On January 12, 1722, by decree of Peter the Great, under the Senate, the post of Prosecutor General was first established. This is how the institution of the prosecutor’s office arose in the history of Russia, initially in the person of the “attorney on public affairs” Pavel Yaguzhinsky.

On January 26, 1953, the first session of the Customs Cooperation Council took place in Brussels, which later (in 1994) received its current name - the World Customs Organization. The heads of their customs services from 17 European countries were represented there.

30 years later, in 1983, this particular day was chosen as the annual holiday of International Customs Day. More than 800 thousand people celebrate it - this is the total number of customs officers around the world. The Russian customs service - 68 thousand people - is one of the largest.

This professional holiday was established by Decree of the President of Russia No. 1279 of October 31, 2002 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

There is also a version among diplomats that Diplomatic Worker's Day is celebrated on February 10, since it was on this day in 1549 that the earliest mention of the Ambassadorial Prikaz, the first foreign policy department of Russia, occurred.

On this day in 1919, the decree “On the organization of an interdepartmental commission for the protection of railways” was signed. This document was the first on the path to creating railway transport protection.

The modern scale of work of the Russian transport police is enormous. The operational services of the internal affairs bodies in transport (OVDT) include: 17 railways, with a length of more than 86 thousand km; 508 railway stations; 1942 railway bridges; 139 tunnels; 297 overpasses; 150 airports, incl. 64 international; 18 interregional and territorial civil aviation departments; 33 sea and 63 river ports; 10 sea and 25 river shipping companies; 18 state basin river transport departments; the navigable part of the rivers with a length of 89 thousand km; 20 hydraulic structures.

He determined the foundations of the organization of public administration in the country and introduced archives and the public position of an actuary (archivist) in all state authorities, who was to “diligently collect letters, repair registers, re-mark sheets...”.

The reforms of Peter I laid the foundation for the Russian state archival service.

The idea to celebrate International Puppeteer Day all over the world came to the famous puppet theater artist Jivada Zolfaghariho (Iran). In 2000, at the XVIII UNIMA Congress in Magdeburg, he brought this proposal up for discussion. But, despite the fact that the discussion about the place and time of this holiday was very lively, this issue was never resolved. Only two years later, at a meeting of the International Council of UNIMA, the date of the celebration was determined. The tradition of the Festival of Puppeteers around the World was opened on March 21, 2003. It is on this day that all professionals and fans of the puppet theater celebrate International Puppeteer Day.

In 1950, it was on this day that the World Meteorological Organization Convention came into force. The motto of the holiday: “Weather, climate and water in the information era.”

In Russia, the official “start” of the hydrometeorological monitoring system was given 170 years ago by decree of Emperor Nicholas I.

The main goal of Roshydromet is to reduce the threat to the lives of the population and damage to the country’s economy from weather and climate phenomena, ensuring a high level of hydrometeorological security in Russia.

Analysis of data on prevented damage shows that the forecasts of Russian meteorologists make it possible to reduce possible economic losses by an average of 40% (from 15% in the maritime industry to 46% in construction).

Professional holiday for military lawyers, established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 31, 2006 N 549 “On the establishment of professional holidays and memorable days in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.” One of the main directions of ensuring the national security of the Russian Federation is the legal provision of its military security. Strengthening the defense capability of the state, solving by legal means the tasks facing the military organization of the state in the context of emerging new internal, external and trans-border dangers and threats to the vital interests of the individual, society and the state.

Geologist's Day was established to commemorate the merits of Soviet geologists in creating the country's mineral resource base by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR dated March 31, 1966.

Celebrated annually on the first Sunday in April.

The initiators of the appeal to the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR were a group of outstanding Soviet geologists led by Academician A.L. Yanshin. And the reason for the appeal was the discovery in 1966 of the first fields of the West Siberian oil and gas province.

By a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of April 6, 1963, the right to conduct a preliminary investigation was transferred to the Ministry of Public Order, later renamed the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the USSR. The entry into force of the Decree marked the beginning of the official activities of the investigative apparatus of the internal affairs bodies.

On April 8, 1918, by decree of the Council of People's Commissars, volost, district, provincial and district commissariats for military affairs were established. This day is rightfully the birthday of military commissariats.

International Secretaries Day (“Formerly Secretaries Day” aka “Professional Secretaries Week”) began to be celebrated in 1952 in the United States. This day takes place within the framework of the Administrative Professionals Week, which has also become traditional in the United States.

Now this holiday is celebrated not only by secretaries, but also by all those on whom the work of the office depends. These include assistant directors, office managers, and assistants. This profession is one of the five most in demand.

On this day in 1649, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich signed a decree on the creation of the first Russian fire service: “Order on the City Deanery,” which established a strict procedure for extinguishing fires in Moscow. The document, in particular, laid the foundations for a professional fire department, introduced permanent duty, and gave fire patrols the right to punish residents of the capital for violations of the rules for handling fire.

One of the first professional fire brigades was created under Peter I. During his reign, the first fire station was also created under the Admiralty.

It is logical to consider this date as the beginning of the formation of relations between employers and employees in our country.

In any, even the smallest company, there is an employee responsible for working with personnel, and in large structures there are entire departments numbering a dozen or even more people.

Day social worker celebrated on June 8 on the basis of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of October 27, 2000.

The day was not chosen by chance. It was on June 8, 1701 that Peter I adopted a Decree that marked the beginning of the creation state system social protection, “On the determination of almshouses for the poor, sick and elderly in the houses of the Holy Patriarchate.” According to Peter’s decree, “for ten sick people, there should be one healthy person in the almshouse who would look after those sick people and provide all kinds of help for them.”

Every year, on the last Friday of July, administrators of corporate and home networks, databases, mail systems, software systems and other “soldiers of the invisible front” celebrate their professional holiday - System Administrator Day. The profession of a system administrator is akin to the profession of a doctor: if everything works well, they don’t even remember about him... if he doesn’t work, all the people curse him for all the world!

Jerome of Stridon, one of the four Latin Fathers of the Church, was a man of powerful intellect and fiery temperament. He traveled widely and in his youth made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Later he retired for four years to the Chalcis desert, where he lived as an ascetic hermit. Here he studied the Hebrew and Chaldean languages ​​and had, in his own words, “only scorpions and wild animals” as companions. In the desert, he several times heard trumpets announcing the Last Judgment. In Western European painting he is often depicted listening to angels blowing trumpets above his head.

In 386 Jerome settled in Bethlehem. It is here during many years he translated the Old and New Testaments into Latin. Eleven centuries later, its version was proclaimed by the Council of Trent as the official Latin text of Holy Scripture (Vulgate). In addition, it is believed that Jerome was the creator of the Glagolitic alphabet.

According to a popular parable, Jerome removed a thorn from the paw of a lion, who from then on became his devoted friend. Only in 1991 did translators have their own professional holiday: the International Federation of Translators (FIT) proclaimed September 30 (St. Jerome's Day, traditionally considered the patron saint of translators) as International Translators Day.

Even under the Tsar, Russian detective work had its significance and strength. In 1918, the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR approved the Regulations on the organization of criminal investigation departments. The central criminal investigation department, Tsentrorozysk, was organized in October 1918. Since then, special units have been operating under the local police “to maintain order through the secret investigation of crimes of a criminal nature and the fight against banditry.” For many years this service has developed and improved.

Criminal investigation is one of the largest and most important divisions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The service of operatives is constantly associated with risk and dedication. Chases, shootouts, ambushes, one-on-one meetings with a criminal - a criminal investigation officer must be prepared for all this daily, hourly.

On October 6, 1921, Gosstrakh of the RSFSR began its activities. And this date became the day of the birth of insurance activity in Russia.

On this day, the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR adopted the decree “On State Property Insurance,” which marked the actual beginning of the further development of state property insurance in our country. It was envisaged to organize insurance of private households in all rural and urban areas against fires, loss of livestock, hail damage to crops, as well as accidents on water and land transport routes. The Main Directorate of State Insurance (Gosstrakh) was organized as part of the People's Commissariat of Finance, and urban and rural insurance bodies were created locally.

In the USSR, objective prerequisites for the demonopolization of the insurance market arose in connection with the law on cooperation adopted by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on May 26, 1988, which provided for the possibility of creating cooperative insurance institutions. During this period, the first insurance organizations alternative to the USSR State Insurance system began to be created (ASKO, Progress, Rossiya, etc.). This process received a logical continuation in connection with the approval by the Council of Ministers of the USSR of the “Regulations on Joint Stock Limited Liability Companies”, and then the adoption of the RSFSR Law “On Insurance” (1992), when the formation of new insurance companies became widespread.

In 1958, American secretary Patricia Haroski proposed new holiday- Chief's Day. In 1962, this holiday was officially approved by the Governor of Illinois. This tradition was supported by many countries, and October 16 was chosen as the holiday date.

On this day, you need to remember that a boss is not only a big salary and the opportunity to give orders, but it is also work without rest, responsibility for the well-being of subordinates, it is risk and hassle.

Advertiser's Day, or Advertising Worker's Day, is a holiday for all advertisers, marketers and PR people in Russia. Celebrated since 1994. Usually on this day there are festive parties in nightclubs, where the professional holiday is vigorously celebrated.

The word “advertising” comes from the Latin “reclamare” - to shout out. According to the testimony of cultural scientists, in antiquity and the Middle Ages the spiritual life of society was manifested mainly in oral form. This is confirmed by the predominance of oral versions of advertising texts. Their constant part - the cries of traders - subsequently emerged as a special genre.

October 25 has long been considered a significant day in the history of the Russian customs service. It was on this day in 1653 that the Unified Customs Charter first appeared in the country, born from the decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich on the collection of customs duties “in Moscow and Russian cities.” From that moment on, customs became a government service designed to protect the economic interests of the country. And on October 25, 1991, by decree of the President of Russia, the State Customs Committee of the Russian Federation was formed.

The Day of the Customs Officer of the Russian Federation was established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 04.08.95 N 811 “On the establishment of the Day of the Customs Officer of the Russian Federation”.

The history of the current departmental security dates back to October 29, 1952, when the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted the Resolution “On the use in industry, construction and other sectors of the national economy of workers released from security, and measures to improve the organization of security of economic facilities of ministries and departments.”

This act established that the internal affairs bodies in the republics, regional and regional centers, as well as in large cities of republican, regional and regional subordination, create a non-departmental external guard security, whose responsibilities include the protection of economic facilities, regardless of their departmental affiliation. That is why today the private security of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia bears such an unusual, at first glance, name.

Sign Language Interpreter Day was established in January 2003 on the initiative of the Central Board of the All-Russian Society of the Deaf in order to draw public attention to the problems of the deaf.

If in Russia there are only three sign language interpreters per 1000 deaf people, then in Finland there are 300...

The Day of Pre-trial Detention Center and Prison Workers is a new holiday for Russia and there are no traditions for celebrating this holiday yet.

There are no lavish celebrations in correctional institutions. On this day, some prisons open the locks and secrets of their institutions on the occasion of the holiday. Journalists are shown ancient punishment cells in which famous personalities served their sentences.

On November 6, the Bailiff Service of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation celebrates the anniversary of its formation. On this day in 1997, two Federal Laws came into force - “On Bailiffs” and “On Enforcement Proceedings”.

Sberbank of Russia Employee Day has been celebrated since 1998. The date November 12 was not chosen by chance: on October 30 (November 12, new style), 1841, Emperor Nicholas I issued a Decree on the establishment of savings banks in Russia “to provide all kinds of people with insufficient funds for savings in a reliable and profitable way and for accepting small amounts for saving with incremental interest."

The first banking operations date back to the times of ancient world civilizations. But banks in the modern sense are quite young.

And the Russian banking system was formed according to European models and followed them. Today, the country's largest banks are full-fledged players on the world stage. And Sberbank of Russia was the first to enter the world rankings.

Created in 1841 for educational and charitable purposes, it quickly became one of the main elements financial system countries. Sberbank of Russia has changed organizationally and structurally many times, but the essence remains - universality, an extensive branch network, a constant expansion of the number of operations, the introduction of new services and service formats.

In the beginning was the Word... Then many words appeared. And very soon the man realized that the words had to be hidden. Thus began the birth of cryptography. Translated from ancient Greek, “cryptography” means “secret writing”. But even before the introduction of this concept into everyday life, people used the concealment of information using methods available for their time. For example, during the reign of the dynasty of Egyptian pharaohs, a rather peculiar method of transmitting a secret letter was used.

A slave, or more precisely, his head, was chosen as a carrier of information. The head was shaved bald and the text of the message was applied with waterproof vegetable paint. When the hair grew back, it was sent to the recipient. After the slave-carrier of information reached its destination, the hair was shaved again and the written text was read. For ease of processing, the head was first removed from the shoulders. The main disadvantages of this method were the poor efficiency of message transmission and great unreliability. After all, during the journey of the message carrier, he could be killed, he could get sick, and finally, he could simply run away.

A new impetus in the development of encryption was given in connection with the advent of the wire telegraph and the invention of radio. The speed of information transfer has increased disproportionately, and ever larger volumes of it have been subject to interception and reading.

The events of 1917 abruptly stopped the development of Russia as a whole. The leaders of the young Soviet Republic understood that it was extremely “important and very urgent” to create their own encryption and secret service. By a separate order of Lenin, by order of the Revolutionary Military Council No. 217 of November 13, 1918, the “Cyphering Department of the Reporting and Organizational Department of the Organizational Directorate of the All-Russian General Staff” was created with a staff of 14 people.

As historical documents testify, it was on this day, November 14, in 1901 that the Russian Higher School of Social Sciences was opened in Paris, which some consider the first experience of a sociological faculty in the history of world science.

Lectures at this school were given by leading sociologists and politicians of Russia: M. Kovalevsky, N. Kareev, E. De Roberti, P. Milyukov, P. Lavrov and others.

Since 1994, this day has been regularly celebrated at the Faculty of Sociology of St. Petersburg University, where Russian academic (university) sociology itself was born.

On November 17, 1923, the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs of the RSFSR approved the Instructions for the local warden. This regulatory legal document marked the beginning of the formation of the institution of district police officers in the Russian police.

Currently, more than 54 thousand local police commissioners serve in city district internal affairs agencies. They solve every second crime by the public security police and about a quarter of crimes by the criminal police. Under their control are more than 4 million people who are on preventive records of internal affairs bodies.

It is no coincidence that the professional holiday of glass industry workers coincides with the birthday of the outstanding Russian scientist M.V. Lomonosov.

Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov was the creator of the chemical production of glaze, glass, and porcelain. He developed the technology and recipe for colored glass, which he used to create mosaic paintings. Invented porcelain paste.

Representatives of almost all professions have their own holidays, but things are not at all easy with the professional holiday of Russian accountants. In the calendar in honor of Accountant's Day, not a single date is marked in red.

There is no official Accountant's Day in Russia. But most accountants tend to celebrate this holiday on November 21, the day when Russian President Boris Yeltsin signed the Law on Accounting in 1996. By the way, November 21 is also Tax Authorities Day, which once again indicates a strong connection between these specialties.

But Ukrainian accountants celebrate Accountant's Day on July 16; in Ukraine this holiday is officially approved. And there are no discrepancies. In fraternal Belarus, perhaps, very soon such a holiday will be adopted at the state level. Discussions about such a step are ongoing.

Not only the success of an individual enterprise, but also the economy of the entire state depends on the precise and attentive work of accountants. Today in Russia more than 3.5 million people work in this profession.

On this day, in 1996, thanks to the efforts of the ROO, the Resolution of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation approved the qualification characteristics for the position of “Appraiser” (property valuation expert).

For the first time, the request for professional actions of appraisers in Russia was formulated in the first version of the Law on the Privatization of State and Municipal Property, adopted in 1991.

The date of the annual celebration - the third Saturday of December, on the eve of the long New Year holidays - was determined in 1996.

The initiator of the idea was the Moscow Professional Guild, which decided that realtors had done a lot to form a civilized real estate market and were ripe to celebrate their achievements at their own professional holiday.

Among the honored guests of the festive evenings dedicated to the professional holiday are representatives of executive authorities, friendly public organizations, and deputies.

Courier (German: Feldjager) is a military courier for the delivery of important government documents.

On this day in 1796, by Decree of Emperor Paul I, the Correspondence Corps was established in Russia. Not once since that day has the courier service ceased its activities, even during the revolution. To this day, this service remains one of the most secret.

The professional holiday of Russian security officers is celebrated on the basis of the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated December 20, 1995 “On the establishment of the Day of Security Officers of the Russian Federation.”

Previously, this holiday was called Chekist Day. The Day of Russian Security Authorities, as an official professional holiday, dates back to 1995.

It was introduced by decree of the first President of Russia Boris Yeltsin. Currently, this is a professional holiday for employees of the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), the Federal Security Service (FSO) and the Main Directorate of Special Programs of the President of the Russian Federation. During the Soviet period, all of these special services, as main departments, were part of the structure of the State Security Committee (KGB) of the USSR.

Rescuer Day was established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated November 26, 1995 N 1306 “On the establishment of Rescuer Day of the Russian Federation.”

It was on this day in 1990 that the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR formed the Russian Rescue Corps. The date of adoption of this resolution is considered the time of formation of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and is Rescuer Day.

The need to create the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia was caused by the constantly growing number of emergency situations (ES) of a natural, man-made and epidemiological nature. They often become the cause of death and suffering of people, destruction of material values.

Emergencies occur during accidents on transport highways and water surfaces, on main pipelines, during fires and explosions in residential and social buildings, on technological equipment of industrial facilities, during the detection and disposal of unexploded ordnance, during releases of chemically hazardous and radioactive substances, terrorism , hurricanes, heavy rains and snowfalls, floods, epidemics, etc.

Rescuers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations play a key role in search and rescue operations. They are always the first where people need help: in the rubble of destroyed buildings, in the smoke and fire of fires, in mangled vehicles, in flooded areas. They are constantly on duty and promptly respond to any signals about the need to provide assistance to people in trouble.

The rescuers of the Ministry of Emergency Situations have carried out a huge number of search and rescue operations, tens of thousands of lives saved, and hundreds of thousands of cases of providing assistance to victims.

August holidays

August 1: All-Russian collector's day
August 1 is celebrated as All-Russian Cash Cashier's Day. Cash collectors are people on whom the reliability and safety of funds and material assets largely depends. The work of a cash collector is extremely difficult. He must be, as they say, a jack of all trades: not only an experienced security guard, but also a cashier who knows all forms of documents necessary for the transfer of valuables, stamps, details. He is also a specialist in working with complex banking equipment (ATMs of various designs, electronic exchange offices) and, finally, a loader. After all, packaged valuables can be very heavy, weighing up to 50 kilograms (for example, coins - fleet revenue or bullion precious metals) or, conversely, fragile (cassettes in ATMs). In 1988, the service acquired the status of an independent legal entity, subordinate to the Bank of Russia and being its structural entity. The duties of cash collectors include collecting, guarding and delivering cash and other valuables to the bank's cash desk. The word "collection" comes from the Italian incassare, which means "to put in a box."

August 15: Archaeologist's Day
Despite the fact that the history of this holiday is not connected with any events or discoveries and it is not a state or official holiday, archaeologists celebrate it as a professional holiday. Archeology is a completely separate science. All historical events are established either from written sources or from archaeological data. Very, very few written messages are preserved, and sometimes more everyday material than one can imagine. In Russia, this science began to develop in the middle of the 19th century, when Count Alexei Sergeevich Uvarov became interested in archeology. At first, he did not have the slightest idea about the technology of excavation. But it was his research that formed the basis for the further development of the science of antiquities.

Day of Remembrance for Victims of Fascism
The Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Fascism is the Day of Remembrance of tens of millions of people who perished as a result of a gigantic, inhuman experiment. These are millions of soldiers whom the fascist leaders pitted against each other, but even more - civilians who died under bombs, from disease and from hunger. There is no country that would benefit from the rule of the Nazis, there is no nation that would be enriched materially or spiritually as a result of their rule. Since 1962, it has been customary to consider every second Sunday in September as the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism. This day was determined specifically in September, since this month marks two dates associated with the Second World War - the day of its beginning and its complete end. This was one of the reasons for establishing a day of mourning on a September Sunday.
Programmer's Day
Programmer's Day is an unofficial holiday of programmers, celebrated on the 256th day of the year.

IN leap years This holiday falls on September 12, on non-leap days - on September 13.
September 18: Secretary's Day
There is no official professional holiday for secretaries in Russia. But an initiative group of secretaries from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Taganrog, Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk and Perm and the editors of the magazine “[email protected]” decided to correct this injustice and establish the “Secretary’s Day” holiday, which is proposed to be held every third Friday in September.
September 20:

Usually, parents scare young children who are not diligent in their studies with the fate of a janitor in the future. However, every professional is important for the country, be it a doctor or a shoemaker.

Professional holidays in Russia

Some dates are celebrated on a grand scale throughout the country, others are celebrated modestly, in a narrow circle of like-minded people, associates and family members. And there are days marked by the state, but known to a few; even the culprits themselves sometimes do not know when their work can be officially glorified.

It’s all over the place, but in Mother Russia people love to take a walk. So why not hit yourself in the chest at least once a year, boasting of your knowledge, experience and self-importance?!
