Holidays in May

The fifth month of the year - a 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 the Day of International Workers' Solidarity and associate it with an event far removed from us - the performance of Chicago workers in 1886 for the establishment of an eight-hour working day in the United States. 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 willingly, 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 have even thought of 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 World War II 1941-1945, which we call the Great Patriotic War. The Nazis took to the next world 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 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 - it was 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 - 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 have their own offspring.
On May 20, an amazing holiday is celebrated in our country - Volga Day. It is brightly 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 also bore the name of 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. Indeed, over three hundred thousand people die every year from smoking in the world, and there is a tendency for an even higher 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 - all this is 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!

Advice: Anyone who does not leave for garden plots to dig the earth on this day, it's time to go for a picnic! Only in nature can you truly feel the charm of spring, and after the fire has been made, it is quite possible to celebrate (albeit not quite in Celtic) a festival of fire. As for postage stamps, for ordinary people this is a good reason to raise a toast on such a wonderful occasion. May 3 - World Press Freedom Day

Tip: Dedicate a literary party to such an important and, of course, amazing event, where the participants should be invited to write an ode to ... a folding umbrella. It is best to start composing an ode with a blank: "Oh, FOLDING UMBRELLA, you are the beginning of the beginning, You give love, drive away sorrow ...".

Further, all participants take turns composing two lines to the proposed beginning. Those who cannot come up with the next couplet give away forfeits, which are played out at the end of the evening. A real folding umbrella is presented to the winner of the literary tournament with all kinds of honors.

Tip: Until the long May holidays are over, it's time to go to Europe for a few days. When you are in Paris, be sure to get a bottle of Chanel No. 5 perfume. Moreover, the reason is very good.

Tip: We suggest throwing a party called "Radio Camomile". It is necessary to prepare for such a party: notify all those invited to the holiday in advance so that they prepare small entertainment programs that they plan to conduct on Radio Romashka, as well as pseudonyms for the presenters. The participants of the party also prepare musical selections themselves. Already during the event, a review of programs and presenters is held. The winners are awarded.

Tip: On such a momentous day, you can throw a party called "Urgency" for your friends. All participants in the event must complete several competitive tasks, for example, provide "first aid" for a broken leg or a burn. The assignments can be serious and humorous. For example, you can bandage not with bandages, but with toilet paper, etc. Instead of medication, we recommend giving the “victims” a glass of Coca-Cola.

Tip: Why not throw a denim party? Everything should be in denim: clothes, dishes, tablecloths and napkins. Run several "jeans contests":

1 - Your own fashion designer (to come up with and draw the most unusual outfit from jeans);

2 - Inventor (how else can you use jeans);

3 - Destroyer (whoever cuts and tears jeans into small pieces faster. The winner is the one with more pieces).

Advice: On this significant day, you can go to St. Petersburg. The trip itself is already a huge holiday, and if you take the Murzilka magazine with you on the road, you are guaranteed a lot of fun.

Tip: Why not remember your school years and physics lessons. Buy the "Young Physicist" set in the store and try to assemble electrical circuits on your own. Of course, it is not at all difficult for men to cope with such a task, so we recommend holding such a competition between the representatives of the weaker half. Everything that is said during such work can be recorded on a dictaphone, and after the end of the competition program you can listen to all this. The author of the most "eloquent" expression should certainly be awarded a prize.

Tip: Take a day to educate yourself and visit a museum. In many museums, on this day, there are large discounts on entrance tickets, and in some, the entrance is completely free. It is worth taking advantage of.

Advice: Think about how often you celebrate working days? Never? So, it's time to celebrate, otherwise you may find yourself in the ranks of those who are struggling with unemployment. Do you need it?

May 21st- International Space Day Advice: Not everyone can become an astronaut, but on such a holiday a childhood dream calls for new achievements, so it makes sense to try to at least partially bring the dream closer to reality. On this holiday you can jump with a parachute. Adrenaline and a feeling of complete freedom in flight are guaranteed to you.

Advice: If your school years are far behind you, and your soul still requires a holiday, then you can get together with a cheerful company and play "school", for example, conduct a Russian language lesson and write a dictation. When you check your mistakes, you will laugh heartily, especially if you take some funny text for dictation.

Advice: A good excuse to go to the library for once and for all and hand over books that have not been "given out" for a whole year. And then you can celebrate this event. And how happy the library staff will be, you cannot even imagine!

May 31- World No Tobacco Day Tip: Good reason to try to quit smoking for the thirty-third time. What if it works out?

The day the Moon has a phase near the 1st quarter, falling in the interval from mid-April to mid-May - Astronomy Day

Tip: You can go to the planetarium or just read the horoscope. What is not a reason for the holiday?

At the call of the UN General Assembly, since 1993, all UN member states have celebrated World Press Freedom Day on May 3. The UN General Assembly made this decision on the basis of the resolution of the General Conference of UNESCO, which unequivocally spoke in favor of the fact that only a democratic, independent and free press is a necessary part of a democratic society, without which this society cannot fully develop.
The date of May 3 was chosen due to the fact that in 1991 in the capital of Namibia, Windhoek, representatives of the African press, developed a Declaration, in which they called on all countries to ensure the independence and freedom of the press for the democratic development of any country. This Declaration was supported by the General Conference of UNESCO, and then by the UN General Assembly.
The highlight of World Free Press Day is the presentation of the Guillermo Cano Prize, a Colombian journalist who died in 1986, to organizations or individuals. In addition, events are held in memory of the dead journalists, and events to convince people of the need for a free and democratic press.

May 5 celebrate their professional holiday, people of one of the most mysterious professions - ransomware. The purpose of their activity is to hide information that should not be read by people who are not admitted to this information. Although the cryptographic service in Russia existed for a very long time, May 5 was set as the date of its foundation and the establishment of a professional ransomware holiday. In 1921, on May 5, the Cryptographic Service was established, which was supposed to provide government, party bodies, military formations and foreign institutions with closed communications.
Cryptography, or "cryptography" from Greek, appeared long before our era. Pharaohs and rulers of other states did not want to let outsiders into their secrets. Various mechanisms have been developed to hide information. But all these are rather primitive developments that quickly gave in to decryption. Although cryptographic science did not stand still and was constantly developing, both in the West and in Asia, ciphers were not widely used. Mostly they were used by royals. And the ciphers were simple one-alphabetic replacement ciphers. Although amazing ciphers were developed that arouse the admiration of modern specialists.

May 6 - Day of Remembrance of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious. This is one of the most revered saints in Russia. His image, in which he performs one of his miracles, is on the coat of arms of Russia.
Saint George was born in Cappadocia (modern Turkey), into a family of pious Christians. But after his father was killed, he and his mother flee to Palestine. Here Saint George receives his education and enters the military service. Courage and courage immediately distinguish Saint George, and he quickly moves up the career ladder and becomes an approximate of the emperor Diocletian himself. But Diocletian is distinguished by cruel persecution of Christians. Feeling that he cannot continue his double life, Saint George comes to Diocletian and confesses his faith in Christ. After Saint George was subjected to monstrous tortures, but did not renounce his faith, on May 6, 303, they cut off the head of the holy great martyr.

On May 7, all communications workers in Russia celebrate their professional holiday - Radio Day. There are still debates about who invented the radio - the Italian Marconi or the Russian Popov. But we are patriots, so we give the palm in the creation of radio to Alexander Stepanovich Popov.
May 7, 1895 A.S. Popov, at a meeting of the physics department of the Russian Physicochemical Society in St. Petersburg, demonstrated to his colleagues a wireless radio system with which it was possible to exchange signals.
The first solemn celebration of Radio Day took place only in 1925. Until this day, various circumstances interfered with celebrating the holiday - the Russian-Japanese won, the First World War, the Civil War. It was only in 1925 that the situation developed in which it was possible to celebrate Radio Day. The main events took place at the Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute (LETI), where A.S. Popov has worked all his life. The festivities were held on a large scale. Several celebrations were held, the name of Popov was given to radio stations and laboratories, and even stamps were issued. Subsequent anniversaries were held on an equal scale.
With the development of digital technologies, radio communications have received a new content - cellular communications, wireless Internet, digital television, satellite communications, and many more applications have been found for the good old radio.

May 8 - International Day of the Red Cross and Red Crescent

May 8 is the International Day of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. This date was chosen in honor of the Swiss doctor and humanist Henri Dunant, who was born on this day in 1828, and thanks to whose efforts this humanitarian organization was created.
Encouraging Dunant to create an organization to help wounded soldiers, were the events that he became an unwitting witness. Heading to Northern Italy, Dunant witnessed the Battle of Solferino, in which the Austrians and Italian-French forces fought. The total losses in the battle amounted to about forty thousand people killed and wounded. But most of all he was shocked by the fact that at the end of the battle, no help was provided to the wounded. They were simply carried to a small village and left there.

9th May. Victory Day. A tragic and bright holiday not only for Russians, but also in all countries that were former, once union republics. On May 9, 1945, the hardest test in the history of Russia ended. Huge loss of life, ruined economy, lack of everything and everyone. And yet, for the people of that generation, it was the most joyful holiday. Because peace has come, and now there will be no need to sharpen shells and collect tanks, but it will be necessary to sow grain and calmly raise children, without fear of another bombing. It will be necessary to go to schools and institutes again, to build houses and factories.
Over the years, the tragedy and severity of those years subside. Every year there are fewer veterans who could tell the truth about those harsh days. But it is our sacred duty to preserve and pass on to future generations the sacred memory of the most difficult years of the Great Patriotic War and the price that was paid for VICTORY!

May 10 - Day of the bank worker of Kyrgyzstan

Any state cannot do without its own banking and monetary systems. Well, since people work in banks, they should also have a professional holiday. On May 10, Kyrgyzstan celebrates Bank Worker's Day. True, it was established for a different reason. On May 10, 1993, Kyrgyzstan introduced its own monetary unit, called the som, into circulation.
Over the years of independence and the gradual development of the banking system, banknotes in Kyrgyzstan have changed several times. Banknotes of the third series are currently in circulation in the country. With each new series, banknotes become of higher quality, and their counterfeiting becomes more and more difficult.
On the holiday, high-ranking managers congratulate the banking sector employees, the most distinguished employees are awarded.

May 13 celebrates the holiday of one of the most honored and oldest Russian naval fleets - the Black Sea. It was established by Presidential Decree in 1996. The creation of the Black Sea Fleet began with the annexation of the Crimea to Russia. The corresponding manifesto was published by Empress Catherine II in April 1783. Then, to protect the new possessions, on May 13, 1783, the ships of the Azov flotilla were brought into the Akhtiar Bay of Crimea. And six months later, the city of Sevastopol was founded in this bay, which for many years became the main base of the Black Sea Fleet.

Even in Apostolic times, the celebration of the Day of the Descent of the Holy Spirit was established, but the holiday entered the Christian calendar officially only at the end of the fourth century, when the Church adopted the dogma of the Trinity at the Second Ecumenical Council in Constantinople in 381.

Personnel Day is celebrated annually in Russia on May 24. This holiday appeared in 2005 at the initiative of the All-Russian Personnel Congress. The personnel department is a structure that exists in almost any enterprise.
The date of May 24 was chosen for the reason that in 1835 in tsarist Russia on this day a decree was issued "On the relationship between the owners of factory establishments and workers who come to them for hire." This was the first document in our country that regulated the relationship between an employer and an employee. This decree in Russia for the first time officially defined the rights and obligations of the parties. His appearance put an end to strife and infringement of the rights of employees.
Today, in any, even a small company, there is an employee who is responsible for working with personnel. In large companies, entire departments are engaged in this, in which dozens of employees work.

Holiday on May 26 - Day of Russian Entrepreneurship

In connection with the new direction of the political and economic development of Russia in the post-Soviet period, entrepreneurship for our country has become a key area of ​​development for all spheres of our life. As a result, the President of Russia V.V. Putin signed the Decree No. 1381 (D) "On the Day of Russian Entrepreneurship" dated October 18, 2007. At the same time, the day of entrepreneurship was determined for May 26. Since 2007, May 26 is celebrated annually as the day of entrepreneurship.
At the moment, the day of entrepreneurship is celebrated throughout the country, as a rule, in a more business-like manner, which is typical of this holiday. Often on this day, forums, exhibitions, fairs and round tables devoted to the problems of development and work of small and medium-sized businesses are appointed. Today the Day of Entrepreneurship has become an inevitable historical development of our country with a certain chosen political course. Nowadays, it is a shame to realize, but dependence on financial resources in any industry (not even commercial) is one of the key problems. The tasks and resources of entrepreneurship are inextricably linked with the goal of ensuring the priority needs of society and healthy production in the whole country, aimed at maintaining and existence of a competitively capable highly intelligent business.

May 27 All-Russian Day of Libraries (Librarian Day)

One of the holidays in May, namely May 27, was established by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation B. N. Yeltsin No. 539 of May 27, 1995 as the "All-Russian Day of Libraries". May 27 is also the Librarian's Day. The day of the librarian was appointed to the day of the opening of the first public library in Russia. (May 27, 1975) At that time, the collection of the public library was the personal library of the Russian emperor. At the moment, information about the first library in Russia created by Yaroslav the Wise in 1037 at the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev has been preserved. Today, unfortunately for libraries, the popularity and popularity of libraries is falling. This is due to the development of new technologies (mass media, the Internet, electronic publications) and alternative sources of information. With such dynamics of technology development, assumptions about the role of libraries in the future come only as historically informational objects. Libraries will be a kind of museums for books and reflecting the attitude of society to knowledge, art and human experience, collected in these books for a certain period of time, and an exclusively informational role in the future will apparently remain with electronic networks.

May 28 - Day of the border guard

The first who, in the event of a threat to the country, will hold back the strike and stand guard on the borders of our homeland on weekdays are the border troops. May 28 is designated as the day of the border guard. In the former Soviet Union, Border Guard Day was celebrated since May 28, 1958 and was appointed due to the fact that on May 28, 1918, the Border Guard of the RSFSR was established by the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars.

There is always an alternative, but many think otherwise, in their opinion, the harm from smoking has not yet been proven, but the disadvantages of non-smokers deprived of this "pleasure" in tobacco are obvious.
The World Health Organization declared May 31 as World No Tobacco Day in 1988. The world community was tasked with ensuring that the problem of tobacco smoking disappeared in the 21st century. The 21st century has arrived, but the problem has not disappeared.

May 16 - the first Oscars ceremony took place

The most famous and prestigious award in the world of cinematography is the American Film Academy Award. It was conceived by the head of one of the most influential American film companies - "MGM" - Louis Mayer. And for the first time the prize was presented on May 16, 1929 in Hollywood. For the first ten years, the award did not have any special name.
Its name - "Oscar", was awarded in 1939. Several people argue about the priority of the name of the award, but we will not voice their version. Since the first Oscars, it has always been broadcast by the media. At first it was radio, now it is television. And many tens of millions of people are watching the ceremony.

Spring and Labor Day - this is the name of the holiday, which is celebrated on May 1. In the Soviet Union, this day had a different name - Workers' Solidarity Day. Times change, and the names of holidays also change.
Workers' Solidarity Day was established at the II Congress of the International, held in Paris in 1889. And it was established in honor of the Chicago workers, who went on a demonstration on May 1, 1886, demanding only an eight-hour working day. Unfortunately, the authorities responded with a brutal and bloody crackdown on the demonstration. At the Congress of the International, in memory of these bloody events, it was decided to hold annual demonstrations with economic demands. And the very next year, in 1890, a wave of workers' demonstrations swept across Europe and America, as a sign of solidarity among all the working people of the world.
In modern Russia, the holiday has lost its political connotation. This is more of a walk in the fresh air than a demonstration. In other countries, May 1 remains the day of workers' struggle for their rights, and it is celebrated in more than sixty countries.
