135 years ago the first Pushkin celebration took place in Moscow
On June 5, 1880, the first Pushkin holiday in Russian history began in Moscow. It lasted four days. The organization of the celebrations was undertaken by the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature, Moscow University and the Moscow City Duma. A program for the Pushkin Days was drawn up, which included, in addition to the opening of the monument, public meetings of the Society, literary and musical evenings, speeches by famous cultural figures, especially famous writers, gala dinners with speeches and toasts.
The holiday began with the opening of the Pushkin exhibition in the premises of the Noble Assembly. A festive reception was held in the hall of the Moscow City Duma, which was attended by more than 250 people who arrived from different parts of Russia. Among the distinguished guests were a member of the royal family, Prince of Oldenburg, Governor-General Dolgorukov, and the children of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin and their families. Writers Ivan Turgenev, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Alexander Ostrovsky, the famous Slavophile publicist Ivan Aksakov, literary critic of liberal views Pavel Annenkov, writer and critic Nikolai Strakhov, historian Vasily Klyuchevsky, composer Nikolai Rubinstein and many others came to honor the memory of the great Russian poet.
The date for celebrating Russian Language Day was June 6. This is the birthday of Alexander Pushkin, the great writer, poet, playwright. In addition, Pushkin is considered the creator of the modern literary Russian language.
Russian language - one of largest languages peace, is the most widespread of the Slavic languages, the most widespread European language in a geographical sense and, based on the total number of speakers, ranks among the top ten world languages. According to the latest data, there are more than 150 million Russian speakers in the world, more than 100 million more speak Russian as a second language. In addition to the Russian Federation, Russian is the official language of some CIS countries, as well as Abkhazia and South Ossetia. It also remains the language of informal communication in countries former USSR. Interestingly, all cosmonauts who will work on the International Space Station must study spoken Russian. On Russian Language Day, various events are held in the UN General Assembly building. In particular, these are concerts of Slavic folk music, competitions on knowledge of the Russian language and literature, exhibitions of works of art, lectures, film demonstrations and express lessons.
The most ancient libraries in the world were the first clay catalogs of Sumerian literature, the library of Ashurbanipal, and the library of the Temple of Edfu in Egypt. In Athens, Euripides, Plato, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Euclid, and Euthydemus owned large private libraries. The first public Greek library was founded in Athens by Pasistratus. The eighth wonder of the world - the Library of Alexandria - included more than 700 thousand scrolls of handwritten books. Government officials in Alexandria confiscated all books imported into the country and sent them to the library marked “from ships.” The rulers of the city introduced a ban on the export of papyrus to stop the rapid growth of the library of Rhodes. According to legend, books from Alexandria were kept in the disappeared library of Ivan the Terrible.
A characteristic feature of Roman libraries is their location in country villas. Private libraries in the II-I centuries. BC. were from Emilius Paulus (based on the library of the Macedonian king Perseus), Sulla (based on the library of Aristotle), Lucullus (based on the library of the Pontic king Mithridates VI Eupator), Varro, Cicero, Atticus, Virgil. The first public library in Rome was created by Gaius Asinius Pollio in the 1st century. BC.
By the middle of the 17th century, central government institutions were created in Russia - orders, under which, by state decree or order in the field of library science, special departmental libraries were organized. One of the most significant libraries was the library of the Prikaz Printing Dvor (Typographic Library), created at the beginning of the 17th century.
State reforms in the spheres of politics, economics, culture and education carried out in Russia in the first quarter of the 18th century by Emperor Peter I were of great importance for the development of libraries.
The most important event in the field of librarianship during the reign of Peter I was the establishment in 1714 in St. Petersburg of the first state scientific library in Russia, which was founded simultaneously with the Kunstkamera. Both of these institutions were transferred to the jurisdiction of the Academy of Sciences, founded in 1724. The creation of a fundamental library met the urgent needs of the socio-political and cultural life of Russia and had a great influence on the subsequent development of library science.
The library was replenished mainly through private collections, transfers of funds from some Orders, purchases and exchanges with foreign scientific institutions. And also due to the legal deposit of literature printed in the printing house. Not only academicians, but also other scientists, statesmen and representatives of the nobility could use the library’s collections.
Libraries are repositories of human memory, the main source of information - from ancient manuscripts to electronic resources. As academician D. Likhachev said, “libraries are the most important thing in culture... while the library is alive, the people are alive; if it dies, the past and the future will die.” On May 24, Russia celebrates the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. The holiday is known as the day of remembrance of the first teachers of the Slavic peoples - the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles brothers Cyril and Methodius.
In Russia, the holiday was revived in 1986, and in 1991, by Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation No. 568-1, it received state status. Officially, this is not a day off, but various festivals, concerts and other events are held to mark this holiday. Every year on May 25, Philologist Day is celebrated in Russia. This date is professional holiday for everyone
o is somehow connected with philology - for graduates and teachers of philological faculties, teachers of Russian language and literature, library workers, translators and simply connoisseurs of their native language and literature. Philology
In the 17th and 18th centuries, philology developed as a science that studies ancient culture (language, literature, history, philosophy, art in their interconnectedness).
Over time, the concept of philology has changed: philology began to be understood as a set of sciences that study the culture of a people, expressed in language and literary creativity. Therefore, modern philologists work in many areas of history, linguistics and literature, making a great contribution to the field of education and research into historical values. The significance of their profession for society cannot be overestimated.

The calendar, in direct chronology, reflects dates, events and significant dates associated with the history of Rus', Russia, the USSR, and the Russian Federation. When compiling the calendar, we were guided by the memorable dates established by Federal Law No. 32-FZ of March 13, 1995 “On the Days of Military Glory and Memorial Dates of Russia.”
The days of military glory of Russia are the days of victories of Russian weapons, which played a decisive role in the history of Russia.

The book formed a new stereotype of the behavior of a socialite, avoiding bad company, extravagance, drunkenness, rudeness, and adhering to European social manners.
“The Honest Mirror of Youth” for many years became a guide to the rules of good manners and behavior in society.

Head of the CPSU and the Soviet Union. The first and last president of the USSR. Founder of the Gorbachev Foundation.
Gorbachev’s activities as head of the CPSU and the state are inextricably linked in the minds of his contemporaries:
A large-scale attempt to reform the USSR (“perestroika”), which ended with its collapse, the collapse of the world socialist system and the end of the Cold War.
Introduction of the policy of glasnost, freedom of speech and press into the USSR.
Withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan (1989).
Russian public opinion in assessing the activities of Mikhail Gorbachev is extremely polarized.
March 17 – 90 years ago(in 1922) the State Museum-Reserve was founded in the village. Mikhailovskoye, Pskov region. Nowadays it is the State Memorial Historical-Literary and Natural Landscape Museum-Reserve "Mikhailovskoye" (Pushkin Reserve).
March 19 – 90 years ago(1922) - put into operation Shukhov Tower- support for placing radio station antennas on the street. Shabolovka in Moscow. The radio station transmitted its call signs, which were received both on the outskirts of the republic and by many European radio stations. Built in 1919-1922 according to the design and under the leadership of Vladimir Georgievich Shukhov (1853-1939).
The Shukhov Tower is considered one of the most beautiful structures of this type, an outstanding achievement of engineering. The height of the tower is 148 m (with a flagpole - 160 m). According to the original project (1919), it was supposed to reach 350 m, but due to limited funds, the project was not fully implemented. The shape of the tower is a single-sheet hyperboloid of revolution. The steel mesh shell of the Shukhov Tower on Shabolovka, due to its “airiness,” experiences minimal wind load. The openwork steel structure combines strength and lightness: three times less metal was used per unit height of the Shukhov Tower than per unit height of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It was erected without scaffolding, by telescopic lifting of sections. All metal parts of the tower are connected to each other by riveting, ensuring long-term operation of the structure.

People communicate in numerous languages. Each of them has its own characteristics of pronunciation, spelling and use of words. Speech captures changes in the cultural traditions of society and its development. They are reflected in works of literature and oral creativity of the people. The international holiday calls for preserving the accumulated legacy of achievements.
Who's celebrating
Everyone involved in the study and transmission of knowledge about speech and writing is related to the celebrations. Among them are researchers, teachers of literature, Russian language, and library staff. Teachers, students, and graduate students of philological faculties of higher educational institutions consider the holiday. The event is attended by everyone who has received an appropriate education and is interested in writing, their relatives, acquaintances, friends and loved ones.
History and traditions of the holiday
The event originates from Ivan Klimenko’s article “Let there be a Day!”, published in one of the newspapers. He is also famous for creating the Russian word game (an intellectual game accompanied by competitions in the field of philology). The author described the idea of the holiday in his work, submitting it to the readers.
The initiative, outlined on the pages of the printed publication, initially did not find any support from the Russian authorities. The United Nations turned out to be much more efficient. In 2010, the UN declared June 6 as Russian Language Day, and already in 2011 the President of Russia issued a decree. The document fixed this date at the state level. It has a symbolic meaning, as stated in the legislative act.
The event is dedicated to the birth of A. Pushkin, one of the most significant figures of the so-called golden age. An outstanding personality is considered the author of modern literary norms for the use of words, and his works are included in the world cultural heritage. Some researchers believe that the poet’s contribution is exaggerated, and his image has been elevated to the rank of a cult, at the instigation of I. Stalin.
Russian Language Day 2020 is widely popular in educational and professional circles. The event is celebrated at the festive table. Colleagues discuss news, tell stories from life and workdays. Congratulations and toasts are heard, ending with the clink of glasses. The government makes speeches that talk about supporting the language. Those gathered exchange valuable gifts. One of the most desirable and widespread is the rare book.
On this day, it is customary to attend cultural events: film screenings, theater performances, exhibitions, concerts of song and dance groups. Students organize open readings. Excerpts from classical works and reports from researchers are heard. Particular attention is paid to young authors. Writers present their works and leave signatures for everyone. Radio and television stations broadcast programs dedicated to literature and related topics.
On the eve of the date or on the next weekend, philologists go outdoors. Dishes are prepared over an open fire, and leisure time is spent outdoors. This is facilitated by the warm weather of the summer month. Relatives, friends and loved ones are usually invited to picnics.
The birthday of the Russian language is one of the events aimed at its preservation and development.
