MEN’S DAY

Today the country will celebrate Defender of the Fatherland Day, a tradition dating back to 1918. The holiday was originally known as Red Army Day and marks the date of the first mass drafts in Petrograd and Moscow during the Russian Civil War. Observances will include parades and processions to honor veterans of past wars.
