    State and folk holidays in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

Each country has its own holidays, but Russia has always been different. Our country is unique, where traditions from East and West successfully coexist. Russian history is rooted in the distant past, in the times of the pagan faith. From a small tribe in central Europe, Russia has grown into the largest country in the world, with so many regions that have their own customs and holidays.

In Russia, there are official and unofficial, professional and private, old and new holidays. They came from the past, others were revived or renamed. However, not all are important for the Russian people. Professional ones have no meaning to people at all, while others have a greater emotional load. Knowing the customs and traditions of any country is the key to understanding its people, and here Russia is no exception.

International Children's Day

This international holiday, which was originally based in France, focuses on children's rights. It is widespread in Russia mainly with events held in parks that focus on education and play.

Russia Day

This holiday is dedicated to the adoption of the Declaration of Sovereignty of the Russian Federation in 1991, which proclaimed Russia's "independence" from the USSR. However, many Russians still do not know when this was done. Instead, they view the country as a successor state to the USSR and a product of other states that left Russia. According to this view, the holiday is usually celebrated simply as a display of patriotism, similar to Victory Day, with parades, demonstrations, and fireworks set off at 10 p.m.

June 5, 2019 - Eid al-Fitr, in several regions of Russia this day is an official holiday

In Russia, as in any other country, there are purely official holidays. These holidays aren't fun and don't usually mean anything to people, but they have one big advantage: they're weekends. These are the Independence Day of Russia, June 12, the Day of National Agreement and Reconciliation (November 7, it was the Day of the October Revolution) and the Constitution Day (December 12). Although in most cases, Russians do not care about these dates, they take great pleasure in going to summer cottages, meeting friends or just relaxing at home.

Keep in mind that the Russian government usually switches weekends around an official holiday so that people get 3 days off in a row. This is a very common practice. So if May 1st falls on a Tuesday, they will declare the Saturday immediately before May 1st a business day, and the following Monday a holiday. In this case people will get Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. The government announces the change weeks before.

Russian love for the holidays is known all over the world. We really love the holidays. But who doesn't? Perhaps our love of the holidays is especially important to her non-selectivity - just give us a chance to break the daily routine and indulge in excesses of fun, food and drink. Of course, each holiday is good in its own way, and we are not indifferent to their meaning and ritual side. Nevertheless, it is not uncommon in the country when holidays differ in both their attributes and meaning.

Russian holidays are a mixture of new and old, religious and secular, professional and private celebrations. National holidays reflect the multicolored history of Russia. Christian traditions combined with pagan ones and are therefore strongly connected to the seasons and the agricultural cycle.

Church holidays were mixed with those introduced during the communist regime. And we do not mind: every holiday deserves to be celebrated. When a national holiday falls on a public holiday, people get an extra day off because it is considered unfair to miss it.

Spring and Labor Day

May 1, 2019 (weekend: April 29 - May 2, 2019, Saturday, April 28 - working day).

Formerly International Workers' Solidarity Day under the old communist system, today it seems like everyone calls it something else. "Labor Day", "May Holiday" and "Labour Day" seem to all have names in use, but each suggests the same date. It is celebrated with parades, concerts, food and drink, and traditionally begins with the summer season, which means it's more common to take a holiday outside the city with the family.

Victory Day

This day celebrates the end of World War II (Great Patriotic War), in which Russia lost about 20 million people. It is clear that our population takes this day quite seriously, think of Memorial Day and the Fourth of July in America to get an idea of ​​the scale of the celebration.

It is celebrated with parades, concerts, fireworks, recognition of veterans (who usually dress for the occasion) and, of course, food and drink. Since it is quite close to the May 1-2 holidays, many Russians get extra time off from work to take advantage of more leisure time.

In 2009, the ruling United Russia party proposed a bill that would formally move extra-long new year holidays to May. This was supported by many Russians, who argued that the extra weekends in May would be more conducive to constructive use of time, and the extra time in winter only contributed to alcoholism.

The bill was defeated, largely based on preserving the long New Year tradition that has been around for centuries, and perhaps to keep Orthodox Christmas on a public holiday (which falls on New Year's holidays).

To rest is not to work, so many of us say, but whether they really know how to arrange a vacation for themselves is a big question... weekends in the country, at someone's house or on shopping trips.

In general, a break from work in advanced countries, which, as usual, we look up to, involves active pastime in some kind of health trips or cycling trips, participation in sports events, overnight trips to nature, and so on. Of course, we are also gradually rebuilding, especially young people who cannot be kept at home on a day off from work or study.

We hope that over time, our adult population will also prefer active rest to passive rest, which is good for health first of all.
