Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day: what to wish in your own words
The holiday in honor of the defenders of the Fatherland appeared in Russia back in 1919. Initially, the celebration was planned to be associated with the anniversary of the creation of the Workers and Peasants Red Army (RKKA). However, it was not possible to prepare everything necessary for the appointed date (January 28 - the day of signing the decree on the Red Army), so it was decided to move the celebration to the end of winter. There was a historical justification for moving the date - on February 23, 1918 the Red Army units for the first time faced German troops near Pskov. The holiday itself was called "Red Gift Day".
During its existence, the celebration has undergone many changes. The modern Defender of the Fatherland Day appeared in the calendar only in 1995 after changes were made to the federal law "On holidays and memorial days", and in 2001 it was officially recognized as a day off.
Today February 23 is one of the most significant dates in Russia. It is a tribute to all those who defend the interests of the country with weapons in their hands, help the soldiers at the front and serve in conscription to repel an enemy attack at the right moment. Therefore, on Defender of the Fatherland Day, it is important to express gratitude to these brave people. Here's how you can do it:
"Dear defenders of the Fatherland! Congratulations on your holiday! Thank you for your selfless service, for your bravery, reliability and patriotism. We wish you good health, brilliant victories, reliable comrades and true love! Let there always be a clear, peaceful sky above you, and let your relatives meet you at home with smiles!"
