Today we celebrate Russia Day, a national holiday, which arose in 1994. However, until 2002, he wore a different name — Day of Declaration of State Sovereignty of the RSFSR.

After all, this national holiday, which marks the foundation of the state, or the separation of the country, or the end of the occupation. It is the embodiment of democratic ideas, demonstration of social responsibility and justice.
