dated 01.01.2001 N 320-FZ)

(Preamble as amended by Federal Law No. 98-FZ of January 1, 2001)

Article 1. Days of military glory of Russia

The following days of Russian military glory are established in the Russian Federation:

Article 2. Forms of perpetuating the memory of Russian soldiers

The main forms of perpetuating the memory of Russian soldiers who distinguished themselves in battles associated with the days of Russian military glory are:

the creation and preservation of memorial museums, the establishment and improvement of monuments, obelisks, steles, other memorial structures and objects that perpetuate the days of Russia's military glory, the organization of exhibitions, the installation of memorial signs at places of military glory;

preservation and development of territories historically associated with the exploits of Russian soldiers who distinguished themselves in battles associated with the days of Russia's military glory;

The history of Russia is filled with glorious events that directly relate to the glory of the Russian army and Russian weapons. And so that the descendants at all times remember the dates glorious for the Russian army, at the state level days of military glory of Russia.

Holiday "Day of Military Glory of Russia"

At all times in Russia, serving in the army was considered an honorable thing. After all, a soldier and an officer, a governor and a standard-bearer were considered the defenders of their native land. The church has always patronized the Russian army, blessing it for the feat of arms to save the Motherland from foreign invaders.

Glorious are the victories of the Russian soldiers who had a decisive influence on the outcome of the war. Always the Russian army, without giving up positions to the last living soldier, aroused admiration from the enemy for its stamina, determination and courage. Generals and commanders were famous for their talent and ability to manage troops, which always contributed to glorious victories over the enemy.

In order to perpetuate the glorious Russian army and its victories for centuries, in March 1995, a law was passed "On the days of military glory and memorable dates in Russia". The law clearly spelled out what functions the state performs regarding the organization and direct holding of events on the specified dates. In addition, the legal document determines that the celebrations on the day of military glory of Russia are financed from the state budget.

The history of the celebration of the days of military glory of Russia

Previously, such an event was not observed at all. But in 1995, in order to increase the prestige of military service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as well as the patriotic education of the population, a corresponding law was adopted. The Federal Law determined the dates that will remain in the memory of the people for centuries as a feat. Events were chosen that included not only Soviet history, but also historical victories during the Russian Empire, Muscovy, and Kievan Rus.

Every year, the list of celebrations for each day of Russia's military glory is determined by Presidential Decrees and other legal documents, both at the federal and local levels. Each city celebrates the holiday in a different way.

These days, celebrations are taking place in military units all over Russia on the occasion of great victories. Salutes are celebrated only on May 9, Victory Day over Nazi Germany, and on February 23, Defender of the Fatherland Day. But if the memorable date is an anniversary, as, for example, in 2009, the 300th anniversary of the victory of the army of Peter the Great over the Swedes near Poltava, then, of course, the list of planned events increases significantly. Including festive fireworks over the sky of large cities, the dark blue heights are colored.

Historical reconstructions have become very popular in recent years. And every year the number of volunteers taking part in the actions increases, which ensures maximum historical accuracy. History buffs from all over the Russian Federation and neighboring countries create or order special uniforms for themselves that fully correspond to the uniform or military attire of a particular time. The organizers of the action study historical sources for a long time and create a battle plan, after which they determine and distribute roles.

Also on the Day of Military Glory of Russia, museums open their doors to everyone, arrange exhibitions and expositions dedicated to the historical event. Entrance is often free for children and military personnel.

During the celebration of the great victories of the Great Patriotic War, it is considered a tradition to hold demonstration performances by military personnel. In addition, in parks and squares, everyone can taste soldier's porridge cooked in the field kitchen. Military equipment: modern and rare, put on public display. Children are allowed to climb and study military equipment, get behind the wheel of vehicles and turn various handles, press buttons (everything is prudently de-energized and discharged).

And of course, everyone associates a military holiday with a parade. At the moment, of all the days of military glory, the parade is held only on May 9th. But again, a corresponding decree may determine the holding of a military parade on another day.

Days of military glory of Russia: dates and events

Every holiday hides behind it a significant moment for Russian weapons, when the enemy was defeated, put to flight or received irreparable damage, thanks to the courage and bravery of soldiers and commanders.
