On our own wave: why we celebrate Navy Day on July 27

The Sailors' Holiday was established by Peter the Great

At midnight on July 27, Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated the servicemen on the Day of the Russian Navy. He noted that the Russian navy has been the pride of the country since the time of Emperor Peter the Great.

The Day of the Russian Navy was officially established in 1939 by order of the People's Commissar of Defense of the USSR Kliment Voroshilov. However, the idea of the holiday appeared much earlier — even under Peter I. After the victory at Cape Gangut on July 27 (Old style), 1714, the emperor ordered that this date be celebrated annually as the Day of Naval valor.
