The public holiday was established in honour of events of 1612 when Russian voluntary troops commanded by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky liberated Moscow from foreign invaders.
In 2005, the Russian government made November 4th a public holiday.
The holiday is linked with the heroic pages in the history of the Russian people; it implicates the idea of national consent, cohesion and unity.
More than 200 festive events will be held in the Vologda Region on the occasion of National Unity Day. These are patriotic concerts, exhibitions, contests, open lessons, sports competitions, festivals of national cultures, quizzes, as well as passport presentation ceremonies for citizens of the Russian Federation.
The Vologda Region is a diverse assemblage of ethnicities and faiths. But marking national occasions like People’s Unity Day helps all Russian citizens realize that they are one people with a shared past and a shared future.
