History of the Russian Day holiday

In 1990, on June 12, at the first congress of people's deputies of the RSFSR, the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the RSFSR was adopted. Two years later the Supreme Council Russian Federation adopted a resolution according to which the country had new holiday- “The Day of Adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Federation.” Its second name is Independence Day. The adoption of the declaration was the beginning new era in the life of a state that has an interesting history, and its people have tremendous will, which has been confirmed more than once in the most difficult moments of life.

In 1998, head of state Boris Yeltsin proposed renaming the holiday “Russia Day.” After the new one was adopted in 2002 Labor Code, this name remained behind this holiday.

In 2018, Russia Day falls on Tuesday. But since the working day of June 11 was moved by government decision to Saturday, June 9, Russians will rest for three days - from June 10 to June 12 inclusive.
