Independence Day of Russia

1. Independence Day of Russia

2.

On June 12 our country celebrates the
important national holiday – Russia
Day, or Day of adoption of Declaration
on state sovereignty of Russia, as it
was called this festival until 2002. This
is one of the "youngest" state holidays
in the country.

This holiday appeared in Russia
recently. It is celebrated throughout
the country and has a state value,
which gave him Boris Nikolaevich
Yeltsin - the first President of the
Russian Federation. The history of it,
as already mentioned, began with the
adoption of the Declaration on the
sovereignty of Russia, which was
signed in 1990, June 12, at the first
meeting of people's deputies. Later
this day began to call independence
Day. The authorities of the Russian
Federation declared sovereignty of the
country to ensure that every citizen felt
confident in their future and had the
inviolable right to a worthy life, free
development and use of language.

Due to the fact that June 12 was
designated the official holiday, for
many it became just the weekends,
when with his whole family they can go
somewhere and relax, work in the
garden suburban area. Despite this, in
many cities of Russia were lush
celebrations, but any specific
magnitude of this holiday in those
days was not observed.
