Air Defense Day (date for 2013)

Air Defense Day (air defense troops) is a professional holiday of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus, established by the presidents of the two states (in the Russian Federation - by Presidential Decree of May 31, 2006, in Belarus - by Presidential Decree No. 175 in 1998) and celebrated annually on the second Sunday of April. Despite the indicated dates, the event itself began to be celebrated back in Soviet times. And this is due to the fact that the formation of the air defense forces took place precisely in April. The history of the development of air defense in Russia dates back to 1914, when, during the First World War, the army of the Russian Empire first used machine guns and cannons to shoot down Austrian air targets. Air Defense Day is celebrated by all military personnel of the Russian Federation and Belarus, one way or another related to the defense of state air borders.

Traffic Police Day in Ukraine

Six years after Ukraine gained independence, the country officially documented and signed an order to approve the State Traffic Inspectorate. On April 14, 1997, by the Decree of Kambin, the “Regulations on the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine” were drawn up in Ukraine. Since that time, traffic police officers annually celebrate their professional holiday. The responsibilities of this service are very broad. The competence of the traffic police includes the implementation of many tasks to maintain order on the roads: day and night, the service monitors the implementation of traffic laws, suppresses violations of the rules on the roads, and also partially participates in state policy in the field of preserving the environment from the harmful effects of transport. Today, about 25 thousand traffic police officers work in Ukraine.

April 14 in the folk calendar

Marya - Empty cabbage soup

On April 14, the people honor the memory of St. Mary of Egypt, who was a Christian hierarch - the patroness of repentant women. Saint Mary was born in Egypt in the fifth century. A hard life pushed her to leave her father's house at a very early age and become a harlot. Once, on one of the Christian holidays, she tried to enter the temple, but some unknown force held back the girl. Then she repented and began to pray fervently to the Mother of God. After some time, Mary was able to freely cross the threshold of the temple. She took communion, settled in deserted places, where she lived the rest of her life in complete solitude, repentance and prayers.

In Rus', Mary of Egypt was addressed in order to protect the family from the evil eye and damage. Empty cabbage soup was called this day not by chance. As a rule, by mid-April, the peasants ran out of the last stocks of cabbage, so cabbage soup had to be forgotten for the time being. However, inventive housewives knew what cabbage could be replaced with. Instead, they put sorrel or nettle in the soup, which by this time were already green. It turned out delicious and very useful.

Mary was also observed for the overflowing waters. If the rivers "spread" widely, then the meadows will now be rich in greenery and grass - the cattle will remain satisfied, and hay supplies can be replenished. They also paid attention to how the ice comes off the rivers. Its easy and quick convergence symbolized a good year, but the resulting ice jams spoke of the opposite - the year would be very difficult.

Historical events April 14

April 14, 1801– Abolition of the Secret Expedition of the Senate and the abolition of the system of torture during interrogations

On April 14, 1801, Alexander the First liquidated the Secret Expedition in the Senate and abolished torture during interrogations. From that moment on, all cases of violations of the law began to be transferred to local judicial institutions. For the common people, court decisions were considered and approved by the governors, and the fate of the "highest ranks" was finally decided by the Senate.

In 1961, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet introduced a new honorary title of "Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR" into the system of awards of the USSR in honor of the first manned flight into open space, which took place two days earlier. Naturally, Yuri Gagarin was the first to receive the honorary title. Soon other Soviet cosmonauts also received it. In addition to the title "Pilot-Cosmonaut of the USSR", the heroes were also awarded a diploma from the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet and a badge cast in silver. And it was customary to wear it on the right side of the chest, above all other badges (if any).

Until the beginning of the 1990s, 72 citizens of the USSR had been in space. All of them were eventually awarded the title of "Pilot-Cosmonaut". In March 1992, by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, this title was reissued to "Pilot-Cosmonaut of the Russian Federation". The badge also underwent some changes: in particular, instead of the old inscription "USSR", a new one appeared - "Russia".

March 14, 1993– The fire that engulfed the Kama Automobile Plant actually destroyed the enterprise

The fire, which engulfed the building in a matter of minutes, destroyed not only the production building, but also modern expensive technological equipment. From the very first hours of liquidation of the consequences of a terrible fire, work went in two directions. On the one hand, it was necessary to restore the capacity for the production of 100 thousand engines, and on the other hand, to create the ground for the production of power units based on modern equipment. Thanks to the support of the Russian authorities, the Kama plant literally rose from the ashes in the shortest possible time, and already in December of the same year, the enterprise produced its first products after the fire.

April 14 were born

Denis Fonvizin(1745-1792) - the founder of Russian comedy, who said the famous phrase: "Live for a century, learn for a century ...".

Stolypin had many ill-wishers seeking to "sweep" him from the political scene. As a result, in 1911, Pyotr Stolypin was mortally wounded, after which he died.

Christian Huygens(1629-1695) Dutch mathematician, mechanical physicist and astronomer. Huygens had a wealth of knowledge in many areas, he was a man with a wide range of interests. The scientist managed to develop many theories (for example, the wave theory of light), design a pendulum clock and patent a pocket watch, invent an eyepiece, etc. With the help of a telescope, Huygens studied Saturn in detail, discovering its rings and several satellites. In addition, the scientist developed the first prototype of the planetarium, and also came close to discovering the law of gravity, but, alas, did not have time.

Denis Fonvizin was born in 1745. The founder of Russian comedy, who wrote: “Live for a century, learn for a century, my friend of the heart! Such a thing."

The unknown author of the Dramatic Dictionary testified to the extraordinary success of the play "Undergrowth" when it was first staged on the court stage in Tsaritsyn Meadow: "The theater was incomparably filled, and the audience applauded the play with throwing purses." Prince Potemkin, forgetting about his quarrel with Fonvizin, kissed him and said: “Die now, Denis, or at least don’t write anything else! Your name will be immortal from this one play.

On the works of Fonvizin, they learned to think and write - and the lyceum student Alexander Pushkin, and the gymnasium student Nikolai Gogol, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Leo Tolstoy.

In 1841, there was a massacre of charcoal workers at the Revdinsky plant in the Perm province. The event went down in history as the Revdinsky execution, although it is rarely mentioned in historical literature.

The workers did not demand an increase, but only compliance with the norms of production and wages established by law. The administration of the enterprise refused to negotiate and called the military unit. A cannon shot was fired at the crowd of workers with buckshot and rifle fire was opened. As a result, 33 people died on the spot, including 8 women; 18 more people later died of their wounds. 100 workers were injured.

On the report on these events, Emperor Nicholas 1 drew an approving resolution, but at the same time he instructed to check the validity of the complaints from the workers without publicity. The audit showed that the situation of the workers at this and other private factories is much worse than at state-owned (state), that there were violations of established norms and rules, and that the workers had reason to complain. Nevertheless, the tsar ordered the four main instigators of the “riots” to be sent to hard labor, 25 people to be sent to military service, 270 people to be flogged. Legal costs, however, were collected from the owner of the plant - Demidova.

Stolypin's agrarian reforms are famous, but few people know that he was the initiator of the introduction of universal free primary education in Russia.
Pyotr Arkadyevich Stolypin was born in Dresden, in a family that belonged to an old Russian family, known since the 16th century, and was a second cousin of the poet Lermontov.
In 1906, the 44-year-old Stolypin accepted the portfolio of Minister of the Interior and combined this post with the post of Chairman of the Council of Ministers. He pursues a policy of liberal reforms and strengthening of power. On his initiative, agrarian reform begins in Russia. In seven years, the population of Siberia has grown by 153 percent. All those wishing to move were provided with land. The government took on the costs of laying roads, landscaping in a new place, and medical care. Stolypin was married to Olga Neygardt - the former bride of his brother, who was killed in a duel. Despite the complex nature of Olga Borisovna, Pyotr Arkadyevich was happily married, had five daughters and one son.

On August 12, 1906, the Maximalist Socialist-Revolutionaries attempted to assassinate Stolypin, as a result of which 27 people who were in the reception of the government dacha, and both terrorists, died. Of the 32 wounded, 6 died of wounds the next day. A wall with a balcony collapsed from the explosion. The daughter and son of Stolypin were seriously injured by the rubble of stones, he himself was not injured.

He was mortally wounded 5 years later during the stay of the royal family in Kyiv, in the building of the local opera. The attempt will be made by Dmitry Bogrov, the son of the local owner of a multi-storey building. Some researchers believe that the murder of Stolypin was the work of the Okhrana, perhaps undertaken and not without the knowledge of the king. He was buried in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, because at one time he bequeathed to bury him where death would overtake him.

In 1862, Pyotr Arkadevich Stolypin was born - the largest statesman-reformer, since July 8, 1906, the Prime Minister of Russia.

His main merit, noted Stolypin's contemporary, Minister Maklakov, was that he understood the need for a huge social reform. He understood the full weight and all the significance of the peasant question in Russia, the urgent need to put an end to the remnants of the estate system, to the isolation and isolation of the peasants in their primitive way of communal order.
Stolypin had many opponents eager to remove him from the political scene. And in the end they succeeded: on September 1, 1911, Pyotr Arkadyevich was mortally wounded in Kyiv by the Socialist-Revolutionary Bagrov. There he is buried.

In 1869, with the support of the Russian Geographical Society, he received permission to sail to New Guinea on the Vityaz corvette for anthropological and ethnographic research. In 1871-72, then in 76-77 and, finally, in 1883 Miklouho-Maclay lived in New Guinea, doing scientific work and collecting numerous collections. The research of the Russian scientist disproved the widespread idea that the peoples of Southeast Asia and Australia are inferior to Europeans in terms of their abilities.

He defended the rights of the Papuans against the impending colonial division of New Guinea by Germany and England, addressing the Russian and foreign press with statements and telegrams of protest. Turning to the "highest name", Nikolai Nikolayevich tried to get permission from the Russian government to organize a "free Russian colony" on the northeastern coast of New Guinea. Alexander III wrote with his own hand: "Miklukho-Maclay should be refused." Until the end of his life, the scientist worked on volumes of descriptions of his travels, believing that his goal was "the success of science and the good of mankind."

In 1917, the first rally-concert "Revolutionary word and music" took place in Moscow in the Great Hall of the Conservatory. It began with the performance of the Marseillaise by the orchestra conducted by Sergei Koussevitzky.

The history of the high jump records the names of 23 athletes who managed to set world records. Some did it twice, three did it three times. And only one person was able to break the world record six times - Valery Brumel, born April 14, 1942.

Brumel's sports career ended tragically: in 1965, he was in a car accident. He was threatened with amputation of his leg, thirty surgeries had no result - the leg did not grow together. Doctors doubted whether he would ever be able to walk, but Valery not only learned to walk again, but was also able to return to big sport. When the time came to leave the sport completely, he began to write. Several of his books have been published, including the novel Do Not Change Yourself, translated into seven languages.

An outstanding athlete died on January 26, 2003. The life of Valery Brumel is an example of incredible courage and resilience.

On April 14, 1959, on the next anniversary of the tragic death of the poet, poetry was read publicly for the first time at the monument to Mayakovsky on Gorky Street.

Then the unknown Voznesensky, Rozhdestvensky, Yevtushenko, Akhmadulina and Okudzhava spoke. KGB officers were on duty nearby. The police kept calm. It was one of the first shoots of Khrushchev's "thaw".

Now Tikhomirov holds the position of sound engineer at DDT and is the organizer and inspirer of the St. Petersburg rock club "Polygon".

From early childhood, he began to sing, even before he learned to speak!!! He studied at a music school, playing various instruments, from the piano to the clarinet and accordion. And, of course, he sang. He sang in various children's and youth choirs and was their leading voice. Already at the age of 14, Alexei began his musical activity on the Russian stage, but then he was still unobtrusive.

An old man and a young man went to her,
scientists and schoolchildren flowed,
and many were doomed
in her Bermuda Triangle.

If this feeling is already familiar to you, then today the fun time has come, when in the midst of springtime grunting zelyuks play their music like a friendly cheerful orchestra.

Church holiday according to the folk calendar

Marya Empty cabbage soup

On this day, Christians honor the memory of the Christian saint Mary of Egypt, who was born in the middle of the 5th century in Egypt and was considered the patroness of all repentant women. At the age of 12, Mary left her parents and went to Alexandria, where she later became a harlot.
When one day Mary wanted to enter the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, some force held her back and did not let her inside. Mary then began to pray before the icon of the Mother of God, realizing her fall. After her prayer, she freely entered the temple and took communion. Then Mary settled in the desert, and lived there in prayers of repentance, in fasting and in complete solitude for 47 years.
The people turned to Mary of Egypt for protection from a bad word and the evil eye.
Empty cabbage soup was commemorated on Mary, because by April the peasants were running out of cabbage, and therefore they only had to dream of thick cabbage soup in which “a spoon stands”.
Our ancestors at that time used to say: “You wanted sour cabbage soup in April!”.
There were such signs among the people on this day: if the water spills widely, then the meadows will be green and lush. And if ice jams form on April 14, then the year will be difficult.
Name day April 14 Yefim, Ivan, Makar, Maria, Sergey
April 14 is also celebrated: Day of the medical service of the penitentiary system, Day of grunting zelyuks, Fire festival

Ukrinform

On this day, in 2014, hostilities began in the Donbass, the so-called active phase of the ATO - an armed confrontation between the Ukrainian army and the Russian invaders.

As you know, in connection with the tense situation in the east of Ukraine that developed in mid-April 2014, in particular, the forcible seizures by unknown armed persons of a number of Ukrainian cities - Slavyansk, Gorlovka, Kramatorsk, Konstantinovka, Liman (then - Krasny Liman), Bakhmat (then - Artemivska), Pokrovskaya (then - Krasnoarmeysk) and others, on April 14, the then Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council and Acting President of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov signed a decree on the implementation of the decision of the National Security and Defense Council "On urgent measures to overcome the terrorist threat and preserve the territorial integrity of Ukraine." At the same time, active hostilities began in the north of the Donetsk region. On April 15, as part of the anti-terror operation, Ukrainian special forces liberated Kramatorsk airport from Russian separatists, a very important strategic facility for both sides of the conflict, without casualties. The city of Kramatorsk itself, as well as Slavyansk, was liberated only on July 5th. The Ukrainian army managed to stop the advance of the enemy, but even today part of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions of Ukraine remain under the occupation of pro-Russian gangs. However, the most irreparable - human victims. According to the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, during the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, 10,000 people died, including about 2,400 Ukrainian military personnel, and about 24,000 were injured (both military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and civilians). Almost two million Ukrainians were forced to leave their homes and became refugees, internally displaced persons, and those who remained in the territories occupied by bandits, or on the line of confrontation, are daily in mortal danger. Regular "ceasefire" agreements do not work, and the number of victims of the conflict continues to increase.

Events of the day:

250 years ago (1768) in the Right-Bank Ukraine, Koliivshchyna began - one of the largest people's liberation uprisings against Polish oppression. The gathering center of the rebels was the Holodny Yar tract near the Motroninsky Monastery. And their leaders were Maxim Zheleznyak and Ivan Gonta. On May 6 of the same year, the rebel army set off on a campaign along the Right Bank. The reason for the uprising was the exorbitant oppression of the Ukrainian peasantry by the Polish gentry and the intensification of national and religious oppression. At the beginning of 1768, under pressure from the tsarist government, the Polish Sejm adopted a resolution on formal equalization of rights with the Catholics of the population of the Orthodox and Protestant faiths. This caused a protest on the part of the reactionary part of the magnates and the gentry. Under the slogan of protecting Catholicism and noble rights in the city of Bar in Podolia, they formed a confederation. The actions of the detachments of the Confederates in the Kiev region, Podolia and Volyn were accompanied by torture and robbery of the population, the expulsion of Orthodox priests from parishes, the destruction of their homes and churches. This overflowed the patience of the Ukrainians. In addition, to fight the Confederates, the tsarist government sent its troops to Poland, including the Right-Bank Ukraine. The Ukrainian population interpreted the arrival of the Russian units as help in the fight against the gentry. Rumors spread that Catherine II allegedly issued a “golden letter”, with which she authorized the destruction of the gentry, tenants, Polish and Catholic priests. However, as it turned out later, the Ukrainians once again became only a "bargaining chip" in the big political game between Russia and Poland.

Anniversaries of the day:

130 years since birth Vladimir Narbut (1888-1944) - Ukrainian poet, public and literary figure, head of the Radio Telegraph Agency of Ukraine (RATAU) in 1921-1922. Vladimir Narbut was born in the Sumy region. From 1906 he lived in St. Petersburg. He graduated from St. Petersburg University, published poetry, both in St. Petersburg publications and in the provincial press. He entered the history of literature as a talented poet and one of the founders of acmeism. In 1921-1922 Volodymyr Narbut was director of the Radio Telegraph Agency of Ukraine (RATAU), which was the predecessor of Ukrinform. He came to the post of director of RATAU from YugROSTA, which worked in Odessa. There he attracted creative youth to active work in the bureau, in particular, Babel, Bagritsky, Olesha, Kataev, Koltsov, Ilf. Later, when Vladimir Narbut headed the press department of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks in Moscow, led several all-Union publishing houses and magazines, he was the "godfather" of many works. For example, the novels "The Twelve Chairs" and "The Golden Calf" by Ilf and Petrov. During the period of Stalinist repressions, as a creative person, Vladimir Narbut was destroyed. He was arrested in October 1936 as a "Ukrainian nationalist". In July 1937, Narbut was sentenced to 5 years in prison and sent to a transit camp near the city of Vladivostok. Later he was sent to Magadan, where on April 14, 1938, his case was re-examined on the same day he was shot (according to other sources, he was drowned on a barge along with other prisoners). In 1956, Vladimir Narbut was fully rehabilitated due to the absence of corpus delicti in his actions.

Born on this day Ivan Kavaleridze (1887-1978), Ukrainian sculptor, film director, playwright. Kavaleridze is a unique figure, one might even say Renaissance, because he was, like the creators of the Renaissance, a universal man, a specialist in many fields. He was the director of the Odessa, Kiev film studios of feature films, where he staged mainly according to his own scripts, films: "Downpour", "Perekop", "Koliyivshchyna", "Prometheus", "Natalka Poltavka" (the first Ukrainian sound film), "Zaporozhets beyond the Danube ”,“ Walking ”,“ Stozhary ”. He is the author of plays that were shown in the theaters of the country; monuments to Princess Olga in Kyiv, Shevchenko in Poltava, Sumy (not preserved) and Romny, Grigory Skovoroda in Lokhvitsa and Kyiv. According to his project, in 1992 a monument to Grigory Skovoroda was erected in Kharkov, 1996 - a monument to Yaroslav the Wise in Kyiv. Kavaleridze was an artist of impressive range. He could bring any idea to life with genius - in cinema or in word or in sculpture. Kavaleridze's art is devoid of vulgarity, falsehood, it is not banal for one simple reason: in addition to his indisputable talent given to him by God and his parents, Kavaleridze was always real, remained himself under any circumstances. His formula was very clear: in art, half the success depends on how human you are. The fate of Kavaleridze was extremely interesting, but also difficult at the same time. He went through so much that would be enough for more than one novel and more than one series. I saw Tsar Nicholas II (for the first time at the Kiev Opera during the assassination of Stolypin, for the second time - in 1917, when he commanded a reserve battalion of a rifle regiment and was responsible for protecting the arrested tsar and his family), sculpted Chaliapin, was friends (while studying in Paris) with the family of Ilya Mechnikov (the wife of a biologist - Olga, a former resident of Kiev, sister of the famous Kiev doctor Belokopytny). The Nazis, or the Bolsheviks, could have shot him, just as they shot his father-in-law, the writer Philip Kapelgorodsky, in 1938, which the family learned about only at the end of the 1950s ... He was under pressure from the official authorities, who did not understand his art and was terribly afraid, "as if something had happened." The guests of his two-room Kyiv apartment, on the third floor of Krasnoarmeyskaya, 12, were many famous people - directors Sergey Paradzhanov and Leonid Osyka, artist Tatyana Yablonskaya and many others.

Death anniversary:

Passed away on this day in 1986 Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986), French writer, philosopher, one of the leading theorists of feminism in the twentieth century; girlfriend of Jean-Paul Sartre, author of the famous saying that "a woman is not born, but made." Her nonfiction book "The Second Sex" has long become the program text of the second wave of feminism - the first one took place in the 19th-20th century and was associated with the struggle for the basic rights of women - electoral, property, educational. The second wave (1960-1980), of which Simone de Beauvoir is, in fact, a prominent representative, tried to deal with the "traps" of formal equality, where many hidden restrictions and prohibitions were hidden and hidden. Of course, The Second Sex does not guarantee a pleasant reading (perhaps vice versa), but it remains one of the main books of the 2nd half of the twentieth century. Simone de Beauvoir has always had loyal fans, and they still have them. But one of those who did not bow to her in a respectful curtsy was Czeslaw Miloš. The Nobel laureate could not bear her bourgeoisness (he called her a “lady of high society”), ostentatious intelligence (or rather, “fashion for intellectuality”), and also could not forgive Sartre and Beauvoir for the vile persecution of Camus.
