The Russian Federation celebrates Russia Day as a national holiday.
Russian citizens celebrate this important day in Russian history. It is not observed by everyone, as it brings back some bitter memories during the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Russia Day was started initially in 1992 and it is celebrated annually on June 12. But the date may vary; if it falls on a weekend, it is celebrated on the following Monday.
The Supreme Soviet of Russia proclaimed Russia Day as a national holiday.
On June 12, 1992, Russia Day was first celebrated to commemorate the adoption of RSFSR; the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, on June 12, 1990. The name of the holiday has changed twice since 1991. Originally it was called Independence Day, but it was not a national holiday. Even though Russia Day did not have such a name in official documents, some think that this day is Russia's Independence Day. It was officially renamed Russia Day on February 1, 2002.
The declaration of the State Sovereignty of the Soviet Union by the first Congress was the beginning of constitutional reforms in Russia. Firework displays and concerts mark this important day in many cities. Russian scientists, eminent writers, and humanitarian workers are acknowledged with state awards.
Display your patriotism with pride by waving the Russian flag and marching to the tune of the national anthem.
Appreciate the unique culture by wearing the traditional folk dress, drinking tea, devouring Russian soup, and dancing to the village songs.
Go outdoors, whether in the city or the countryside, no one spends Russia Day indoors.
On Russia Day, there are celebrations with fireworks displays, flag hoisting, speeches by prominent leaders and the President, parades, singing of the national anthem and patriotic songs, cultural programs, and other entertainment. State awards are also given to prominent citizens of the Russian Federation.
Victory Day is considered the most important day in Russia, which ended the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945).
It is a public holiday in Russia. Russia Day is an official holiday for schools, businesses, public offices, and the general public.
Boris Yeltsin encouraged the national holiday and renamed it as 'Day of Adopting the Declaration of Sovereignty of the Russian Federation'.
Public transport schedules may be changed due to events in different cities. One must remember that on this day, you might find roads blocked due to celebration. Hence, plan the day accordingly.
Families celebrate the national holiday by attending fireworks displays and cultural programs, including concerts in various parts of the country.
National authorities remind people about Sovereignty, equality before the law, judicial powers, and federalism which is stated in the declaration of State Sovereignty.
