Happy Defender of the Fatherland Day: the best short poems are the most sincere and funny

In Russia, Defender of the Fatherland Day is celebrated on February 23, an important state holiday symbolizing military glory, courage and patriotism. Initially, military personnel and veterans of the country's Armed Forces were honored on this day. Later, it transformed into a "men's day", when congratulations are accepted by all men, regardless of age and military service. In 2026, the date falls on a Monday. Especially for the celebration, Izvestia has prepared short poems that can be learned with children in kindergarten, school, or sent as congratulations.
