World Day of Russian Unity

September 21 is World Russian Unity Day. Russian people live in different parts of the world. The distinctive feature of our people has always been courage, will, courage. National unity and kinship are an integral part of the mentality of the Russian people. To unite all people born in Russia, or who consider it their Motherland and Fatherland, there is a separate holiday. This day is marked on the calendar as September 21, although the holiday is not yet official. The idea for the holiday appeared in the ROSS community. This is a political and public organization operating in Kyrgyzstan. In 2009, the International Initiative Committee announced its existence. It was he who initiated the creation of such a holiday. After 3 years of official discussions and confirmation of the idea, the holiday began to be celebrated on September 21. This happened for the first time in 2010. The organizer of the discussion was Alexander Ivanov, who works as the chairman of ROSS. He invited the youth committee, at the next forum held in St. Petersburg, to confirm their consent to hold this holiday in different countries. Representatives of Greece, Malta, Israel, Poland, and the CIS countries immediately agreed with this initiative. It is interesting that the United States also signed the Declaration unconditionally. Naturally, the signature of Russian representatives at the international forum under the document about the holiday was in the forefront. Alexander Ivanov's idea was received very enthusiastically. Young public figures, by their own admission, felt that with this decision, their agreement with the proposal of the ROSS chairman, they were creating a comfortable environment for communication between peoples, uniting not only Russian people, but also everyone who understands and loves this great nation. The declaration indicated the goals and objectives of creating the holiday: 1. Unification of all Russian people of the planet;2. Consolidation of Russian diasporas living outside of Russia;3. Strengthening the image of the Russian world, glorifying its power and strength;4. Propaganda of the Russian language and literature in the world;5. Protection of cultural values ​​of the Russian people. The date for celebrating the World Day of Russian Unity, September 21, was set on the basis of historical events that had a huge impact on the development and strengthening of our state: This holiday, although young, is gaining momentum very quickly. Every year the number of people celebrating Unity Day is growing. Youth organizations, with the support of government authorities, organize various festivals, exhibitions, and forums. All these events are not ignored by figures of art, culture, and cinema. We can only hope that World Russian Unity Day will soon become an official public holiday.
