Calendar for February 2018
An interesting story of this holiday. Why do we celebrate on February 23 that day? The origins of the Day of the Soviet Army and the Navy should be sought in 1918. It was then that the decrees on the creation of the Red Army and the Red Fleet were signed. But none of these laws were signed on February 23. The Red Army was created on January 28, and the Red Fleet was February 11.
It was believed that on this day - February 23 - the Red Army won a major victory over the German troops under Pskov and Narva. At least until 2002, the official name of the holiday sounded this way: "The Day of the Victory of the Red Army over the Kaiser Troops of Germany in 1918 is the Day of Defender of the Fatherland." But later, this historical fact was considered unreliable, and the holiday was just called the "Day of Defender of the Fatherland". So old and unknown why the Day of Defender of Fatherland is celebrated on this day. There are different assumptions, but they still remain at version level.
But for millions of Russians on February 23 is just a male day. The holiday knights is not by rank, but by calling - large and small, military and civilian. Those who protect their fatherland daily are not as much from the enemies of external, as from the internal attacks. The holiday of those for whom you can rely on and who can be trusted. And what day to celebrate him, and how will it be called, maybe not so important?
