In the USA's Moscow, the boys and girls are setting up booths on Main Street and passing out badges saying the wearer likes being an American and believes in Democracy.
This is the first year this college town of 10,000 is celebrating May 1 in this fashion. The badge idea was fostered by the Chamber of Commerce.
