******************************
Unfortunately, it is not only the Judeo-Christian Church that imposes its holidays on us. It turned out that the holidays were foisted upon us February 23 And March 8, having come up with names for them that have long been familiar to us! In fact, the Jewish Purim is celebrated...From year to year, the entire male population of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and other “friendly” republics celebrates their “men’s” holiday February 23. The female half celebrates their “women’s” holiday March 8- exactly 14 days after February 23. This has been going on for almost a hundred years. People celebrate, congratulate each other and do not even suspect how interconnected these holidays are, and even carry the essence - third a holiday that has nothing to do with either the male or female part of our people, but reflects one “fun” holiday of a people alien to us - the Jewish!
We are well aware that February 23 was originally “Day of the Soviet Army and Navy,” then, after the collapse of the USSR by Chabad Jews, this holiday was renamed “Defender of the Fatherland Day.” But its celebration has not been interrupted for a year since its introduction in 1918, supposedly in honor of the creation of the Red Army (Workers' and Peasants' Red Army).
But was it really so? And why are February 23 and March 8 interconnected and separated from each other by exactly 14 days? What do we really celebrate on February 23 and March 8? Deal with it, dot the dots i , facts from the recent past will help us.
In order to understand the whole truth and the real essence of these holidays that are familiar to us, it is necessary, oddly enough, to start with an unfamiliar Jewish holiday, which is celebrated by all Jews (i-udei - those who excise the oud, and oud is the old name for the male genital organ). At the same time, it is considered the most fun and most important of all Jewish holidays. And this “interesting” holiday is called Purim.
So what was so important that happened in ancient times that the Jews approved a holiday in honor of this event, and even marked it in their calendar, as the most important of all the Jewish holidays? As the Jews themselves say, this Not religious holiday. This is what the Jewish Encyclopedia says about it, emphasizing that this holiday "not associated with any temple or any religious event"(“Jewish Encyclopedia”, vol. 13. M., art. 123).
However, February 23- this is according to the old style. But, as soon as Russia switched to a new calendar, February 23 became March 8! The Jews did not make a mistake here either. Now we just have to remember that the coming of the Jewish International to power in Russia was associated with a change in the calendar, and ask: when was the day now called March 8 celebrated in the revolutionary circles of pre-revolutionary Russia?
It turns out that March 8 according to the new style - this is February 23 the old way. Here is the answer to why the “men’s” day and the “women’s” day are so close to each other, and why the difference between these holidays is exactly 14 days. Exactly on 14 days The calendar dates differed according to the old style, which was in use in Tsarist Russia, and the new style, which was used in Europe. By the way, we still celebrate Judeo-Christian Christmas according to the old style with a difference of 14 days from Catholic Christmas.
The riots of allegedly starving women residents of Petrograd on February 23, 1917 were timed to coincide with Women's Revolutionary Day.
It turns out that when European brothers in the International celebrated March 8, in Russia this day was called February 23. Therefore, in the pre-revolutionary years, party members and their sympathizers were accustomed to consider February 23 a holiday. Then the calendar was changed, but the tradition remained of celebrating something revolutionary on February 23. There was a date. In principle, given the floating nature of Purim, this date is no worse or better than March 8. But it was necessary to find a cover for her. And a few years later the corresponding myth was created: "Red Army Day", as a memory supposedly “of the first battle and the first victory.”
This is how the tradition of celebrating Purim led to the establishment of a women's holiday March 8. And on the well-known initiative of the Jewish woman Clara Zetkin (real Jewish surname Eisner), March 8 was quickly announced, neither more nor less, as “International Women’s Day.” After all, everyone knows that March 8 is International Women's Day. Everyone also knows that women live in all countries. In addition, almost everyone has learned in recent years that March 8 celebrated only in the USSR. Why didn’t women in other countries celebrate it?
So it was not a woman's day, as a woman. On this day, women with certain qualities were to be glorified. And for some reason these qualities were not very valued in other countries. And the reason for this strangeness is obvious: March 8 is not Women's Day, and the day of the bloody revolutionary woman. And therefore, in those countries where the revolutionary wave of the early twentieth century died out, the celebration of the revolutionary woman did not take root.
But still, to be precise, this is International Day of Esther, Jewish criminal, female killer. That is, in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, unsuspecting people celebrate Purim twice!
Changing the date of the holiday each time (according to the Jewish calendar, Purim Day is a floating day, falling on different days every year) was inconvenient and too obvious: it would be too noticeable that only Purim is celebrated. Therefore, every year on March 8, regardless of lunar cycles, all peoples of the earth must glorify the sadistic woman, the evil Jew - Esther. But in fact, to celebrate the massacre of tens of thousands of innocent people, that is, to congratulate each other on Purim (even despite the fact that they do not know the truth).
The fall of the Russian Empire coincided with the defeat of the Persian Empire. Since Purim 1917, there has been a smell of pogrom in Russia - a pogrom of Russian culture...
This holiday had several names:
- Soviet Army Day;
- Birthday of the Red Army;
- Birthday of the armed forces and navy.
Why is February 23rd considered Defenders of the Fatherland Day, and not any other date?
The history of this holiday is as follows:
Immediately after the victory of the armed uprising in Petrograd on October 24-25 (November 7-8, new style), 1917, counter-revolutionary protests fell on the young Soviet republic, and the Soviet government had to actively fight them. At that time, the Armed Forces of Soviet Power were the Red Guard detachments of revolutionary soldiers and sailors.
In order to protect the Soviet state from Kaiser Germany, the Soviet government began organizing regular armed forces. On January 15 (28 according to the present day) 1918, the Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars V.I. Ulyanov (Lenin) signed the decree “On the organization of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army (RKKA), and on January 29 (11.02 according to the present day) - the decree "On the organization of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Fleet" (RKKF).
On February 18, 1918, Austro-German (there were 39 German divisions) and Turkish troops, violating the truce that was concluded on December 2 (15), 1917, invaded Soviet Russia and began to occupy Ukraine, Belarus and the Baltic states. On February 21, German troops captured Minsk. On this day, the Soviet government addressed the people with the slogan “The Socialist Fatherland is in danger!”
On February 23, 1919, Red Army Day was held in Petrograd under the slogan of defending the socialist Fatherland from the “Kaiser’s troops” (in documents of that time, “German” or “German” troops were not used, but only “Kaiser’s”). At a meeting of the Petrograd Council of Workers and Red Army Deputies, dedicated to the anniversary of the creation of the Red Army, the Chairman of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee, Ya. M. Sverdlov, made a welcoming speech, emphasizing that the Red Army was created primarily against a foreign enemy. In 1923, in honor of the Day of the Red Army and Navy, an order of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Republic was first issued.
Later, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee decided to combine the anniversary of the Red Army with another propaganda event - the so-called “Red Gift Day”. Soon, Pravda notified the workers: “The organization of the Red Gift Day throughout Russia has been postponed to February 23. On this day, celebrations of the anniversary of the creation of the Red Army will be organized in cities and at the front...”
And yet, initially February 23 was celebrated as the birthday of the Red Army in honor of the victory near Narva and Pskov over German troops. The day of the first victory became the army's birthday. This seemed to indicate her fate for the future. Starting with victory, she has since crushed the enemies of our Motherland more than once. There was not a single invader who did not feel the power of her weapons. The army began to be called the Soviet, and then the Russian, and February 23 was annually celebrated in the USSR as a national holiday - the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy, to commemorate the general mobilization of revolutionary forces to defend the socialist Fatherland, as well as the courageous resistance of the Red Army units to the invaders.
After the collapse of the USSR, February 23 was renamed Defender of the Fatherland Day. On February 10, 1995, the State Duma of Russia adopted the federal law “On the days of military glory (victorious days) of Russia,” in which this day is named as follows: “February 23 is the Day of the Red Army’s victory over the Kaiser’s troops of Germany (1918) - Defender of the Fatherland Day.” , the same applies to Belarus.
The festive event for which enterprising ladies begin to prepare immediately after New Year's week is February 23. Today its official name is Defender of the Fatherland Day. All men receive congratulations, regardless of whether they served in the army or not. For 100 years now, this date has been marked in red in all Russian calendars. All that remains is to find out why it always falls on February 23rd?
Creation of the Red Army
Since the victory of the 1917 revolution, the young state needed a reliable military platform capable of withstanding the onslaught of not only the internal enemies of the proletariat, but also external interventionists. The greatest danger was posed by the Kaiser's Germany, which was rapidly conquering neighboring countries. The young Soviet Union was the main target of the German occupiers.
The new government managed to invest about 20 million rubles in the creation of the armed forces - an astronomical amount in those days. The first Decree on an army of workers and peasants (RKKA) was issued on January 28, 1918 (new style). However, chaos reigned on the front line. Few people were aware of the advisability of risking their own lives on the bloody fields of unequal battles.

The formation of the armed forces proceeded slowly and confusedly. In an address to the population, the leader of the country called for voluntarily joining the army to help defeat the invaders who conquered one city after another with impunity. The first collection point opened in Petrograd on February 21. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, signed in early March 1918, became the starting point for the right to life of the Soviet Union.
Calendar twists and turns from February 23
According to one version, in 1919, the head of the military commission of the Red Army N. Podvoisky sent a proposal to the All-Russian Central Executive Committee on January 28 to celebrate the anniversary of the Red Army (in honor of the signing of the Decree). This request did not raise any objections, but consideration began a little later. At the insistence of the Moscow City Council, they decided to set the date on February 17, coinciding with the Red Gift Day (donations for military needs for soldiers). The postponement to the 23rd was considered appropriate because it was Sunday. This is how the first anniversary was celebrated.

According to other sources, from 1938 to 1942, February 23 was called a holiday in honor of the first victory of the valiant army near Pskov and Narva over the German invaders. Subsequently, information about dubious achievements was deleted from the interpretation. For the next two years, the holiday fell into oblivion. Probably there was no time for him due to the preoccupation of the government and the population with more important matters. But since 1922, the Red Army Day has been revived again. From that moment on, the date February 23rd forever became scarlet in all printed calendars.
Defender of the Fatherland Day is celebrated annually in Russia on February 23 as a national holiday. It originates during the existence of the Soviet Union, when the holiday was celebrated in honor of the Soviet Army and Navy.
History of the holiday
There was no official document establishing February 23 as an official Soviet holiday. For the first time in this vein, February 23 was mentioned in 1918, when mass rallies were held in Moscow and other cities of the country, at which workers were called upon to defend their Fatherland from the advancing German troops. Then began the mass entry of volunteers into the Red Army and its formation.
A year later, Russian citizens celebrated February 23 for the first time as the anniversary of the Red Army. However, in 1920-1921 this holiday was not celebrated.
In subsequent years, the country widely celebrated the fifth and tenth anniversary of the Red Army. Moreover, if January 28 was considered the anniversary of the formation of the Soviet Armed Forces, then February 23 was celebrated - the anniversary of the publication of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars, "which laid the foundation for the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army."

February 23 has been considered the date of birth of the Red Army since 1938, when a fundamentally new version of the origin of the holiday was outlined, not related to the decree of the Council of People's Commissars. This time he was associated with the battles of the Red Army against German troops in 1918 near Narva and Pskov.
In 1951, another interpretation of the holiday appeared. The “History of the Civil War in the USSR” stated that in 1919 the first anniversary of the Red Army was celebrated in connection with the mobilization of workers “to defend the socialist Fatherland, the mass entry of workers into the Red Army, the widespread formation of the first detachments and units of the new army.”
After the collapse of the USSR, February 23 began to be celebrated in honor of the victory of the Red Army over the Kaiser’s troops of Germany in 1918.
11 years later, words about the victory of the Red Army were excluded from the official description of the holiday, and the concept of “defender” was stated in the singular.
In December 2001, the State Duma supported the proposal to make February 23 a non-working holiday.

February 23, due to established traditions, has become a national national holiday dedicated to all generations of defenders of the Fatherland. Throughout their centuries-old history, Russians have selflessly defended the sovereignty and independence, and sometimes the right to exist, of the Russian state in numerous wars.
Military personnel of the army and navy of modern Russia responsibly fulfill their military duty, reliably ensuring the protection of national interests and the military security of the country.
Real Men's Day
On February 23, Russians honor those who served or are currently serving in the ranks of the country's Armed Forces. But the majority of Russian citizens tend to consider February 23 as the Day of real men, defenders in the broadest sense of the word.

February 23 is celebrated with a festive artillery salute in the hero cities of Moscow, St. Petersburg, Volgograd, Novorossiysk, Tula, Sevastopol, Smolensk and Murmansk, as well as in the cities where the headquarters of military districts, fleets, combined arms armies and the Caspian Flotilla are stationed.
February 23 in South Ossetia
In South Ossetia, February 23 is considered a holiday and a non-working day. In the republic, February 23 is celebrated with a solemn public meeting and the presentation of state awards to the Defender of the Fatherland. February 23 is considered a holiday in connection with the formation of the Ministry of Defense of South Ossetia; this year the department will celebrate its 24th anniversary.

However, in the minds of the population, the holiday has taken root, as in Russia, since Soviet times. They honor not only employees of law enforcement agencies, but also all men, since in the almost 20-year history of South Ossetia’s wars for freedom and independence, both people in uniform and formally “civilians” equally courageously participated in them.
February 23- red day of the calendar.
On this Father and Grandfather's Day
Congratulations to the whole family!
Indeed, on this day, all attention is paid to our men. On this day we celebrate Defenders of the Fatherland Day and give them gifts! For many in Russia, it has become the day of men, or more precisely, the day of real men who serve in the army, or once served, or have yet to undergo military service.
The only time a year we can somehow highlight that we have a real defender, not only of the Fatherland, but also of our own family. We congratulate not only the veterans, but also our fathers and husbands for their warmth and care for us. Our big and little sons, because they love us unselfishly and are always ready to come to our aid.
How did this holiday come about, and why exactly February 23? Let's take a look at our history...
In Russia, before the Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917, traditionally the Day of the Russian Army was considered the holiday of May 6 - the Day of St. George, the patron saint of Russian soldiers. On this day, soldiers of the Russian army took part in ceremonial parades. On this day they were awarded St. George's crosses and other awards. On this day, everyone visited churches and remembered the soldiers who died for Great Rus'!.. Such a solemn and great day it was.
We honor the sons of the Fatherland in uniform,
That the glory of the flag is multiplied,
And in a difficult and dangerous age
Our peaceful sleep is reliably guarded!
After the revolution, this holiday was banned, and to replace it in 1918, a new date was established - February 23 - Red Army Day.
In September 1938, the Pravda newspaper published a “Short Course on the History of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks,” where the rationale for this holiday was given. Its meaning was that it was at this time that the Red Army began to intensively form, because the government, represented by the party, “threw a cry to the masses” about the danger threatening the country. Near Narva and Pskov, the German occupiers were given a decisive rebuff. The day of repulse to the troops of German imperialism - February 23 - became the birthday of the young Red Army."
Whether it's true or false, historians disagree. And it is not our task to investigate this issue. It remains reliable that February 23 in our country was celebrated first as Red Army Day, then it was renamed Soviet Army Day.
February 23 is the Day of Military Glory of Russia, which our soldiers gained on the battlefields and emerged victorious. Let's remember the history of the Great Patriotic War:
February 23, 1943 - defeat of the Germans at Stalingrad! 200 thousand German soldiers were captured, along with Field Marshal Paulus.
February 23, 1944 - on this day, the government awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union to more than 200 generals, officers, sergeants and privates for their feats of arms. Several thousand soldiers were awarded orders and medals! They really deserve it. As well as ensuring that our children and grandchildren know about their military exploits.
Since 1993, this holiday began to be called Defender of the Fatherland Day. This concept contains a huge meaning - to love, honor and worthily defend our Fatherland!
And our soldiers and officers have proven that they can proudly bear the title of Defender of the Fatherland! This is a holiday for all the people. After all, every family on this day will hear congratulations and kind words for our grandfathers, fathers, sons, and grandchildren. May their lives always be illuminated by the great glory of the victories of the Russian Army and the power of Russian weapons, love and devotion to their Motherland!
Let the sun shine in a peaceful sky
And the trumpet does not call for a hike.
So that only during training soldiers
He went forward to attack.
Let there be spring thunder instead of explosions
Nature awakens from sleep,
And our children sleep peacefully
Today, tomorrow and always!
Good health and happiness
To all those who defended our world.
And who is guarding him today?
And who repaid the debt to the Motherland in full!
