Russia Day
Russia Day, on 12 June, is the national day of the Russian Federation. It commemorates the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, passed on 12 June 1990 by the First Congress of People's Deputies, which asserted the priority of Russian laws on its territory and began the constitutional changes that led to the end of the Soviet Union in December 1991. It is a relatively young holiday, and is celebrated nationwide with concerts, fairs and sporting events.
The day is marked by official ceremonies, including the presentation of State Prizes by the president at the Kremlin, concerts, fireworks and public events in cities, especially Moscow. Many people spend the day in parks and at festivals, the national flag is displayed widely, and for many it is an occasion for a short trip out of town.
