All Russians already know that next Monday, June 12, 2017, a big holiday for the large population of our country is the Day of Russia.

It is worth noting that the Day of Russia is a relatively young holiday and very symbolic - it is June 12 that many old-timers associate with the collapse of the USSR. However, this holiday unites a multinational nation Russian Federation.

It should be said right away that the Day of Russia is an official public holiday, therefore, answering the question whether June 12, 2017 will be a day off, we can definitely say - yes, on state level Russia Day is considered a holiday and, accordingly, a day off if it falls on one of the working days.

As we wrote above, Russia Day is a relatively young day. With the advent of the June 12 holiday, many older people preferred older holidays such as May 1 or Victory Day. However, everything changed in the last decade, when the holiday acquired patriotic meaning for every citizen of the Russian Federation.

In addition, representatives of young people celebrate the Day of Russia with great pleasure, who believe that it is on June 12 that they have the opportunity to salute great country and remember her story.

If we go back a bit to history, we can recall that on June 12, 1990, at the first Congress of People's Deputies of the RSFSR, the Declaration on State Sovereignty of the RSFSR was adopted.

Since June 11, 1992, by decree of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation, as June 12, it has become a holiday date - "The Day of the Declaration of the State Sovereignty of the Russian Federation".

On September 25, 1992, appropriate changes were made to the Code of Labor Laws, and on June 12, 1998, Boris Yeltsin, in his television address, proposed renaming the holiday to Russia Day.
Officially, the name of the holiday "Day of Russia", which is celebrated on June 12, was assigned with the adoption of the new Labor Code in 2002.
