Russia day

June 12th is celebrated as Russia Day, a national holiday that marks a significant turning point in the country’s modern history. It commemorates the declaration of state sovereignty of the Russian Federation, which was adopted on June 12, 1990. This date symbolizes the beginning of democratic reforms and the establishment of a new political system in post-Soviet Russia.

On this day, official ceremonies are held across the country. The President of Russia often gives a speech, and state awards are presented to outstanding citizens for their contributions to society. In cities and towns, concerts, parades, and cultural events are organized. The celebration often ends with fireworks in the evening.

For many Russians, June 12th is not only a day off but also a moment to reflect on the country’s path, its achievements, and the challenges it still faces. Although opinions about the holiday may vary, it is generally seen as a time to express national pride and hope for a better future.
