History of the Russian Day holiday
In 1990, on June 12, at the first congress of people's deputies of the RSFSR, the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the RSFSR was adopted. Two years later, the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation adopted a resolution according to which a new holiday appeared in the country - “The Day of Adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Federation.” Its second name is Independence Day. The adoption of the declaration was the beginning of a new era in the life of the state, which has an interesting history, and its people have enormous will, which has been confirmed more than once in the most difficult moments of life.
In 1998, head of state Boris Yeltsin proposed renaming the holiday “Russia Day.” After the new Labor Code was adopted in 2002, this name remained with this holiday.
In 2018, Russia Day falls on Tuesday. But since the working day of June 11 was moved by government decision to Saturday, June 9, Russians will rest for three days - from June 10 to June 12 inclusive.
Festive programs are being prepared especially for Russia Day, which include a variety of events - from patriotic rallies and activist gatherings to grandiose concerts, festivals, sports competitions and fireworks.
On June 12, the Kremlin hosts a ceremony for presenting state awards by the President of the Russian Federation: recognition at the highest level of Russians’ talent, successes and skills is an unchanging tradition of Russia Day.
