Significant military dates of the year. Days of military glory


Days of military glory mean such memorable dates that are marked by the victory of our troops. But not a simple victory, but one that played an important role in the history of Russia. Memorial dates were first introduced in 2010 and since then they have been celebrated throughout the country. All these dates are worthy of being immortalized.

It is worth saying that the list of these events was established much earlier, in 1995 in February. That's why a law with the appropriate name was issued. These days, within the framework of the law, ceremonial events are organized, all of them are public and attract a lot of people. The Ministry of Defense is ordered to conduct festive fireworks twice a year: on February 23 and May 9. Each such event is financed by the federal budget.

There are other forms of how you can perpetuate the memory of soldiers killed in battles. Museums are created, monuments are erected, exhibitions are organized and large publications are made in magazines and newspapers. Some settlements, like streets, are named after the heroes of the country.

history of the holiday

All memorable dates occurred before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in the country, therefore, by modern standards, exactly thirteen days remain between the date when the event occurred and the date when it is celebrated according to the new style. This is exactly the difference between the calendars. In fact, the celebration takes place according to the old style, and not the new one.

Only one day on this list was an exception - the Battle of Chesme, which was introduced only in 2012. The difference was only 11 days and this is exactly the difference that exists between the modern calendar and the past. The situation is more complicated with the date of the Battle of the Ice and the Battle of Kulikovo. At that time there was no such thing as a new style or an old style, so their dates were not translated in the Gregorian calendar.

What are the traditions of Military Glory Day?

This is one of the best traditions that could ever be revived in the country. It is the Days of Military Glory that help us not to forget what role past battles and victories played for our future and present. Of course, not all dates could be indicated in the correct form, but this is not important, but what we remember and honor.

The main traditions include celebrations and fireworks on some days, noisy celebrations and patriotic events.
