Defender of the Fatherland day is a national holiday!
For Russian people this is a day when as a tradition they honour veterans, lay flowers at memorable places, hold commemorating events and take part in concerts.
Earlier this day – 23rd of February – bore another name “Day of the Red Army and Navy”, later “Day of the Soviet Army and Navy”. Now it is called Defender of the fatherland day. But it preserved the same meaning. We congratulate all people who don’t feel indifferent to the history of our country!
