Holidays in May
The fifth month of the year - the harbinger of the onset of summer - is rich in holidays, significant and important events both in the history of our Fatherland and the entire planet. Their number reaches almost five dozen, among which we will try to find our bearings.
May 1 is called differently in the world. We have declared it since 1992 as the Holiday of Spring and Labor. Other countries celebrate it as International Workers' Solidarity Day and associate it with an event far removed from us - the performance in 1886 by Chicago workers for the establishment of an eight-hour working day... About eighty thousand representatives of the proletariat took part in the action of solidarity. In memory of this, the Socialist Congress in Paris, held in 1889, initiated the Day of International Workers' Solidarity. In the USSR, the holiday was celebrated on a grand scale - with colorful mass demonstrations, May Day, rallies and the like. And now all this is taking place. But most of all, Russians spend the spring holiday at their dachas, preparing land for a new harvest, and after working actively in the beds and hundred parts, they are not averse to trying shish kebab with heat and heat, beer, or even something stronger.
But on May 3, the International Day of the Sun comes to us. Its average distance from the Earth exceeds 149 million kilometers, depending on where the star is located in its orbit. But it is to him that we owe our existence. That is why the European Solar Energy Society (ESSE) established this wonderful holiday in 1994. The possibilities of the star closest to us are endless. It is both light, and therefore life itself, gives us, and maybe by the power of its solar wind, it can rapidly move spacecraft across the Universe. People even thought of before solar panels placed on roofs, and lighting diode and other bulbs in our houses, heating water and creating other conveniences for us.
May 9 is a special date in the history of mankind. It is associated with the final defeat of fascism in the Second World War of 1941-1945, which we call the Great Patriotic War. The Nazis claimed more than 52 million human lives, including Germany itself. They literally ruined the economies of many countries. But on May 8, 1945, they surrendered to the mercy of the winners. On this historic day near Berlin, German Field Marshal V. Keitel, Marshal of the USSR Georgy Zhukov and Air Marshal of the Kingdom of Great Britain A. Tedder signed the act of unconditional surrender of Germany, which suffered a crushing defeat in the war that they began in accordance with their hellish plan. Barbarossa. On June 24, 1945, a grandiose Victory Parade took place on Red Square in Moscow. Fascist banners were thrown at the foot of the Mausoleum. May 9 is widely celebrated all over the world today.
On May 13, the Russian Federation widely celebrates the Day of its Black Sea Fleet. The holiday was established in 1996. In general, one of the world's most powerful flotillas is more than three hundred years old! We remember the names of Fyodor Ushakov, Pyotr Nakhimov, Mikhail Lazarev and other compatriot military leaders who inscribed the great victories of sailors under their leadership in the naval battles of the Russian-Turkish and Crimean wars. The Chornomorians distinguished themselves with valor both in the First World War and in the Great Patriotic War. The holiday is connected with another memorable event - exactly on May 13, but far from us in 1783, the Azov flotilla of eleven of our ships entered the Akhtiar Bay. Now this bay is called Sevastopol.
May 15 is International Family Day. This holiday was established in 1993 by the General Assembly of the United Nations. It is widely celebrated in Russia as well. The family is the primary unit of any society. Her task is to give birth to and educate the future of the planet, children. In Russia, families are trying to surround them with warmth and care. Maternity capital is actively used to improve demographics. In the coming years, the problem of kindergartens should be completely resolved. Secondary schools, colleges, institutes, universities and other educational institutions are designed to ensure that Russian children grow up educated, well prepared for adulthood, and then got their own offspring.
On May 20, an amazing holiday is celebrated in our country - Volga Day. She is vividly sung by our wonderful Lyudmila Zykina. This truly national song is performed with pleasure all over the world and in different languages. And the holiday was initiated by the International Socio-Ecological Union, the Moscow office of the UNESCO Bureau and the commercial firm "Coca-Cola, HBC Eurasia".
May 24 - Personnel Officer Day. This profession is very important for the national economy. Almost every reputable production has a personnel department. He forms a team, that is, he selects and places personnel, works on improving their qualifications, organizes the exchange of experience.
May 27 - All-Russian Day of Libraries. Installed by the President of the Russian Federation and timed to coincide with the creation of the first State Public Library in Russia in 1795, which was also named after the Imperial Public Library, and now received the status of the National Library. Books are a source of knowledge, a keeper of invaluable information on the history of human development. Today they also exist in electronic versions. In recent years, the craving for reading books has increased markedly. Personal home libraries are also being replenished. The USSR was the most reading country in the world! Now this trend is becoming more and more evident in Russia.
Well, and finally May 31 - World No Tobacco Day. This event is very relevant. After all, over three hundred thousand people die annually from smoking in the world, and there is a tendency towards even more high growth... Almost one hundred percent of the cause of lung cancer is smoking. Two packs of cigarettes are enough to send a person to the next world. The only thing that saves you is that there are breaks in smoking. And if one after another, then the end will certainly be sad. Secondhand smoking is also harmful. This is when some smoke, while other non-smokers are forced to inhale the smoke. Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, coronary heart disease are all the result of a bad habit. And the sooner a person ends her, the more he will be soundly healthy and live a long time!
Before you read this section, I would like to quote the lines of a classic:
Every case
The smell is special:
The bakery smells
Dough and baking.
Past the carpentry
You go to the workshop, -
Smells like shavings
And a fresh board ...
This work most accurately conveys the importance of each individual profession and all taken together.

Day of Russian Science-8 february
On February 8, 1724 (January 28, old style), the Academy of Sciences was founded in Russia by the decree of the ruling Senate by order of Peter I. In 1925 it was renamed the USSR Academy of Sciences, 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 - thus 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 in April. When choosing the date, they were guided by the fact that in 1918, between April 18 and 25, V.I. Lenin drew up a "Sketch of a plan for scientific and technical work." Until today, many research teams celebrate Science Day "as before", that is, on the third Sunday in April
The tradition of celebrating February 9, "International Day of the Dentist", is gaining momentum all over 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 came to believe in Christ. The persecutors of Christianity subjected Apollonius to cruel tortures, demanding the renunciation of his faith. When she refused to recant, they pulled out all her teeth and threatened to burn her alive. Apollonia did not flinch in the face of death. She asked her to be untied in order to kneel down and fulfill the demand of the crowd. When she was untied, the brave woman threw herself into the fire. It happened on February 9, 249. The suffering and Christian feat of Apollonia so amazed 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.
