History[edit]

First celebrated in 1919, the holiday marks the date in 1918 during the Russian Civil War when the first mass draft into the Red Army occurred in Petrograd and Moscow (on 17 February).[1] In January 1919, it was decided to combine the celebration of that day with the anniversary of the publication of the decree on the establishment of the Red Army (of 18 February 1918).[1] In 1919, 17 February fell on a Monday, so it was decided to move the holiday to the nearest Sunday – 23 February.[1] That choice of day has been retained ever since.[1] It was originally known as «Red Army Day» (Russian: День Красной Армии).[1] In 1923, it was officially named Day of the Red Army and the Navy.[1]

In 1949, it was renamed to Soviet Army and Navy Day (Russian: День Советской армии и Военно-морского флота, romanized: Dyen’ Sovyetskoy armii i Voyenno-morskogo flota).[1] Following the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, the holiday was given its current name in 2002 by Russian President Vladimir Putin, who decreed it a state holiday (in Russia).[2]

Defender of the Fatherland day

It is a day off for the general population, and schools, banks and official buildingsand most businesses are closed.

Many Russians observe February 23 as men’s day because military service is obligatory for most men in Russia.

Women often give presents and postcards to their male relatives, including those who never served in the military. On a workday before or after the holiday, many women also congratulate their male colleagues and schoolboys receive small presents from their female classmates.

Russian authorities organize local parades to honor the military and veterans on this day.

Founded in 1919 to mark the establishment of the Soviet Red Army, the name was changed to Red Army Day in 1923. After the Second World War, the name changed again in 1946 to Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the official holiday was renamed the Defender of the Fatherland Day.

Common symbols of Defender of the Fatherland Day are a soldier and the Russian flag. These symbols often appear on postcards and congratulatory banners in Russian cities on this day.

День защитника Отечества

Перевод

Это выходной день для большинства населения, а школы, банки и государственные здания закрыты.

Многие россияне отмечают 23 февраля как мужской день, потому что военная служба обязательна для большинства мужчин в России.

Женщины часто дарят подарки и открытки родственникам-мужчинам, в том числе тем, кто никогда не служил в армии. В рабочий день до или после праздника многие женщины также поздравляют своих коллег-мужчин, а школьники получают небольшие подарки от своих одноклассниц.

В этот день российские власти организовывают в честь военных и ветеранов местные парады.

Основанная в 1919 году в ознаменование создания Советской Красной Армии, название было изменено на День Красной Армии в 1923 году. После Второй мировой войны название снова изменилось в 1946 году на День Советской Армии и Военно-морского флота. После распада Советского Союза официальный праздник был переименован в День защитника Отечества.

Общими символами Дня защитника Отечества являются солдат и российский флаг. Эти символы часто появляются на открытках и поздравительных баннерах в российских городах в этот день.

Celebrations in Russia and worldwide[edit]

Officially, as the name suggests, the holiday celebrates people who are serving or were serving the Russian Armed Forces (both men and women, both military and civilian personnel), but unofficially, nationally it has also come to include the celebration of men as a whole, and to act as a counterpart of International Women’s Day on March 8.

The holiday is celebrated with parades and processions in honor of veterans, and women also give small gifts to men in their lives, especially husbands (or boyfriends, fiances), fathers, sons and brothers. As a part of the workplace culture, women often give small gifts to their male co-workers. Consequently, in colloquial usage, the holiday is often referred to as «Men’s Day» (Russian: День мужчин, romanized: Den’ muzhchin).

One of the holiday traditions in Moscow is a ceremony near the Kremlin, the laying of wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The Russian President, the heads of both chambers of parliament, military leaders, representatives of other branches of government, heads of political parties as well as Russian Orthodox Church officials[3] arrive at the Alexander Garden which is located near the Moscow Kremlin walls. After a moment of silence, the national anthem is played and a solemn march of an honour guard unit passes. In the evening, the country’s leadership is present at a concert dedicated to the holiday on the State Kremlin Palace. Also in the evening in Moscow and in many other cities of Russia, fireworks are displayed. A military parade on Omsk’s Cathedral Square is held on 23 February.[4]

Being that they both celebrate the holiday, soldiers of the Armed Forces of Belarus and Russian Armed Forces soldiers also hold joint festive events on 23 February.

In Israel[edit]

Today, even though it is not a public holiday, many women will still give some extra attention to male relatives, friends, husbands and boyfriends, especially to those serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.[19][20] Armed Forces Day for the entire Armed Forces is celebrated yearly on 6 December with special programs and nationwide gun salutes and fireworks displays.[20]

The Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic continue to celebrate Defender of the Fatherland Day.[citation needed]

Ежегодно в конце зимы русский народ и некоторые другие соседние народы празднуют День защитника Отечества. Этот праздник выпадает на 23 февраля и имеет особое значение. Он впервые отмечался в первой половине 20-го века, как день Красной Армии. Сегодня он широко известен как день отцов или всех мужчин. По этому случаю, женщины всей России и некоторых бывших советских республик готовят небольшие, но душевные подарки для своих отцов, мужей, сыновей, братьев, парней и просто друзей мужского пола. Помимо подарков, они могут купить для них открытки или цветы. Особенно ценится, когда маленькие девочки создают какие-нибудь безделицы своими руками для отцов или братьев. Такими небольшими, но ценными подарками всегда дорожат. День защитника Отечества отмечается по всей стране. Почти в каждом большом и маленьком городе можно увидеть публичные концерты, парады, фестивали и другие тематические выступления. В подобных мероприятиях участвуют и дети, и взрослые, для того чтобы видеть своих отцов счастливыми и создать праздничное настроение. Военным и ветеранам в этот день особый почет. Так же как и 8 марта, 23 февраля является государственным праздником в России. Офисы и школы не работают, так что приемлемо поздравлять коллег-мужчин и одноклассников за день до или после фактического праздника. Большинство компаний собирают определенную сумму на покупку подарков для работников мужского пола. Работницы иногда накрывают праздничный стол с вином и закусками для своих коллег, и вместе они празднуют это событие. Несмотря на то, что 23 февраля возникло как день тех, кто служит или служил в прошлом, сегодня даже маленькие мальчики получают подарки и поздравления. С течением времени этот праздник стал более известен как Мужской день.
