February 2 – Victory Day in the Battle of Stalingrad
Soviet troops, at the cost of thousands of lives, managed to defend StalingradIn the chronicles of the war years, the Battle of Stalingrad takes pride of place. This memorable date was approved in the calendar of holidays of the Russian Federation in 1995. It is intended to remind contemporaries of the valor and bravery of the Soviet military. In the summer of 1942, the commanders of the fascist army set a goal - to defeat the troops of the Union Republics on the southern front.
The very middle of the hot summer (July 17, 1942) was marked by the beginning of an equally hot battle - the first stage of the battle for Stalingrad. Soviet soldiers received a strict order: “Do not surrender Stalingrad!” The battles took place not just for the city, but for every building, street or block. Thirteen times the railway station came under the control of one side or the other. In winter (01/31/1943) heroic defense Stalingrad ended in victory for the Union army.
The battles for the city went down in the history of the war as one of the bloodiest - more than 700 thousand soldiers died and were wounded in this battle. However, the goal was achieved, and the fascist troops lost their strategic initiative. Today the city bears the name Volgograd. It is literally filled with monuments testifying to his heroic military past. The central place among all the monuments is occupied by the monument erected on Mamayev Kurgan in honor of the defenders of the city - the majestic “Motherland”.
February 2 – Groundhog Day
At the beginning of February, the groundhog will tell you when the long-awaited spring will come. The date is not exactly a holiday, but, of course, it is anticipated with great impatience. In February, every resident of Russia, tired of frost and cold, is waiting for the gentle sun and warm spring days. Of course, you can rely on the forecasts of weather forecasters, but it is no secret that they are often mistaken in their predictions. But the groundhog that crawls out of its hole on this day gives an almost 100% forecast!
If the animal is not afraid of the shadow and does not hide to sleep some more, then spring will be early; otherwise the winter cold will continue for another 6 weeks. In Russia, this date passes without much fanfare, but in the USA and Canada it is accompanied by numerous festivals, fireworks and festivities. Moreover, the tradition of celebrating Groundhog Day arose in these countries more than 100 years ago - the first information about the holiday dates back to 1841.
February 14 – Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day card One of the oldest thematic holidays, Valentine's Day, has been celebrated by European residents since the 18th century. The history of this celebration dates back to ancient times, when in 269 BC the Roman ruler Claudius II wanted to conquer the whole world. The warlike emperor decided that he did not have enough warriors to achieve his goal. To solve this problem, Claudius ordered that men be prohibited from marrying.
The emperor's logic was quite simple: family man wants to save life and is not too eager to fight, but loners have nothing to lose. In those distant times, a military priest named Valentine served in the ranks of the Roman army. Like a true Christian, he was inflamed with pity for the hearts of love, and began to secretly conduct wedding ceremonies. The priest paid cruelly for his kind heart - he was taken into custody to later suffer martyrdom at the hands of the executioner.
However, the memory of good Valentine remained alive. Two hundred years passed, and by church decree the day of Valentine's execution - February 14 - was fixed in the calendar as St. Valentine's Day. Today this holiday is classified as the most romantic and bright, and is celebrated in most countries of the world. Every year on February 14, men and women give their loved ones flowers, valentines and gifts and, of course, say words of love.

It reminds believers of the great mission God has entrusted to his Son. The Presentation of the Lord is celebrated on the fortieth day after the Nativity of Christ. This figure is not accidental: according to the traditions of the Jewish people, after 40 days the baby must be brought to the temple, where the sacrament of presenting him before God is performed.
It is on the fortieth day that the mother can cross the threshold of the holy monastery, since she is finally cleansed after the birth of the child. According to Scripture, the Virgin Mary went with Jesus to the temple of the city of Jerusalem, taking with her gifts in the form of a pair of white doves. There she met Elder Simeon, who was predicted that he would not leave this mortal world until he saw the Savior. The prophecy came true: Simeon saw the baby Jesus.
February 20 – Maslenitsa
Maslenitsa traditionally celebrates farewell to winter. A noisy and cheerful ritual celebration that has been celebrated by our ancestors since pagan times. Maslenitsa lasts seven days, on each of which it is customary to bake pancakes, go on visits, sing songs and dance in circles, calling on the sun to turn to spring, and nature to awaken from its winter sleep. Until now, during Shrovetide week, every Russian city puts on festive booths, organizes fairs, snow battles and sled rides.
The main attribute of the holiday are ruddy pancakes, which identify the Sun-Yarilo. Pancakes are eaten both without fillings and filled with mushrooms, berries, meat, fish, caviar, condensed milk or honey. The climax of the festival is the farewell to winter, which is solemnly burned at the stake in the form of a straw effigy.

Our country is one of the few countries in the world in which the number of weekends and holidays in a row can be equated to short vacations or holidays.
This trend was introduced so that all Russians have the opportunity not only to work fully, but also to have equally full and well-deserved rest, which certainly contributes not only to better work, but also to an improvement in the general health of the nation. Naturally, such an effect can only be achieved with active and healthy recreation; fortunately, Russia provides many opportunities for the described pastime.

Blizzard February, despite all the vicissitudes of the weather, fills the soul of every Russian with a premonition of the approaching spring: the sun (when it deigns to appear from behind the clouds) is already warming up, the daylight hours are long. The darkest and coldest period of winter is behind us! And if we remember that we also have holidays in February, then the number pleasant emotions will increase exponentially. So, what will the last winter month please working citizens - how will we relax in February 2017?
Weekends and holidays in February 2017
The main February event is, of course, . February 23rd is a date with long traditions for our country. They first started talking about it as a holiday back in 1918. Then, on the 21st, the call for volunteers to the Red Army began - and it ended, I must say, very successfully. An impressive army was created. The Soviet government decided to make this day a holiday from now on, but due to various circumstances the celebration was moved to Sunday - February 23.
And for the next 4 years they happily forgot about the holiday - that’s not what happened. In 1922, the solemn date was officially celebrated for the first time, timed to coincide with the victories (the significance of which historians argue today) of Soviet troops near Pskov and Narva. Until 2002, on February 23, soldiers and the male half of the population in general were congratulated, but this day was a working day.
In 2002, the government gave the gentlemen a generous gift - it determined that on February 23, all those working on a 40-hour workweek schedule could rest peacefully.
In 2017, Russians were lucky: the January 1 holiday was moved to February 24 (since it fell on a Sunday) and, thus, saved all legal weekends for residents of the state. As a result, we got 4 whole days of mini-vacations: from February 23 to February 26 inclusive. By the way, remind your employer: February 22 Labor Code will be a short working day - you can safely run away from work an hour earlier. And no one will give you absenteeism.
| Amount of days | Working time (hour) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calendar | workers | Weekends | 40 hours/week | 36 hours/week | 24 hours/week |
| 28 | 18 | 10 | 143 | 128,6 | 85,4 |
In general, the month is generous for special occasions. There will be enough weekends, in addition to the listed “vacations”: these are all Saturdays and Sundays, that is, the 4th and 5th, 11th and 12th, 18th and 19th. Interestingly, some of them can be celebrated at home with a glass of wine, because they are considered international holidays days.
So, on the 12th (Sunday), marriage agencies are celebrated all over the world, and also congratulate each other on the Day of Science and Humanism.
On February 18 (Saturday), employees of the Russian Transport Police relax and accept congratulations.
Well, what about February 14th? In 2017 it falls on a Tuesday. Yes, this is not a day off, but this fact does not prevent lovers from exchanging gifts and arranging good surprises for each other.
By the way, February 14 is also Geek Day. Congratulate from the bottom of our hearts all the representatives of this necessary profession today!
February has arrived - we are preparing for the holidays: stocking up on gifts, good mood and we invite guests!
