The question of what holiday is celebrated in Russia today does not lose its relevance. Many citizens of our country understand perfectly well that we have a large number of holidays, which are sometimes very problematic to keep track of.

Today is no exception, because October 11 marks several holidays at once, namely: International Day of Girls, as well as Kharitonov Day, which is celebrated according to the folk calendar.

All girls in the world have their own holiday. An expression of recognition of their rights, as well as the fact that there are special problems unique to them, was the proclamation by the UN General Assembly of October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child. The initiator of the establishment of such a date was Canada.

The holiday is still very young. It was first celebrated in 2012. Official events held on this day are aimed at informing society about the problems of gender inequality and discrimination, violence, harassment and forced marriage at an early age.

And various thematic events, meetings and seminars are designed to emphasize the need to respect all social rights of girls.

Day of the Venerable Chariton the Confessor, who lived in the Asia Minor city of Iconium at the turn of the 3rd-4th centuries. Like other brothers in faith, he became a martyr during the reign of Emperor Aurelian: the pagans beat Chariton and imprisoned him, from which he was freed by the arrival of a new emperor on the throne.

Having barely gotten rid of his shackles, Khariton headed to the Holy Land. Before reaching Jerusalem, he was captured by robbers, who dragged him to their cave. They probably would have dealt with him cruelly, but it so happened that one of the snakes added poison to a vessel of wine, and after drinking it, the dashing people died immediately.

Seeing this as a sign from God, Khariton founded a church in the cave, and soon a community of his disciples gathered there. This is how the Faran Lavra arose - the first monastery of the Judean desert.

People considered the day far from good, not only not planning to host a visit with friends, but also not going out to their yard unless absolutely necessary, believing that unkind passers-by could easily jinx it or even cause damage. Moreover, people with dark eye color seemed most dangerous: “Unkind eye, don’t look at us,” “The eye is not clean, not good, black,” “Be afraid of the brown and black eye.”

They didn’t sweep dirty linens out of the hut and didn’t bother about the house at all, without committing what were bad omens, and they talked about it like this: “Khariton - there’s damage in the hut.” So the peasants had to - which, in general, was unusual for them - spend many hours in idleness.

True, the young people preparing for the wedding could take a risk and, taking a gift of a pot of honey and a pie, appease the witch, so that she would not make the girl unable to conceive and would not break the paths leading to the wedding of the young people.

On October 11, the Republic of Bashkortostan celebrates its holiday. On this day in 1990, the Declaration of State Sovereignty was proclaimed by the Supreme Council of the country. Republic Day is considered a holiday, so celebrations are held in all cities. You can see fairs, horse races, celebrations, fireworks, shows and so on.

The republic is part of the Volga Federal District. It borders the Perm Territory, Udmurtia, Tatarstan and other regions. This region boasts a very ancient history. People already lived here 10 thousand years BC. Even the ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote about the Bashkirs. He called them an independent people.

In 1992, on October 11, the chairman of the presidium of the Supreme Council of the country signed a decree on the creation of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff. Officially, this date is considered the Day of the Armed Forces of Abkhazia.

The decree was signed at the height of the Patriotic War. It is worth noting that the country's armed forces were created in combat conditions. A modern and powerful army, even today, is the main guarantee of the existence of an independent state.

This day is very rich in birthdays. So, on October 11, they honor Alexander, Alexey, Anatoly, Anna, Athanasius, Valentina, Vasily, Vyacheslav, George, Gregory, Ivan, Illarion, Ilya, Isaac, Cyril, Makar, Maria, Mark, Matthew, Moses, Prokhor, Sergei, Tatyana , Fedora, Khariton.

In 1702 Russian troops captured the Swedish fortress of Noteburg, built on Lake Ladoga, opposite the city of Shlisselburg. Since 1612, the fortress was part of Sweden. Peter I, who at that time was fighting the Northern War, considered the capture of Noteburg to be a priority task. However, these plans could not be realized without a fleet, since the Noteburg fortress was located on an island. Thirteen ships were built specifically for its assault in Arkhangelsk. The siege began on September 27, 1702, and ten days later the fortress was taken by storm and, again becoming Russian, was renamed Shlisselburg.

In 1783 The Russian Academy was founded in St. Petersburg. Its difference from the Academy of Sciences was that it was created to develop not the exact sciences, but the humanities. By order of the Empress, the Russian Academy was headed by Ekaterina Dashkova, who saw the main task of the academy in “writing grammar and dictionary.” Dashkova did a lot for the development of the Academy. Thanks to her efforts, new fonts appeared in the academic printing house, and new books appeared in the library. A lot of work was done to compile a catalog of books, put the mineral collections and archive in order, as well as improve the staff of the Academy.

In 1852 The University of Sydney was inaugurated, organized by the decision of the traveler, journalist and politician William Wentworth from the existing Sydney College. At first, the University of Sydney had only three professors on staff, with 24 students studying with them. Today, the University of Sydney is a member of the Australian “Group of Eight”, which, similar to the American “Ivy League”, unites the most prestigious educational institutions in the country, and its 2,300 teachers teach about 46 thousand students.

In 1931 In the USSR, private trade was completely eliminated and the period of NEP, the new economic policy, which replaced “war communism” in 1922, ended. Thanks to the NEP, the economy revived and the destructive consequences of “war communism” were quickly overcome. However, at the end of the 1920s, persecution began against rural private owners and urban “nepmen”, which ended in confiscation of property, deprivation of their political rights and prosecution.

In 1961 In Semipalatinsk, the first underground nuclear explosion took place at a former test site. Over the years of the test site's existence, 456 nuclear explosions were carried out there, as well as 175 explosions in which chemical explosives were involved. In 1991, the Semipalatinsk test site was closed by Decree of the President of the Kazakh SSR N. Nazarbayev; Since April 1996, the National Nuclear Center of Kazakhstan and the Nuclear Security Agency of the US Department of Defense signed an agreement, according to which work began on the elimination of tunnels and adits of the test site. The Semipalatinsk test site ceased to exist on July 29, 2000, after the explosion of the last adit.

In 1982 In the Solent Strait, located west of Portsmouth, a multi-ton part of the hull of the English combat sailing ship Mary Rose, which sank in July 1545, was raised. This ship was built on the personal orders of Henry VIII, but sank, according to researchers, due to overload and unsuccessful maneuvering in the strait. The ship was found in 1965 by the English writer and submariner A. McKee, after which funds were raised by a specially created fund, and the raising of the ship began in 1982. Despite a number of technical difficulties, it ended successfully, and a separate pavilion of the museum complex in Portsmouth houses a preserved fragment of the legendary ship.

In 1994 There was a “collapse” of the ruble against the dollar exchange rate, caused by unprecedented inflation. This Tuesday, popularly nicknamed “black”, the Moscow International Currency Exchange registered an increase in the dollar exchange rate from 3081 to 3926 rubles.

October 11th is celebrated International Day of the Girl Child(International Day of the Girl Child), which was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in December 2011 (resolution 66/170) in recognition of the rights of girls.

This date calls for a focus on the need to address the challenges faced by girls around the world and promote the empowerment of girls and the realization of their rights.

Adolescent girls have the right to safety, education and health not only during critical formative years, but also as they grow into women. With effective support during adolescence, girls can realize their potential and make a difference by becoming mothers, workers, entrepreneurs, mentors, heads of households and political leaders.

There are 1 billion young people in the world today, including 600 million teenage girls. They all have enormous potential to transform our future. However, they face discrimination and harassment every day in every corner of the world.

Investments (social, economic and political) in the empowerment of adolescent girls ensure that their rights are respected today and promise a fairer and more prosperous future, one in which women are equal partners in tackling climate change, resolving political conflict, and driving economic growth. , disease prevention and sustainable development.

Over the past 15 years, the global community has made significant progress in improving the lives of girls in early childhood. However, there is clearly not enough investment in addressing the challenges girls face as they enter the second decade of their lives. This is about obtaining a quality secondary and higher education, the ability to avoid child marriage, providing them with information and services related to puberty and reproductive health, and the ability to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases and gender-based violence.

Investment is needed to break the vicious cycle in which one generation inherits poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination, and to achieve equitable and sustainable development results.

Therefore, every year the events within the framework of the Day are dedicated to a specific topic. Girls' Day was first celebrated in 2012 and was dedicated to a problem that is pressing for many countries around the world - child marriage, which constitutes a violation of fundamental human rights and negatively affects all aspects of girls' lives, depriving them of childhood and threatening the health and lives of girls.

In 2013, the Day was dedicated to the theme “Innovative approach to girls’ education”, which is also relevant for modern society. Indeed, despite the significant progress achieved in recent years in the accessibility of education for girls, many of them are still deprived of this fundamental right for a number of reasons, including: financial difficulties of the family, low quality of education in some countries, household chores and worries, etc. d.

In 2014, in recognition of the important role of investing in and empowering girls during adolescence, and preventing and ending the various forms of violence they experience, the theme of the Day was “Empowering Adolescent Girls: Breaking the Cycle of Violence.” "

The theme for the 2015 Day was “Investing today to help contribute to our world tomorrow”, which continued the 2014 theme of the need and important role of investing in and empowering girls during adolescence.

In 2016, the theme of the Day was: “Advancing girls means making progress towards goals: what matters to girls.” Information must be collected to take into account the factors affecting the situation of girls around the world. This will identify ways to address the challenges faced by girls and will also help inform the development of appropriate policies and programmes.

In 2017, Girls' Day marks the beginning of years of work to galvanize global attention and action on the challenges and opportunities girls face before, during and after crises. And in 2018, a campaign will be launched to bring partners and stakeholders together to highlight the need to invest in and address girls' most pressing issues and improve their employment opportunities.

And today, on the International Day of the Girl Child, all states are encouraged to hold thematic events dedicated to discussing possible ways to solve girls’ problems.

World Sight Day

World Sight Day World Sight Day is celebrated on the second Thursday of October at the initiative of the World Health Organization (WHO).

This date is marked on the calendar to draw global attention to the problems of blindness, visual impairment and rehabilitation of people with visual impairments. Various organizations related to this problem take part in World Sight Day. The day is also the main event of the global initiative to prevent blindness, Vision 2020: The Right to Sight, created by WHO and the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.

Blindness is the inability to see. Leading causes of chronic blindness include cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, corneal opacities, trachoma, and eye diseases in children (such as those caused by vitamin A deficiency). Age-related blindness and blindness caused by uncontrolled diabetes are on the rise worldwide.

According to the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, approximately 253 million people have vision problems, of whom 36 million have no vision at all, and 217 million have moderate or severe vision impairment. Eye diseases affect more than 19 million children. Moreover, 65% of all people with visual impairments are people aged 50 years and older. And as the number of older people increases in many countries in recent years, more people will be at risk of age-related vision loss. However, 80% of blindness cases could be avoided with timely treatment.

As part of World Sight Day, educational and preventive activities are carried out aimed at preventing eye diseases. In some countries, during this time, residents have the opportunity to be examined by an ophthalmologist. After all, regular eye examinations by a specialist help to identify possible problems at the earliest stages, and therefore take timely preventive measures and avoid big problems.

In addition, do not forget about measures to prevent eye diseases. Thus, doctors advise stopping smoking, since nicotine has a detrimental effect on vision; regularly consume foods that strengthen the blood vessels of the retina: blueberries, black currants, carrots, cod liver, greens; spend less time in front of the TV and playing electronic games; and when working at a computer, use a modern monitor and high-quality programs.

Remember that regularly visiting an ophthalmologist and following simple rules of life will help you maintain good vision for a long time.

Republic Day of Bashkortostan

Monument to Salavat Yulaev in Ufa

Bashkortostan celebrates October 11 Republic Day- Day of adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Bashkir Soviet Socialist Republic. On this day in 1990, the Supreme Council of the Republic proclaimed the Declaration of State Sovereignty.

Republic Day is a day off, and on this day, festive events are held in all cities and regions - ceremonial speeches by government officials and the public, festive concerts, performances by creative groups, horse racing, fairs, folk festivals, various shows, fireworks and fireworks.

The Republic of Bashkortostan is part of the Volga Federal District and is part of the Ural Economic Region. It borders on Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Perm Territory, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk and Orenburg regions.

The capital of the Republic is the city of Ufa.
This region has a very ancient history - people lived here 10 thousand years BC. The ancient Greek historian Herodotus wrote about the Bashkirs, calling them “an independent people.” The country formed here, Bashkortostan, received its name from the name of the indigenous people living in this area. The Russian (Slavic) name of the country - Bashkiria - was established later, at the end of the 16th century, when the Bashkirs voluntarily became part of Russia.

One of the main attractions of the republic is the monument to the hero of the national epic Salavat Yulaev, located in Ufa. The huge monument, which weighs about 40 tons, represents a rider frozen in a rapid run. Despite its enormous weight, the sculpture is supported by only three support points. This composition, erected in 1967, is to this day the largest statue of a horseman in Russia. The same majestic monument is also decorated with the coat of arms of the republic.
Bashkortostan is famous not only for its architectural and sculptural monuments created by human hands, but also for the creations of nature.

By the way, it was in Bashkortostan in 1892 that private entrepreneur Ivan Kanshin founded “Russian Switzerland” - a kumiss clinic, which over time turned into a sanatorium. At the end of 2010, this area received official status as a natural monument.

As souvenirs, guests of the republic take away from Bashkortostan “correct” Bashkir skullcaps, women’s national headdresses and gift felt slippers.

Kharitonov's day was considered unkind among the people

Old style date: September 28

On this day, the memory of the Monk Chariton the Confessor, who lived in the 3-4 centuries in Iconium (a city in Asia Minor), is celebrated. During the persecution of Christians carried out by Emperor Aurelian, he suffered for his faith. The pagans brutally beat the martyr and imprisoned him, from where he emerged only during the reign of Emperor Tacitus. Having received freedom, Khariton went to the Holy Land, but not far from Jerusalem he was captured by robbers and brought to their cave. The saint was saved from death by a snake, which poisoned the wine with its poison.

The robbers drank it and died, and Khariton remained to live in the cave where he built a church. Soon he had followers who formed a community. Christians formed the Faran Lavra, the first monastic monastery in the Judean desert.

Kharitonov's day was considered unkind among the people. On this day you had to stay at home, not go to visit people and, if possible, not even go out into the yard, so that evil people do not jinx it and cause damage. Household chores were also not to be done; under no circumstances was it permissible to sweep dirty linen out of the hut - this was considered a bad omen. Thus, the peasants, willy-nilly, had to remain idle all day. “Khariton - damage in the hut”, - people lamented about this.

On this day, one should especially be wary of brown-eyed, and even more so, black-eyed people. “Be afraid of brown and black eyes”; “The eye is not clean, not good, black”; "Evil eye, don't look at us", - this is how our ancestors spoke about people capable of casting the evil eye.

On Khariton, the bride and groom secretly came to the village witch, treated her to a pie and gave her a pot of honey. So they tried to appease the witch so that she would not upset the wedding and would not cause infertility to her future wife.

Festival of passion

In the game of fate, devoid of rules,

so that they don’t forget their attraction to her,

The Creator generously provided us with

ardor and excitement and gloom...

Church holiday according to the folk calendar - Kharitonov Day

Few people know what church holiday is today. On this day, Orthodox Christians honor the memory of St. Chariton the Confessor, who lived in Asia Minor in the city of Iconium in the 3rd-4th centuries.

Chariton suffered for his faith during the persecution of Christians by Emperor Aurelian. The martyr was brutally beaten by the pagans and then imprisoned for many years, from which he was able to emerge only during the reign of Emperor Tacitus.

After his release, Khariton went to the Holy Land, but he was captured by robbers near Jerusalem itself. They brought him to their cave, where the saint was saved from death by a snake, which poisoned the wine that the robbers drank with its poison. After this, Khariton built a church in this cave, he gained followers and a community formed.

In Kharitonov's Rus', the day was considered unkind by the people. On this day, our ancestors sat at home and did not go to visit, or even to the yard, so that they would not be jinxed or damaged by evil people.

It was believed that one should not do household chores, especially sweeping dirty linen in public. The peasants had to remain idle all this day.

On this day, people were especially afraid of brown-eyed or black-eyed people, who, according to the beliefs of our ancestors, were capable of bringing the evil eye.

The bride and groom on Khariton came secretly to the village witch and tried to appease her so that she would not upset their wedding and would not cause infertility to the bride. For this, the future newlyweds brought treats to the witch - pies and gave a pot of honey.
