May 1, 2025 — congratulations on the Holiday of Spring and Labor in Russia
Spring and Labor Day is celebrated in more than 150 countries around the world under various names: International Workers' Day, Labor Day, May Day, etc. The reason for the celebration was the workers' strike in Chicago. On May 1, 1886, people took to the streets demanding fair wages, improved working conditions and a reduction in the working day to eight hours. Three years later, in solidarity with workers all over the world, the Paris Congress of the Second International declared May 1 the day of trade union demonstrations.
In Russia, May Day was first celebrated in 1891, when about 200 people went on strike in St. Petersburg under the leadership of revolutionary Mikhail Brusnev. However, the official and annual holiday became after the October Revolution. Until the 1970s, it was called the Day of the International. May Day got its modern name, the Holiday of Spring and Labor, already in 1992, after the collapse of the USSR.
