Day of the Soviet Army and Navy
A little about the history of the holiday on February 23 from the call of V.I. (Ulyanov) Lenin "The Socialist Fatherland is in Danger!" until Defender of the Fatherland Day.
Historically sound, I would say fundamental research on the above topic was carried out by an excellent Russian scientist, Doctor of Historical Sciences Andrei Vladislavovich Ganin. Russian historian, researcher of the military-political history of Russia and neighboring states, the officer corps of the Russian army, the history of the General Staff and the Cossacks of the late XIX - first quarter of the XX centuries.

It is impossible for the sake of the situation,
Break the historical connection.
Aiming for a dubious culture
To vulgarize the former Glory.

Dignity and honor of a soldier
Always kept our Rus'.
The Fatherland is holy to the Slavs!
I am proud of the feat of grandfathers!

Recently I read an article by Alexander Novak "What we celebrate on February 23 and March 8"
My indignation knew no bounds. Its version is associated with the transition of the calendar to a new style. March 8 was a holiday for all internationalists. Before the revolution (according to the old style), we celebrated this holiday on February 23rd. And after the transition to a new style, the habit of celebrating something on February 23 remained. So they were looking for some close dates, in general, an excuse, they remembered the day of the creation of the Red Army, so an excuse was found for February 23 (I immediately remembered November 7 and 4). So we got 2 holidays, popularly known as men's and women's days. And yet, according to A. Novak, this date is closely connected with the Jewish holiday of Purim. (http://allpravda.info/content/1391.html)
I understand that history is being changed for the sake of Western ideology, bringing up immorality and lack of spirituality among young people. Trying to confuse everything so that a person begins to doubt. But there are things sacred for every person, especially Russian. Yes, we live in a different system, in a different state, but at the same time, this is our Fatherland. I ask you to respect the army, which no longer exists, and the tradition, which is almost 99 years old, but not for the weekend, but for the patriotism and heroism shown by soldiers and officers in the First World War. We celebrate Defender of the Fatherland Day - February 23. It used to be called the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. But the history of this holiday is not so unambiguous and, until now, historians are arguing about the date of February 23. Defender of the Fatherland Day is the subject of clashes of different views on our past.
To begin with, in 1918, the First World War was going on and the Young Soviet State needed an army to protect itself from external intervention. Lenin signed the decree on the formation of the Red Army on January 15, 1918. In conditions when the old army was retreating, and the new Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army was still being created. The German command violated the truce and February 18, 1918 launched an offensive along the entire front. The Soviet government, in order to protect the state from Kaiser's Germany, began organizing regular armed forces. In Pskov, with the news of the beginning of the German offensive, on February 19, a military-revolutionary headquarters for the defense of the city was organized as part of B.P. Pozerna, M.P. Usharnova and others. In the cities: Pskov, Ostrov, Opochka, Novorzhev, a state of siege was introduced. On January 28, 1918, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR adopted a decree establishing the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. Soon, decrees were issued on February 11, 1918 on the creation of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Fleet (RKKF) and on February 28, 1918 on the creation of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (RKKA) ... But none of these decrees was signed on February 23, and the first regular units appeared among the Bolsheviks only in March, and they practically consisted of soldiers and officers of the old army.
Some historians believed that this was due to a significant victory over the German troops in the battles near Pskov and Narva. But even here everything is ambiguous. Many people express doubt considering this fact a political myth, because there is no documentary evidence of this fact. In the documents of that time in the newspapers there is not even a mention of significant victories in those days. In 1919, celebrating the anniversary of the holiday, the newspapers did not describe significant events and victories. Similar references began to appear much later. What did happen near Pskov and Narva on February 23, 1918? I was very interested in this question in a purely military aspect.
Yes, there were military operations on the Northern Front. From February 18, the Germans launched an offensive, transferring troops by trains and cars, infiltrating in small forward detachments along the entire Northern Front and encountering almost no resistance from the remnants of the demoralized old Russian army. But on February 23, 15 versts from Pskov, the vanguard of the Germans received the first hard rebuff from the combat detachment of the Red Army, and the Germans retreated under fire.
Pskov was defended by hastily assembled troops under the command of a Russian officer of Bulgarian origin, former colonel of the General Staff of the tsarist army Jordan (Yurdan, Jordan) Yuryevich (Georgievich) Pekhlivanov. The 4th and 2nd Red Army regiments of Cherepanov, formed from the soldiers of the Northern Front, detachments of Latvian riflemen, Pskov Red Guards, St. Petersburg workers and soldiers, as well as the remnants of units of the 70th Infantry, 15th Cavalry Divisions, two shock battalions of the old army that retreated here. Participation in the battles near Pskov and Narva of officers of the 15th Ukrainian Hussars, 15th Tatar Lancers, Kopersky Infantry Regiments, and many volunteers was noted. They fought not out of sympathy for the new Soviet power, but for their Fatherland, for the honor of Russia. During that period, many military generals, officers and soldiers of the old Russian army went to serve in the Red Army, for whom Honor, Fatherland, Patriotism were the main reason to resist the German invasion.
The main merits of I.G. Pekhlivanov are connected precisely with the Russian military service, so Bulgarian researchers were of little interest in this aspect of his activity. Domestic authors, in turn, were not interested in I.G. Pekhlivanov in Soviet times for the reason that he was a tsarist officer, as well as a traitor to the Soviet regime. Information that he managed to serve not only with the Reds, but also with the Whites, either remained unknown or was carefully concealed. Modern Russian researchers I.G. Pekhlivanov is not attracted, since he was one of the founders of the Red Army, its first military specialists, while the study of this topic is not very popular in the new Russia. As a result, his name (often with errors in Russian texts, one of the most common among which was the reversal of the name and patronymic of an officer) appears mainly only in Soviet generalizing works on the defense of Petrograd or the birth of the Red Army, as well as the Bulgarian-Soviet friendship .
The practice of excluding the most important stories from our past, based on considerations of the current situation, continues to demonstrate its viciousness. Due to ignoring the contribution of I.G. Pekhlivanov to the creation of the Red Army are still poorly understood and some key points of the initial period of Soviet military development are subject to distortion.
The real flurry of anti-Bolshevik journalism of the last two decades is associated with the desire of a number of authors to belittle the significance of the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day on February 23, to show the unfounded historical background of the events around February 23, 1918, and even that such a holiday date has no place in the modern calendar. The events of the defense of Petrograd in February-March 1918 are closely connected with the activities of I.G. Pekhlivanova. An appeal to archival documents reflecting his activities during this period shows the failure of attempts to rewrite history and emphasizes the enormous factual and moral significance of the February-March events for the fate of Soviet Russia and the nascent Red Army. Perhaps the only author who seriously studied the events of February-March 1918 near Pskov was the Soviet historian P.A. Nikolaev. In the Soviet period, he studied the biography of I.G. Pekhlivanov, although he made a number of mistakes and inaccuracies in this matter.
Turning to documents on this topic today allows not only to give a modern, non-ideologized interpretation of the events of the defense of Petrograd, but also opens up a number of previously unknown factual data. I.G. Pekhlivanov was one of those officers of the old army who stood at the origins of the creation of the new Red Army. Through the prism of his biography, one can trace the main difficulties of the initial stage of the existence of the Soviet Armed Forces, the process of the collapse of the old army, the emergence and development of the Red Guard and the Red Army, the process of transition from the chaos of the partisan period to regular formations.
I.G. Pekhlivanov owns interesting projects for the organization of the Armed Forces of Soviet Russia. Of considerable interest is the story of his flight from Soviet Russia and its background. Until now, all these plots have not attracted the attention of researchers.
In the future, many ranks from the officers of the tsarist army became the first commanders in the ranks of the People's Red Army*. In total, the units formed by the headquarters of the 1st Corps of the Red Army in Petrograd at the call of Lenin "The Socialist Fatherland is in danger!" 17 thousand volunteers entered from February 23 to March 8, 10 thousand went to the front. 20 thousand of them joined the working detachments, 7 thousand fighters went to combat positions. By the beginning of March, they created, although fragile, a barrier against the Germans, actively preventing their further advance on Petrograd.
But the forces were unequal. In the course of heavy bloody battles, the Kaiser's troops managed to quickly pull up reserves from the rear, creating a significant superiority in manpower and artillery, on February 24 they broke through to the outskirts of Pskov, on the night of February 25 they reached the city center. And on the 28th they took possession of the whole city, street fighting did not stop, the city passed from hand to hand three times. Reinforcements arrived from St. Petersburg to help the defending troops of the Red Army, consisting of a battalion of the 1st Corps of the Tukums Latvian Regiment, the 2nd Reserve Machine-Gun Regiment of the regular Red Army and the Red Guards of the Petrograd factories. With a powerful counterattack, the Germans were stopped near the railway station of Toroshino.
The command of the Red Army positively assessed the actions of I.G. Peklivanov, who commanded in the most difficult conditions of breaking through the front, panic and chaos, who managed to organize the troops and stop the offensive.
Near the city of Narva, at the railway stations of Johvi and Kohtla, the armored train of the Putilov Red Guards heroically distinguished itself, its firepower and the suddenness of its appearance forced the Germans to retreat. But under the onslaught of superior forces of infantry and artillery, in order to avoid irreparable losses, the Red Guards left Narva with battles. The troops of the 3rd Red Army Regiment of the Northern Front, the Latvian detachments of Klyavs-Klyavin and Azin, the Hungarian internationalists Bela Kun, the Estonian Revel detachment of Pylda, and workers' detachments from Petrograd withdrew in stages. But in other sectors of the front, the German-Austrian divisions successfully and irresistibly moved forward. The troops near Narva were led by the former commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General D. Parsky, the Commissar of the Navy sailor Dybenko, the leader of Tsentrobalt and the hero of October, was appointed commandant of Narva, who, however, criminally abandoned the city, left for Gatchina with an echelon of his sailors and forcibly took with him also Parsky. On the 7th, "after a fight," Dybenko rolled into Yamburg, where Parsky, who managed to escape from him, successfully set up defenses. But not for long, Dybenko ran away and went on to ride around Russia further, apparently not daring to appear in front of his subordinates and superiors. Upon his return, he was put on trial, expelled from the party and sentenced to death, however, at the request of Kollontai, he was pardoned and further deeds in the civil fratricidal war earned forgiveness and reinstatement in the party ranks. So on March 3, on the day of the conclusion of the Brest Peace, heroic Narva fell in the course of stubborn and fierce battles. This was the main reason for the conclusion of the Brest peace. Certainly shameful, but necessary for the formation of the young Soviet state. Many officer-heroes of the Narva defense subsequently switched to the white movement and actively fought on the fronts of the civil war, which is probably why February 23, 1919-1921, was not celebrated.

In 1922, a decree was signed on the solemn celebration on February 23 of the fourth anniversary of the birth of the Red Army.

In 1923, the 5th anniversary of the Red Army was solemnly celebrated throughout the country, the holiday became nationwide.

Since 1946, the holiday has been called the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy.

In 1995, the State Duma of Russia adopts the federal law "On the Days of Russia's Military Glory". According to this law, February 23 is listed as "The Day of the Red Army's victory over the Kaiser troops of Germany in 1918 - Defender of the Fatherland Day."

But, already in 2002, the State Duma adopted a resolution to rename February 23 simply as Defender of the Fatherland Day, and since then it has become a non-working day (official holiday).
This is how the historical connection was excluded from the holiday, just removing the mention of the victories of the Red Army over the Kaiser troops on February 23, 1918 from the description of the holiday, as an unreliable historical fact. Let's leave ideology alone and pay tribute to the feat of our revolutionary ancestors, without slandering them. And we will celebrate those dates that we like best.
And February 23 is a beloved, popularly celebrated day, when men accept congratulations, since they are all our defenders of the Russian land and the Fatherland! Regardless of nationality, ranks, titles and political preferences.
* For those wishing to learn more about the role of the Russian officer of Bulgarian origin, the former colonel of the General Staff of the tsarist army Jordan (Yurdan, Jordan) Yuryevich (Georgievich) Pekhlivanov in the creation of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army and about his fate, I recommend reading the publication of A. V. Ganin. "Bulgarian who defended Russia: The fate of Jordan Pehlivanov".
Andrei Vladislavovich Ganin is a Russian historian, doctor of historical sciences, researcher of the military-political history of Russia and neighboring states, the officer corps of the Russian army, the history of the General Staff and the Cossacks of the late 19th-first quarter of the 20th centuries.

Now on February 23 we celebrate Defender of the Fatherland Day, and earlier it was called the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. That, perhaps, is all that most of us know about the history of this holiday. And, meanwhile, this story is completely ambiguous, and there are still disputes between historians about the occurrence of the date February 23. In today's article, I will try to briefly tell you the history of the holiday, which we celebrate on February 23, and highlight controversial points.

The origins of the holiday should be sought in 1918, since it was in this year that the decrees on the creation of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (RKKA) and the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Fleet (RKKF) were signed. The First World War was on, and the young Soviet state needed an army for protection. However, none of these decrees was signed on 23 February. The Red Army was created on January 28, and the RKKF on February 11.

It was believed that it was on February 23 that the Red Army won a major victory over the German troops near Pskov and Narva. However, many historians questioned this fact and considered it an invented myth. The fact is that there is no documentary evidence of this fact. There is not even any mention of any significant victories in the newspapers of those days. And even a year after these events (it would seem, on the anniversary of the holiday), the newspapers did not write anything about this. Such references began to appear only much later.

In 1922, a decree was signed on the solemn celebration on February 23 of the fourth anniversary of the birth of the Red Army. And in previous years, for some reason, the holiday was not celebrated.

Yuon K.F. 1923 Red Army Parade

In 1923, the 5th anniversary of the Red Army was widely and solemnly celebrated throughout the country.

It turns out that despite the fact that the Red Army itself was created in 1918, and the holiday originates from there, it began to become a truly famous holiday only 4 years later.

Since 1946, the holiday has been called Day of the Soviet Army and Navy.

In 1995, the State Duma of Russia adopts the federal law "On the Days of Russia's Military Glory". According to this law, February 23 is listed as " Day of the victory of the Red Army over the Kaiser troops of Germany in 1918 - Defender of the Fatherland Day".

But already in 2002, the State Duma adopted a resolution on renaming February 23 simply to Defender of the Fatherland Day, and since then it has become a non-working day (official holiday). Thus, the connection with the victories of the Red Army over the Kaiser troops on February 23, 1918 was removed from the description of the holiday, as an unreliable fact.

Why Defender of the Fatherland Day is celebrated on February 23

So why is Defender of the Fatherland Day celebrated on February 23rd? Where did this date come from? Indeed, in fact, it is neither the birthday of the Red Army, nor the birthday of the RKKF.

I must say right away that there is no exact answer to this question. And there are several versions.

Version one.

I have already voiced this version above. For a long time it was the official version. This is a victory near Pskov and Narva over the Kaiser troops on February 23, 1918. However, this fact was not confirmed.

Version two.

Initially, they wanted to celebrate the anniversary of the creation of the Red Army precisely on the date of its creation on January 28th. However, due to bureaucratic delays, they did not have time to this date, and it was decided this year 1919 to combine Red Army Day with Red Gift Day (collection of material resources for the Red Army), which was celebrated on February 17 the previous year. However, in that year 1919, the date of February 17 fell on a Monday, and it was decided to transfer these 2 holidays to the next Sunday, which was February 23. Allegedly, since then, Red Army Day has been celebrated on February 23.

Version three.

There is another interesting version associated with the transition of the calendar to a new style. March 8 was a holiday for all internationalists. Before the revolution (according to the old style), we celebrated this holiday on February 23rd. And after the transition to a new style, the habit of celebrating something on February 23 remained. They were looking for some close dates, they remembered the day of the creation of the Red Army, so an excuse was found for February 23 (I immediately remembered November 7 and 4). So we got 2 holidays, popularly known as men's and women's days.

So I briefly told you the story of February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day - with different versions of the origin of this holiday regarding the date of the celebration.

Be that as it may, February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day - is a beloved nationally celebrated day, on which we congratulate all men, since they are all our defenders!

Recently, the holiday is increasingly losing its political and military coloring, turning into just the day of Men. On this day, we thank our men for their strength, masculinity, love, care, support, support, simply because they are there and take care of us.

Congratulate all the men who are with you, regardless of their age.

The history of the holiday originates on January 28 (January 15 according to the old style) 1918. On this day, against the backdrop of the ongoing World War I in Europe, the Council of People's Commissars (the de facto government of Soviet Russia), headed by its chairman Vladimir Lenin, adopted a Decree on the organization of the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army (RKKA).

In the first days of January 1919, the Soviet authorities remembered the approaching anniversary of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars on the organization of the Red Army. On January 10, the chairman of the Higher Military Inspectorate of the Red Army, Nikolai Podvoisky, sent a proposal to the presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee to celebrate the anniversary of the creation of the Red Army, timing the celebration to the nearest Sunday before or after January 28. However, due to the late submission of the application, no decision was made.

Then the Moscow Soviet took the initiative to celebrate the first anniversary of the Red Army. On January 24, 1919, its presidium, which at that time was headed by Lev Kamenev, decided to coincide with these celebrations on the Day of the Red Gift. This day was arranged by the relevant commission under the All-Russian Central Executive Committee in order to assist the fighting Red Army soldiers. The Day of the Red Gift was scheduled for February 16, but the commission did not have time to hold it on time. Therefore, the Day of the Red Gift and the Day of the Red Army, timed to coincide with it, decided to celebrate the following Sunday after February 16, i.e. February 23.

In 1920-1921. Red Army Day was not celebrated.

On January 27, 1922, the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee published a resolution on the 4th anniversary of the Red Army, which stated: "In accordance with the resolution of the IX All-Russian Congress of Soviets on the Red Army, the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee draws the attention of the executive committees to the upcoming anniversary of the creation of the Red Army (February 23)".

In 1923, the decision of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, adopted on January 18, said: "On February 23, 1923, the Red Army will celebrate the 5th anniversary of its existence. On this day, five years ago, the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of January 28 was published the same year that laid the foundation for the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army, the stronghold of the proletarian dictatorship. However, this statement was not true, because. the said decree was published in the central newspapers almost immediately after its adoption.

The 10th anniversary of the Red Army in 1928, like all the previous ones, was celebrated as the anniversary of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars on the organization of the Red Army of January 28 (15 according to the old style) of January 1918, but the very date of publication, contrary to the truth, was directly connected with February 23.

In 1938, in the "Short Course on the History of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks", a fundamentally new version of the origin of the date of the holiday was presented, which was not related to the decree of the Council of People's Commissars. The book stated that in 1918 near Narva and Pskov "the German occupiers were given a decisive rebuff. Their advance on Petrograd was suspended. The day of repulse to the troops of German imperialism - February 23, became the birthday of the young Red Army."

Later, in the order of the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR dated February 23, 1942, the wording was changed: "The young detachments of the Red Army, who entered the war for the first time, utterly defeated the German invaders near Pskov and Narva on February 23, 1918. That is why February 23 was declared the day birth of the Red Army.

In 1951, the last interpretation of the holiday appeared. In the "History of the Civil War in the USSR" it was indicated that in 1919 the first anniversary of the Red Army was celebrated "on the memorable day of the mobilization of the working people for the defense of the socialist Fatherland, the mass entry of workers into the Red Army, the broad formation of the first detachments and units of the new army."

In the Federal Law of March 13, 1995 N32-FZ "On the Days of Military Glory of Russia", February 23 is officially called "The Day of the Red Army's Victory over the Kaiser's troops of Germany in 1918 - the Day of Defenders of the Fatherland."

In accordance with the changes made to the Federal Law "On the Days of Military Glory of Russia" by the Federal Law of April 15, 2006, the words "Victory Day of the Red Army over the Kaiser troops of Germany (1918)" were excluded from the official description of the holiday, and it is also set out in a single including the concept of "defender".

Introduction.

The song "The holiday has come to us" (performed by Lyapunov, Ramazanov, Borshchev, Zgonnik)

The verse is read by Grigorieva Yana

The winds blow in February
The trumpets howl loud
Snake rushes along the ground
Light snow.

Flying away, rushing into the distance
Aircraft links.
February is celebrated
Army birth.

The date has a special meaning -
Sons of the brave birthday.
All the people of the country on this date
He sends greetings to the sailor and the soldier.

Guards our sea
Glorious, valiant sailor.
Proudly flies on a battleship
Our native flag.

The buckle on the belt sparkles
And shine from afar.
Striped shirt
It's called a vest.

Gloomy in the sea-ocean,
Waves crash here and there
Ships sail in the fog
Our land is guarded.

History of the holiday.

Assel: February 23 is the favorite holiday of men and the day for which loving women begin to prepare almost immediately after the New Year holidays. However, when receiving gifts, few of the representatives of the stronger sex think about where this important holiday came from and why it is celebrated in cold February.

Janebek: The birth of the holiday is usually associated with the Decree on the Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army. However, historians claim that this document was adopted on January 15, 1918. 20 million rubles were allocated for the creation of the army, which at that time was considered a huge amount.

Complete confusion reigned at the front - no one really could understand for whom it was now necessary to fight and whether it was worth risking their lives at all. The government of the new Soviet state tried with great effort to form an army, but this process was very tense. The first point for the recruitment of volunteers was opened on February 21 in Petrograd. With a call to join the new army defending the Socialist Fatherland, the leader of the Soviet state spoke.

Assel: On January 10, 1919, the Chairman of the Higher Military Inspectorate of the Red Army (Workers and Peasants' Red Army) Nikolai Podvoisky sent a proposal to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee to celebrate the anniversary of the Red Army on January 28:

His request comes late. As a result, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee refuses due to the late proposal. Nevertheless, on January 24, the Presidium of the Moscow City Council considers the issue "On the organization of a holiday to mark the anniversary of the creation of the Red Army." The anniversary of the Red Army was postponed to the nearest Sunday, that is, February 23. Then the holiday was forgotten for several years and resumed in 1922. On January 27 of this year, the decision of the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on the 4th anniversary of the Red Army was published, which stated:

Janebek: In accordance with Resolution IX (9) of the All-Russian Congress of Soviets on the Red Army, the Presidium of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee draws the attention of the executive committees to the upcoming anniversary of the creation of the Red Army (February 23)

In 1923, the 5th anniversary of the Red Army was widely celebrated, and the holidays on February 23 acquired an all-Union level.

Assel: Back in 1933, K. E. Voroshilov, at a solemn meeting dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the Red Army, admitted:

By the way, the timing of the celebration of the anniversary of the Red Army on February 23 is rather random and difficult to explain and does not coincide with historical dates.

The interpretation of the events of February 1918 as "the victory near Pskov and Narva" was proposed personally by Joseph Stalin in 1938. It first appears in an article published in Izvestia on February 16, 1938 under the heading “On the 20th Anniversary of the Red Army and the Navy. Theses for propagandists. The corresponding thesis was as follows: “Near Narva and Pskov, the German invaders were given a decisive rebuff. Their advance on revolutionary Petrograd was halted. The day of rebuffing the troops of German imperialism became the day of the anniversary of the young Red Army. In September of the same year, it was enshrined in the chapter of the “Short Course in the History of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks” published in Pravda.

Assel: A much more decisive interpretation of the events of February 1918 was given by Stalin in an order dated February 23, 1942:

This version was supported by state propaganda in the USSR for many years. And currently (2017) this version is mentioned as real in some historical works.

Assel: Since 2002, by decision of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, February 23 is a non-working day in Russia and this date is celebrated as “Defender of the Fatherland Day” in accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On the days of military glory (victory days) of Russia” (1995).

On March 24, 2006, the State Duma decided to exclude from the official description of the holiday in the law the words “Victory Day of the Red Army over the Kaiser troops of Germany (1918)”, and also to state in this law in the name of this holiday the concept of “defender” in the singular.

Today, February 23 in Russia is an informal folk holiday for men, which is celebrated both by colleagues in their teams and in families, and is of a massive nature. On this day, congratulations are also given to women - veterans of the Great Patriotic War, women in the military. One of the traditions of the holiday in Moscow is a solemn ceremony near the walls of the Kremlin, laying wreaths at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The President of Russia, the heads of both chambers of parliament, the military leadership, representatives of other branches of government, leaders of political parties, and church hierarchs arrive in the Alexander Garden. After a minute of silence, the national anthem is played, then a guard of honor company marches in a solemn march. In the evening, the country's top leadership is present at a gala concert dedicated to Defender of the Fatherland Day. Also in the evening, fireworks are fired in Moscow and in many other Russian cities. In Pskov, a parade is held at the monument dedicated to the first battles of the Red Army. Reenactments of the events of February 1918 are being arranged.

For most Russian citizens, Defender of the Fatherland Day is an important and significant date.

Janebek: Defender of the Fatherland Day in Kazakhstan is a public holiday and a day off. It is celebrated annually on May 7th. This date was chosen due to the fact that on this day in 1992, the President of Kazakhstan, Nursultan Nazarbayev, signed a decree on the creation of a national armed forces. By tradition, on Defender of the Fatherland Day, the President of Kazakhstan (who is the supreme commander in chief) issues a decree on conferring the next military ranks and presents awards to distinguished servicemen. Kazakhstan has adopted the concept of military reform and the state program of military construction, which reflect the military doctrine and topical issues of reforming the army. In particular, the armed forces of Kazakhstan switched to a three-service structure with the creation of the main headquarters of the ground forces and air defense forces, as well as the management of the naval forces. The airmobile forces were assigned the role of the reserve of the supreme commander in chief.

The verse is read by Kristina Gavrilova:

Years fly over the earth
Centuries, millennia pass,
But you remember man, always
You are a link in the great chain of immortality.
Remember the glory of the old days of the country,
You will continue it, no doubt,
We are strong in the memory of the past,
This is the appointment of a citizen.
Be worthy in a series of great dates,
You will increase the glory of former days,
As once a novice soldier,
You can, you can, you can!

The new place was the city of Serebryansk, East Kazakhstan region. The regimental headquarters was located in Serebryansk, and the missile battalions straddled the mountain ranges around the Bukhtarma hydroelectric power station.

In 1971, the regiment completed a combat mission - shot down an American automatic drifting balloon.
