August 1: All-Russian collector's day
August 1 is celebrated as All-Russian Cash Cashier's Day. Cash collectors are people on whom the reliability and safety of funds and material assets largely depends. The work of a cash collector is extremely difficult. He must be, as they say, a jack of all trades: not only an experienced security guard, but also a cashier who knows all forms of documents necessary for the transfer of valuables, stamps, and details. He is also a specialist in working with complex banking equipment (ATMs of various designs, electronic exchange offices) and, finally, a loader. After all, packaged valuables can be very heavy, weighing up to 50 kilograms (for example, coins - revenue from car fleets or bullions of precious metals) or, conversely, fragile (cassettes in ATMs). In 1988, the service acquired the status of an independent legal entity, subordinate to the Bank of Russia and being its structural entity. The duties of cash collectors include collecting, guarding and delivering cash and other valuables to the bank's cash desk. The word "collection" comes from the Italian incassare, which means "to put in a box."

August 15: Archaeologist's Day
Despite the fact that the history of this holiday is not connected with any events or discoveries and it is not a state or official holiday, archaeologists celebrate it as a professional holiday. Archeology is a completely separate science. All historical events are established either from written sources or from archaeological data. Very, very few written messages are preserved, and sometimes more everyday material than one can imagine. In Russia, this science began to develop in the middle of the 19th century, when Count Alexei Sergeevich Uvarov became interested in archeology. At first, he did not have the slightest idea about the technology of excavation. But it was his research that formed the basis for the further development of the science of antiquities.

1 September is the day of knowledge
On September 1, Russia celebrates an exciting and wonderful holiday - Knowledge Day. In all centuries, people have strived for knowledge, studied, taught, and only on September 1, 1984, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR officially established September 1 as a holiday - Knowledge Day. September 1 is a holiday for all of us, which every year brings together people of different generations and different professions.
September 2: Russian Guard Day
September 3: Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism
September 3 is a tragic date in the calendar of Russian holidays. September 3 is one of the memorable dates in Russia, which is called the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism. The Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism was established by the federal law “On the Days of Military Glory of Russia” dated July 6, 2005. This date is associated with the tragic events in Beslan on September 1-3, 2004.

Day of Remembrance for Victims of Fascism
The Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Fascism is the Day of Remembrance of tens of millions of people who perished as a result of a gigantic, inhuman experiment. These are millions of soldiers whom the fascist leaders pitted against each other, but even more - civilians who died under bombs, from disease and from hunger. There is no country that would benefit from the rule of the Nazis, there is no nation that would be enriched materially or spiritually as a result of their rule. Since 1962, it has been customary to consider every second Sunday in September as the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism. This day was determined specifically in September, since this month marks two dates associated with the Second World War - the day of its beginning and its complete end. This was one of the reasons for establishing a day of mourning on a September Sunday.
Programmer's Day
Programmer's Day is an unofficial holiday of programmers, celebrated on the 256th day of the year. The number 256 (two to the eighth power) was chosen because it is the number of numbers that can be expressed using a single byte. In leap years this holiday falls on September 12, in non-leap years - on September 13.
September 18: Secretary's Day
There is no official professional holiday for secretaries in Russia. But an initiative group of secretaries from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Taganrog, Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk and Perm and the editors of the magazine “[email protected]” decided to correct this injustice and establish the “Secretary’s Day” holiday, which is proposed to be held every third Friday in September.
September 20:
Usually, parents scare young children who do not show diligence in their studies with the fate of a janitor in the future. However, every professional is important for the country, be it a doctor or a shoemaker.
Professional holidays in Russia
Some dates are celebrated on a grand scale throughout the country, others are celebrated modestly, in a narrow circle of like-minded people, associates and family members. And there are days marked by the state, but known to a few; even the culprits themselves sometimes do not know when their work can be officially glorified.
It’s all over the place, but in Mother Russia people love to take a walk. So why not hit yourself in the chest at least once a year, boasting of your knowledge, experience and self-importance?! So smart men made a calendar professional holidays in Russia. Let's be curious about when workers in which industries are supposed to take a walk.

An extensive list of professional holidays once again proves that every profession and occupation can be prestigious and important. Each work has its own specificity and its own calling. And to prove its worth, there are approved professional holidays.
What does it mean to have a professional holiday?
Unlike national and state holidays, professional holidays are not days off and are celebrated not by all categories of citizens, but only by those who belong to a particular profession.
So what holidays can be called professional? First of all, those that are legally approved by the government of a particular country. Of course, the approximate list, as well as the calendar with the dates of professional holidays in different countries, has common features. Moreover, there are holidays that have international status.
Depending on the specifics of the country, the presence of natural resources on its territory and the basis for the development of a particular industry, representatives of different professions may be present or absent. The main thing is that such days are an additional reason to congratulate colleagues, friends and family and celebrate their professional achievements.
Why is it important to celebrate professional holidays?
This excellent tradition, which originated in the world quite a long time ago, serves as a reason to feel the significance of your work and pride in your work done. Every year new professions appear and are added to the existing list. And the main function of new holidays is the creation of new social groups, the acceptance by society of a new social space and its representatives.
The main mission of any professional holiday is to unite employees into a single team, strengthen relationships, especially through the opportunity to meet colleagues in a new informal setting.
In addition, the general celebration is an intermediate summing up of results, achievements, evaluation and rewarding of the best, outlining new goals and horizons.
In Russia and Ukraine, they love professional holidays and certainly congratulate colleagues, family members, and friends on them.

Gifts for professional holidays
Congratulating colleagues in an original and relevant way is the key to success and Have a good mood. Giving a standard and ordinary gift is uninteresting and banal. After all, I really want to note the value and peculiarity of a particular profession.
For example, an excellent gift for an engineer or mechanical engineer would be a 3D pen - a very useful and unusual gadget. And the postman, who is forced to deliver mail at any time of the year, day and night, and in any weather, will appreciate a comfortable bag, good shoes or a stun gun as a means of self-defense.
For professional motorists, you can present a travel coffee maker and other gadgets powered by a cigarette lighter, driving glasses or a car radio with your favorite discs.
Gifts for professional military holidays can be a commander's watch, a portrait on canvas, or a certificate to a shooting range for a shooting master class.
On Teacher's Day, it is best to prepare a gift with your own hands together with your child. This could be a supply for pens and pencils, a collage or a tree with portraits of pupils and pupils. Or you can present a book, an original notebook or an interesting teaching aid.
On his professional day, you can present a tourist with a compass, some of the mandatory equipment or camping furniture. In fact, there are a lot of useful devices for more comfortable tourism and travel.
If you need to congratulate an accountant on his professional holiday, the best gifts there will be a foot hammock, a money clip or a good leather wallet, writing sets or interestingly shaped paperweights.

Attention!
Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magical forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).
On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this.
Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.
The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books.
Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.
People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.
There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness.
Therefore, please be careful!
Sincerely – Oleg and Valentina Svetovid

- January(Day of Nature Reserves, Day of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation, Day of the Russian Press, Birthday of the Pipeline Troops, Day of the Engineering Troops, Day of the Navy Navigator, International Customs Day)
Day of Nature Reserves- January 11
The Day of Nature Reserves and National Parks was first celebrated in 1997 on the initiative of the Wildlife Conservation Center and the World Wildlife Fund. January 11 was not chosen for this by chance. On this day in 1916, the first state reserve was formed in Russia - Barguzinsky. Today there are 100 nature reserves and 35 national reserves in the country.
Day of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation-January 12
On January 12, 1722, by decree of Peter the Great, the post of prosecutor general was first established in the Senate. This is how the institution of the prosecutor’s office arose in the history of Russia, initially in the person of the “attorney of state affairs” Pavel Yaguzhinsky. The Day of Workers of the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation has been celebrated since 1996 by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation.
Established by Decree of the President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin in 1992 and is associated with a historical date - the beginning of the publication of the first Russian printed newspaper Vedomosti, founded by decree of Peter the Great. On January 13, 1703, the first issue of the Russian-language printed newspaper “Vedomosti” was published in Moscow, which was called: “Vedomosti about military and other affairs worthy of knowledge and memory that happened in the Moscow State and in other surrounding countries.” This holiday was established to replace the “Soviet Press Day” - May 5, which was timed to coincide with the publication of the first issue of the Bolshevik newspaper Pravda. On January 13, Russian Press Day, since 1997, the Russian Presidential Prize in the field of media and grants have been awarded to support projects of young journalists.
Birthday of the Russian Pipeline Troops-January 14
November 22, 1951 Chairman of the Council of Ministers I.V. Stalin signed a decree on the production of a prototype of a new generation pipeline. The USSR Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Oil Industry were instructed to conduct joint tests in the field. On January 14, 1952, based on the adopted resolution, the USSR Minister of War, Marshal of the Soviet Union A.M. Vasilevsky, signed a directive that ordered the formation of the first separate fuel pumping battalion. The date of signing of the directive became the birthday of the pipeline troops.
Engineering Troops Day -January 21
Engineering Troops Day was established by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 18, 1996, taking into account the historical traditions of the engineering troops and their contribution to the development of the country's defense potential. The history of the Russian engineering troops takes its origins from the Decree of Peter the Great of January 21, 1701 on the creation in Moscow of the “School of the Pushkar Order”, in which artillery officers and military engineers were trained. Today, specialists for the engineering troops in Russia are trained by the Military Engineering University, formed on September 1, 1998 on the basis of the V.V. Kuibyshev Military Engineering Academy, with two branches - on the basis of the Tyumen and Nizhny Novgorod Order of Lenin, the Red Banner Higher Military Engineering Command Schools.
Navy Navigator Day-The 25th of January
Previously, Navy Navigator's Day was celebrated on the days of the spring (21.03) and autumn (23.09) equinoxes. It is on these days that you can accurately determine the cardinal directions without instruments - the Sun at any point rises strictly in the east, and sets, accordingly, in the west. But since 1997, in accordance with the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Navy Navigator Day is celebrated on January 25, the day the navigator service of the Russian Fleet was founded.
In November 1952, the Convention on the Establishment of the Customs Cooperation Council came into force. On January 26, 1953, the first session of the Customs Cooperation Council took place in Brussels, which in 1994 received its current name - the World Customs Organization.

- February(International Bartender Day, Russian Science Day, International Dentist Day, Diplomatic Worker Day, Aeroflot Day, Transport Police Day, International Mother Language Day, Defender of the Fatherland Day)
International Bartender's Day (St. Amanda's Day)-February 6
Bartender's Day is celebrated on February 6, St. Amanda's Day, and has become a professional holiday for bartenders and restaurateurs in many countries. Patron of winemakers and bartenders, Saint Amand, Bishop of Maastricht (584-679), became the official patron of winemakers, wine merchants, brewers, bar and restaurant owners and finally bar workers (from bartenders to dishwashers) due to his work in evangelizing the wine regions France, Germany and Flanders. In Russia, this holiday has also recently taken root and is only becoming more popular every year.
Russian Science Day-February 8
On February 8, 1724 (January 28, old style), by decree of the government Senate, by order of Peter I, the Academy of Sciences was founded in Russia. In 1925 it was renamed the USSR Academy of Sciences, and in 1991 - the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 1999, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of June 7, a holiday of Russian scientists was established on this day - thus the authorities commemorated the 275th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences. It is important to note that in Soviet times, Science Day was celebrated on the third Sunday in April. When choosing the date, we were guided by the fact that in 1918, between April 18 and April 25, V.I. Lenin drew up a “Sketch of a plan for scientific and technical work.” To this day, many scientific teams celebrate Science Day “in the old way,” that is, on the third Sunday in April
The tradition of celebrating “International Dentist Day” on February 9 is gaining momentum all over the world. Celebrate Dentist Day on February 9, the day of Saint Apollonia. Apollonia is the daughter of a prominent Alexandrian official who believed in Christ. The persecutors of Christianity subjected Apollonia to cruel torture, demanding that he renounce his faith. When she refused to renounce, they pulled out all her teeth and threatened to burn her alive. Apollonia did not flinch in the face of death. She asked her to untie her so she could kneel down and fulfill the crowd's demand. When they untied her, the brave woman herself threw herself into the fire. This happened on February 9, 249. The suffering and Christian deed of Apollonia so amazed her contemporaries and descendants that a legend was born that one only had to say the name of Apollonia, pray to her, and the toothache would subside.
This professional holiday was established by Decree of the President of Russia No. 1279 of October 31, 2002 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Russian Foreign Ministry. There is also a version among diplomats that Diplomatic Worker's Day is celebrated on February 10, since it was on this day in 1549 that the earliest mention of the Ambassadorial Prikaz, the first foreign policy department of Russia, occurred.
Aeroflot Day-second Sunday in February
The birthday of the civil air fleet in Russia is considered to be February 9, 1923, when the Council of Labor and Defense adopted a resolution “On the organization of the Civil Aviation Council” and “On the assignment of technical supervision of air lines to the Main Directorate of the Air Fleet.” In 1979, by Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme.

International Mother Language Day, proclaimed by the General Conference of UNESCO on 17 November 1999, has been celebrated every year since February 2000 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.
Defender of the Fatherland Day-February 23
On February 10, 1995, the State Duma of Russia adopted the federal law “On the Days of Military Glory of Russia”, in which this day is named as follows: “February 23 is the Day of the Red Army’s victory over the Kaiser’s troops of Germany in 1918 - Defender of the Fatherland Day.” Today, most Russian citizens tend to consider Defender of the Fatherland Day not so much as an anniversary great victory or the Birthday of the Red Army, just like the day of real men. Defenders in the broadest sense of the word.
