Russia Day 2017. Parking

In Moscow, on June 12, motorists will be able to leave their cars in parking spaces for free, it is reported on website Moscow parking. You can leave your car without paying in any parking lot located on the road network and included in the capital’s parking zone.

Russia Day 2017. History of the holiday

Russia Day previously, until 2002, was called Russian Independence Day. Russia Day is a public holiday and is one of the “youngest” holidays in the country.

Numerous surveys periodically conducted by the media or sociological services show that every year the number of Russians who do not know what date Russia Day is celebrated is decreasing. Levada Center conducted the statistical research. The opinions of Russians regarding the celebration of this day were studied. The information received showed that less than 1/2 of the population considers the holiday to be Russia Day.

A significant proportion of Russians call the solemn date Independence Day. Another few percent of residents consider the event to be Declaration of Independence Day. Some perceive June 12 as the date of the election of the first Russian president.

Representatives of different generations almost all confidently call the 12th day of the first summer month a holiday; a significant percentage of patriots consider it a significant date.

Russia Day: Popularity among the people

Despite the policy of popularizing the holiday, not all Russians know what holiday June 12 is. The Levada Center conducted a corresponding survey. Russians' opinions on what June 12 is celebrated in Russia are divided between Russia Day, Independence Day, and the Day of the Declaration of Independence. Some remember that on this day the first Russian President. In general, less than half of Russians know that June 12 is Russia Day.

The following data was obtained according to Levada Center:

47% of respondents chose the correct option - Russia Day;

33% - live in the early 2000s and voted for Independence Day;

6% - remembered Boris Yeltsin;

8% - did not answer anything;

4% said that this is not a holiday at all;

2% suggested options that stood out from the general list.

Russia Day: At the government level

Russians subconsciously draw an analogy between Russia's day, calling it Independence Day, and Independence Day in the United States. This is fundamentally wrong. If the United States gained independence at once, from the moment the Declaration was signed, then Russia has been independent for a very long time, and the date of the proclamation of Russia as a state cannot be specifically named.

However, not only ordinary people They don’t know what holiday June 12 is, and even those at the top have difficulty defining it. As deputy Nikolai Pavlov rightly noted in 2007, the beginning of the Declaration of Sovereignty proclaims Russia to be part of the Soviet Union. Exact text sounds as follows: “Parting back, Alexey Mitrofanov generally stated that, with the same success, along with a national holiday, June 12 can be considered the day of the Liberal Democratic Party, because on this day Zhirinovsky took 3rd place in the presidential elections, which secured himself an influential place in politics.” . This is such a mess.

Russia Day: History of the holiday

At the state level, this is, of course, today the most main holiday. This is the date from which the formation of a new statehood began based on the principles of democracy, civil law, and federalism.

At first, people were not in the mood for the holidays. June 12th - what a holiday! The difficult situation in the country, default after default, crisis after crisis... There is no time to delve into the essence of the political situation - just to feed yourself and your family. At that time, surveys were also conducted, and the results were not impressive - when people mentioned Independence Day, people’s eyes did not light up with patriotism, they did not understand the essence of the holiday. The only thing that pleased the Russians was an additional day off, which they could devote to rest. The authorities, of course, sought to popularize the holiday, held rallies and demonstrations, but this was somehow done without enthusiasm.

The same Boris Yeltsin decided to change the meaning of the holiday by changing the name. In 1998, a proposal was made to rename it Russia Day, but the final decision was made only in 2002.

Today is Russia Day - a symbol of national unity, Motherland, freedom, peace and harmony. The patriotism of the people is growing, perhaps this happened thanks to the successful Winter Olympics in Sochi and the annexation of Crimea. We may not yet fully understand the importance of this holiday, but, undoubtedly, we have begun to relate to it much better. Perhaps the whole reason is that life in the country has improved somewhat.

Russia Day: What happened before...

Celebrating Russia Day today, June 12, we must not forget about the centuries-old history and traditions of the state, because its formation took place not in 1990, but much earlier, informs w. There were times when the glory of the state burned even brighter. And the fact that today we are independent is the result not of the signing of the Declaration of Sovereignty of Russia, but of the centuries-old efforts of our ancestors, who earned this right at the cost of their blood and happiness.

There was an event in the history of Russia that was comparable in significance to the signing of the 1990 Declaration. This event is the election of Andrei Yuryevich Bogolyubsky as Prince of Rostov and Suzdal. It happened on June 4, 1157. As a result, northeastern Rus' became independent in relation to Kyiv, and Andrei Bogolyubsky became the first elected prince. This is where parallels need to be drawn.

Later, the Grand Duchy of Vladimir, ruled by Andrei Bogolyubsky, became the Grand Duchy of Moscow. And it already served as the basis for an independent Russian state. This is how Kievan Rus fell apart, this is how it fell apart Soviet Union. Thank God that we managed to preserve the foundations of statehood in that distant time and in our recent past.

This year the main national holiday turns a quarter century old. Large-scale celebrations are planned for Russia Day 2017 in Moscow. We will tell you about the best events.
