What date are professional holidays. Professional holidays in Russia
For those who celebrate the day of the company in these two months, I will repeat our offer :-). We organize any holiday in nature, in a restaurant or in the office:

International Sports Journalist Day. Sports Journalists' Day is celebrated on July 2, the same day in 1924 that the International Sports Press Organization was founded in Paris.
3 July
Day of the GAI (Day of the traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation). A service that ensures our safety on the roads and ensures compliance with the rules traffic, was formed on June 3 of the distant 1936. And for seven decades now, the work of traffic police officers has been a respected and responsible profession.
1st Sunday of July
Day of workers of the sea and river fleet. Dreamers who have connected their lives with the seas and rivers celebrate their professional holiday on the first Sunday of July and carry out continuous work in one of the main sectors of the Russian economy.
July 11
Day of the lighting designer (Day of the light operator). It is with the help of light operators that all our holidays and events are filled with light. This became possible thanks to Alexander Lodygin, who received a patent for an incandescent lamp on July 11, 1874.
12 June
World Civil Aviation Flight Attendant Day. The employees of this romantic and very responsible profession guarantee the safety and comfort of passengers during the flight. Interestingly, this seemingly new specialty originated as early as 1928 with the first steward to board an aircraft.
2nd Sunday of July
Day of the fisherman. Since time immemorial, fishing has been not only a hobby, but also a way to feed yourself, and soon other people. Fishermen fill our tables with delicious, fresh fish and seafood, so they rightfully celebrate their professional holiday on the second Sunday of July.
2nd Sunday of July
Russian Post Day. Postal employees perform an important function, bringing together people who are far from each other. Mail was used a millennium ago, and under Peter I, a regular postal service began to form.

4th Saturday of July
Trade Workers Day in Russia. Trade is an area without which modern life would be impossible, and every fourth Saturday of July, the country honors those who have dedicated their lives to serving the population.
Last Sunday in July
Day of the Russian Navy. Perhaps one of the most memorable holidays both in the USSR and in modern Russia, which has the unspoken name of "Neptune's Day". The creation of a regular navy is the merit of Peter I, who for the first time built a full-fledged fleet, consisting of ships of various classes.
July 28th
Day of the PR-specialist. The relatively new profession of a public relations specialist has already received due recognition in Russia, and since 2003 a new professional holiday has appeared on the calendar.

1st Sunday of August
Railroad Day. The oldest professional holiday was established back in 1896 and tied to the birthday of Nicholas I, who was the first to start laying railways.
August 6
Day of the railway troops. Railway soldiers have been making a huge contribution to the victory with their work since the time of the Russian-Turkish war. On August 6, 1851, Emperor Nicholas I signed the "Regulations on the composition of the management of the St. Petersburg - Moscow Railway", which served as the basis for the emergence of the holiday.

August 15
Day of the archaeologist. This day is not dedicated to any discoveries and is not a state day, but this does not prevent archaeologists from celebrating their professional holiday - the day of enthusiasts, discoverers and researchers of ancient human cultures.
3rd Sunday of August
Russian Air Force Day. The holiday of employees of the air fleet of the Russian Federation has two sources at once: on August 12, 1921, Emperor Nicholas II ordered the formation of the first part of the air force in Russia, and on August 18, 1933, Stalin established the tradition of celebrating the Day of the USSR air fleet in the USSR.
August 27
Day of Russian cinema. It originates from August 27, 1919, when the new leadership of the country, understanding the need for the development of cinema, signed the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars (Council of People's Commissars) on the nationalization of the film industry in the country. Since then, cinema has undergone global changes, but we still love old Soviet films.
Last Sunday in August
Miner's Day. The day for honoring the courageous and dangerous profession was not chosen by chance: on August 31, 1935, a miner named Alexei Stakhanov exceeded the standard for coal mining by 14 times! Since then, the term "work in Stakhanov's way" has appeared.

Day of Reserves- January 11
For the first time, the Day of Reserves and National Parks began to be celebrated in 1997 at the initiative of the Wildlife Conservation Center and the World Wildlife Fund. January 11 was not chosen by chance. On this day in 1916, the first state reserve, Barguzinsky, was established in Russia. Today there are 100 nature reserves and 35 national reserves in the country.
Day of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation-January 12
On January 12, 1722, by decree of Peter the Great, the post of Prosecutor General was first established under the Senate. Thus, in the history of Russia, the institution of the prosecutor's office arose, initially in the person of "solicitor on state affairs" Pavel Yaguzhinsky. The Day of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation has been celebrated since 1996 by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
Established by Decree of the President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin in 1992 and is associated with a historical date - the beginning of the publication of the first Russian printed newspaper Vedomosti, founded by decree of Peter the Great. On January 13, 1703, the first issue of the Russian-language printed newspaper Vedomosti was published in Moscow, which was called: “Vedomosti about military and other matters worthy of knowledge and memory that happened in the Moscow State and in other surrounding countries.” This holiday was established to replace the "Day of the Soviet Press" - May 5, which was timed to coincide with the release of the first issue of the Bolshevik newspaper Pravda. January 13, the Day of the Russian Press, since 1997, the award of the President of Russia in the field of media and grants to support the projects of young journalists has been held.
Birthday of Russian Pipeline Troops-January 14
November 22, 1951 Chairman of the Council of Ministers I.V. Stalin signed a decree on the production of a prototype of a new generation pipeline. The Military Ministry of the USSR and the Minnefteprom were instructed to conduct its joint tests in the field. On January 14, 1952, on the basis of the adopted resolution, the Minister of War of the USSR Marshal of the Soviet Union A. M. Vasilevsky signed a directive in which it was prescribed to form the first separate fuel transfer battalion. The date of signing the directive became the birthday of the pipeline troops.
Engineering Troops Day -January 21
The day of the engineering troops was established by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 18, 1996, taking into account the historical traditions of the engineering troops, their contribution to the development of the country's defense potential. The history of the engineering troops of Russia takes its origins from the time of the Decree of Peter the Great of January 21, 1701 on the creation in Moscow of the "School of the Pushkar Order", which trained artillery officers and military engineers. Today, specialists for the engineering troops in Russia are trained by the Military Engineering University, founded on September 1, 1998 on the basis of the Military Engineering Academy named after V.V. Kuibyshev, with two branches - on the basis of the Tyumen and Nizhny Novgorod Orders of Lenin, the Red Banner Higher Military Engineering Command Schools.
Naval Navigator's Day-The 25th of January
Previously, Naval Navigator's Day was celebrated on the days of the spring (03/21) and autumn (09/23) equinoxes. It is on these days that you can accurately and without tools determine the cardinal points - the Sun at any point rises strictly in the east, and sets, respectively, in the west. But since 1997, in accordance with the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, the Day of the Navigator of the Navy has been celebrated on January 25, the day the Navigator Service of the Russian Navy was founded.
In November 1952, the Convention establishing the Customs Cooperation Council came into force. On January 26, 1953, the first session of the Customs Cooperation Council took place in Brussels, which in 1994 received its current name - the World Customs Organization. 17 European countries were represented at it by the heads of their customs services. Thirty years later, in 1983, this day was chosen as the annual holiday of the International Customs Day.
- February(International Bartender's Day, Russian Science Day, International Dentist's Day, Diplomatic Worker's Day, Aeroflot Day, Transport Police Day, International Mother Language Day, Defender of the Fatherland Day)
International Bartender's Day (Saint Amand's Day)-February 6
Bartender's Day is celebrated on February 6 on St. Amand's Day and has become a professional holiday for bartenders and restaurateurs in many countries. The patron saint of vintners and bartenders, Saint Amand, Bishop of Maastricht (584-679), became the official patron of vintners, wine merchants, brewers, bar and restaurant owners, and finally bar workers (from bartenders to dishwashers) due to his work to evangelize the wine regions France, Germany and Flanders. In Russia, this holiday has also taken root recently and is only becoming more popular every year.
Day of Russian Science-February 8
On February 8, 1724 (January 28, old style), by decree of the ruling Senate, by order of Peter I, the Academy of Sciences was founded in Russia. In 1925 it was renamed the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, and in 1991 - the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1999, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of June 7, a holiday of Russian scientists was established on this day - in this way the authorities marked the 275th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is important to note that in Soviet times Science Day was celebrated on the third Sunday of April. When choosing a date, they were guided by the fact that in 1918, between April 18 and 25, V.I. Lenin drew up an "Outline of a plan for scientific and technical work." To this day, many scientific teams celebrate Science Day "in the old way", that is, on the third Sunday of April
The tradition of celebrating February 9 "International Dentist Day" is gaining momentum around the world. Celebrate the Day of the dentist on February 9, the day of St. Apollonia. Apollonia is the daughter of a prominent Alexandrian official who believed in Christ. The persecutors of Christianity subjected Apollonia to severe torture, demanding to renounce his faith. When she refused to recant, all her teeth were pulled out and they threatened to burn her alive. Apollonia did not flinch in the face of death. She asked her to untie her so that she could kneel and comply with the demand of the crowd. When she was untied, the brave woman herself threw herself into the fire. This happened on February 9, 249. The suffering and Christian feat of Apollonia so impressed her contemporaries and descendants that a legend was born that one has only to pronounce the name of Apollonia, pray to her - and the toothache will subside.
This professional holiday was established by Decree of the President of Russia No. 1279 of October 31, 2002 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Russian Foreign Ministry. There is also a version among diplomats that the Diplomatic Worker's Day is celebrated on February 10, since it is on this day in 1549 that the earliest mention of the Posolsky Prikaz, the first foreign policy department of Russia, falls.
Aeroflot Day-second Sunday in February
February 9, 1923 is considered the birthday of the civil air fleet in Russia, when the Council of Labor and Defense adopted a resolution “On the organization of the Council for Civil Aviation” and “On the assignment of technical supervision of air lines to the Main Directorate of the Air Fleet”. In 1979, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Top. Council of the USSR established Aeroflot Day. It is celebrated annually on the second Sunday of February. This day is celebrated in Russia, not only as Aeroflot Day, but also as the birthday of Russian civil aviation as a whole.
Transport Police Day-February 18
On this day in 1919, a decree “On the organization of an interdepartmental commission for the protection of railways” was signed. This document was the first on the way to the creation of the protection of railway transport.
International Mother Language Day-February 21
International Mother Language Day, proclaimed by the UNESCO General Conference on November 17, 1999, has been observed every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
Defender of the Fatherland Day-February 23
On February 10, 1995, the State Duma of Russia adopted the federal law “On the Days of Military Glory of Russia”, in which this day is named as follows: “February 23 is the Day of the victory of the Red Army over the Kaiser troops of Germany in 1918 - Defender of the Fatherland Day.” Today, most Russian citizens tend to consider Defender of the Fatherland Day not so much as the anniversary of the great victory or the birthday of the Red Army, but as the day of real men. Defenders in the broadest sense of the word.

An extensive list of professional holidays once again proves that every profession and occupation can be prestigious and important. Each work has its own specifics and its calling. And to prove its worth, there are approved professional holidays.
What does professional holiday mean?
Unlike national and state holidays, professional holidays are not days off and are celebrated not by all categories of citizens, but only by those who belong to a particular profession.
So what holidays can be called professional? First of all, those that are approved by law by the government of a particular country. Of course, an approximate list, as well as a calendar with the dates of professional holidays in different states, has common features. Moreover, there are holidays that have an international status.
Depending on the specifics of the country, on the presence of natural resources on its territory and the basis for the development of a particular industry, representatives of various professions may or may not be present. The main thing is that such days are an additional reason to congratulate colleagues, friends and relatives and celebrate their professional achievements.
Why is it important to celebrate professional holidays?
This excellent tradition, which originated in the world for a long time, serves as an occasion to feel the significance of one's work and pride in one's work done. Every year there are more and more new professions that are added to the already existing list. And the main function of the new holidays is the creation of new social groups, the acceptance by society of a new social space and its representatives.
The main mission of any professional holiday is to unite employees into a single team, strengthen relationships, especially through the opportunity to get to know colleagues in a new informal setting.
In addition, a common celebration is an intermediate summing up of results, achievements, evaluation and awarding of the best, setting new goals and horizons.
In Russia and Ukraine, professional holidays are very fond of and they certainly congratulate colleagues, family members, and friends on them.

Gifts for professional holidays
Congratulating colleagues in an original and relevant way is the key to success and good mood. Giving a standard and ordinary gift is not interesting and trite. After all, I so want to note the value and peculiarity of a particular profession.
For example, a 3D pen, a very useful and unusual gadget, will be an excellent gift for an engineer and a mechanical engineer. And the postman, who is forced to deliver mail at any time of the year, day and night, and in any weather, will like a comfortable bag, good shoes or a shocker as a means of self-defense.
Professional motorists can be presented with a road coffee maker and other gadgets powered by a cigarette lighter, driving glasses or a car radio with their favorite discs.
Gifts for professional military holidays can be a commander's watch, a portrait on canvas, or a certificate to a shooting gallery for a shooting master class.
On and Teacher's Day, it is best to prepare a gift with your own hands with your child. This can be a supply for pens and pencils, a collage or a tree with portraits of pupils and students. Or you can present a book, an original notebook or an interesting textbook.
A tourist on his professional day can be presented with a compass, some of the mandatory equipment or camping furniture. In fact, there are a lot of useful devices for more comfortable tourism and travel.
If you need to congratulate an accountant on his professional holiday, the best gifts would be a hammock for legs, a money clip or a good leather purse, writing sets or an interestingly shaped paperweight.
