daily. The United States lives in a schizophrenia because we have various ideas on every topic, which causes conflict.

2. sometimes, if the event represents huge effects that are occurring within the human race, it should be remembered, and it can be symbolic of the things that many people are going through

3. it should have a lasting emotional effect and it could be pretty impactful on land or the people who live in the place where the event occurred

4. it could be unifying in that it hurt so many people that they all come together. it could also be divisive in that people have very different views on what happened. 

5. maybe it should have global emotional repercussions, just so that it will be remembered because everyone felt something when it happened.

1. they plan to sit it out because they don't want to bring back the themes of uprising and revolution, and Putin doesn't want people to get ideas

2. They prefer to show the public that they have always been successful and prosperous, and bringing back themes of uprising and violence with overthrowing their leaders doesn't fit with that interpretation. 

3. Historical schizophrenia is when people try to erase or reconstruct history to fit their interpretations or their aspirations for what they want history to be. I think that does apply to Russia, and I think that in some situations other countries use it to promote more propaganda.

2. I think the events in history should be symbolic because it reminds us of our past and how to better change our future, without repeating mistakes. 

3. Yes, the event should have noteworthy consequences or effects because the outcome of an event is what we mainly remember.

4. The event can be unifying and divisive depending onion you were on the winning side or if you were on the losing side because there is either a good and unifying outcome or bad and divisive outcome. 

5. The event does not need to have global repercussions because the event might not have effected everyone. 

6. An event during the past twenty years that will be considered important 100 years from now is the Holocaust because so many innocent people died. It is an example of what never to repeat in history.

1. The Kremlin plan to “sit out the centenary of the Russian Revolution" because the official reason is that Russia is too divided from the last year and cannot have another revolution. However, according to the article, the more likely reason is that Putin does not want to be compared to a weak Nicholas II and the downfall of a ruler being celebrated. 

2. The Kremlin’s preferred narrative of Russian history is that everyone gathered together and marched to greatness because this gives Russia a sense of nationalism and being very strong. And, But, the Russian Revolution does not fit neatly into that narrative because there was a revolution and a ruler was overthrown.

3. The phrase, “We live in historical schizophrenia,” means that right now everyone is confused. Other countries, such as the United States, also live in “historical schizophrenia” because so many peoples views and opinions differ from one another's, so everyone is caught in confusion and what the truth is and what is false.
