It is consistently associated with the beginning of the school year, both in schools and in other educational institutions. But the biggest celebration, of course, is held at school. The morning of each student begins with a ruler, on which the director applies to them, congratulates on the beginning of the school year, welcomes first-graders and wishes everyone success.

But if you turn to the story, then this day was not always. And even academic year began on the first of September. Only in the mid-thirties of the last century, an accurate date of commencement of the school year in schools, technical schools and universities was introduced. But the official holiday has become even later - already in 1984, when it was brought to the corresponding decree.

Day of the Second World War - September 2

The capitulation of Germany in May 1945 put an end to the intervention and war in the territory of the European continent, but the Allied Troops of Japan, who supported Hitler in his war continued on the other side. The Soviet Union in Potsdam and Yalta conferences gave a promise to declare war from Japan and support allies in the fight against the enemy.

Following this word, the Troops of the USSR entered the battle with the Japanese army and won a somewhat crushing for the enemy, not only throwing them deep into the front line, but also freed the significant territories of China Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands. The victim defeat and having lost the main offensive forces, Japan was forced to surrender. The act of surrender was signed on September 2, 1945 on board the Missouri ship Paul Flag of the United States in the presence of representatives of the military union countries. This finally ended the Second World War, which lasted long six years.

According to historians estimates, almost two billion people and millions of units of equipment and aviation were involved in the battle of the Second World War, and therefore it remains the largest military-political collision of the two coalitions of countries.

In memory of those soldiers who took part in the battles with the Japanese army and showed heroism and the valor in the fight against the enemy was approved by the holiday - September 2. But over time, the USSR was abolished, and with the collapse of the country returned to the calendar as one of the days of military glory of Russia. However, this holiday is not among the weekend in September 2017.

The battle of Borodino was to become decisive in the entire offensive campaign of Napoleon in 1812, however, having met seriously resistance from Russian troops, he never achieved the goal - Russia did not capitulate and dictate the conditions of the world so and did not succeed, and after the emperor Napoleon and at all had to retreat and recognize his defeat.

According to the estimates of researchers for twelve hours of battle, the French army lost a quarter of its composition, while Russian is one third. During the fight, the French managed to push the soldiers under the leadership of Kutuzov from their positions, and take several strategic heights. However, after they retreated to their positions, and Kutuzov himself declared a retreat due to serious losses and lack of reserves for repeating the battle. Nevertheless, both commander - Emperor Napoleon and General Kutuzov - recorded a fight with Borodino into their victories. Napoleon believed that his soldiers showed inhuman heroism and valor, but the Russians were worthy opponents in this battle. And Kutuzov also noted that the French still retreated at their position after the battle.
