On February 23, we traditionally celebrate Defender of the Fatherland Day, one of the most important holidays in the calendar of Russians. This is not just a day of honoring soldiers and fighters who served and defended the country during the war and tribulations - the landmark date has already turned into a kind of unofficial "day of all men". After the collapse of the USSR, the holiday has not disappeared - it is still popular, and it is still celebrated not only in Russia, but also in Transnistria and Ukraine. Since 2002, February 23 is a day off in the Russian Federation.
