This seems to be nostalgic for 'soviet past' and 'great soviet russia'. A.k.a propaganda.
Calendar is on 25th of October, date when October Revolution happened (old style calendar).
This is a beginning of Red Terror. And then many years of other terrors USSR condemned throughout the years of its existence.
I don't see this as a celebration of the glorious revolution, it's a bit more nuanced than that. There's an obvious nod to the October Revolution, but there is also the inclusion of the Marshall amplifier and electric guitar; potent symbols of western culture. The mood seems deliberately ambiguous. Is she nostalgic for the past or is the calendar an unpleasant reminder of how things were?
