Задумался, что за праздник такой сегодня. Про день...

I wondered what kind of holiday this is today. About independence day is very obvious, so we reject. About the day as an image of the whole of Russia is not clear, it is too young a holiday on the scale of a thousand-year history. A lot of things were worthy of celebration or memories, bring together must pass the test of time to celebrate it. The day of victory or cosmonautics is also recent, but the first is an event that allowed the state to remain independent and remain at all at real risk of destruction (and that was not called independence day), the second is objectively young. The scale of the event that took place in 1990 is also not obvious, to say straight out that Russia, its day, is June 12, without a bazaar and doubt. Again, over a thousand years that just was not, decent and not. And then I realized that this is just the date of the establishment of the new regime, by analogy with the celebrations of the Romanovs' house (xs what number) or the day of the revolution (the date is gradually erased from memory). And not very respected regime. And it is not clear where the country's leading regime. Therefore, to celebrate, it turns out, nothing special.
