More than a million Russians celebrates its professional
More than a million Russians mark their professional holiday - Day of the railway. It is the oldest holiday industry in the country and dates back to July 91896 when he was first proclaimed in the order of the Minister of Communications of the Russian Empire - Prince Michael Hilkova. This date is chosen not by chance - it tied up with the birthday of Emperor Nicholas I, in which in Russia were built first and Tsarskoye Selo railway line Petersburg and Moscow. In those years, the feast of any central or local rail agencies were not working, and in the evening in the ceremonial hall of the Pavlovsk held a gala dinner and a concert. At major stations and railway stations arranged thanksgiving. Thus the industry was celebrated holiday until June 251917. After that, the Bolsheviks came to power, abolished all holidays, established under the tsarist regime and Railroad Day reappeared in the calendar only after 19 years. In 1936 the Soviet railroad for the first time in many years exceeded the established plan of operations. In connection with such success at a meeting of workers in the sector, held in Moscow on 25-30 July 1935 it was decided to appeal to the leadership of the country to continue to celebrate the successes of their labor. According to the decision of the CEC of the USSR of July 281936 July 30 every year, it was decided to celebrate the "day-Union Railway USSR." The new holiday declared by popular and its first celebration in the shortest possible time organized around the country. Its current date - the first Sunday of August - Day of the railwayman found in 1940 when there was a decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, the transfer of celebration "from July 30 to next Sunday." Despite its more than a century, the tradition of the holiday have not lost their scope and color: folk festivals and concerts will take place today in all the cities connected with steel backbones, many stations will play brass bands. Passengers waiting for surprises and, of course, a good mood.
