Old Style date
Old Style date (OS) The date of a historical or astronomical event on the Julian calendar, as opposed to the modern Gregorian calendar. Thus the Russian revolution of 1917, whose anniversary is November7 on the Gregorian calendar, was referred to in Russia as the October Revolution, since Russia still used the Julian calendar at the time and its Old Style date was 1917October25.
