Railways of Russia - the second largest in the world. For the total length of the railway tracks, our country is inferior only to the United States. But the length of the electrified highways of Russia is more. The ross of the Russian Federation accounts for about 10% of world passenger traffic and 20% of cargo turnover. Domestic railways are associated with railway systems of East Asia and Europe, and through seaports interact with America's transport systems.

Railway transport - the main element of the transport system, providing more than 40% of passenger and freight traffic. Railways are integrated into the total transport system of the Russian Federation, ensuring the needs of the economy and passengers in transportation. There is a regular year-round movement on them, which allows you to transport most of the cargo and passengers. Their value is defined both by impressive transportation distances and the insufficient development of transport communications in remote areas of DV and Siberia. An important fact: in our country, the production places of major raw materials are significantly removed from the items of their processing, as well as from ports. Railways is included in the top three leading railway companies in the world.

For the first time, the Russian Empire Day was first celebrated in 1896 by order of Prince Mikhail Khilkova, who at that time headed the Ministry of Communications. The new professional holiday began to celebrate not only in Russia, but also in Europe. Initially, the date was tied to the birthday of Emperor Nikolai II, which fell out on July 6 (June 25 in the old style). Nikolai II is a recognized founder of the railway industry in the Russian Empire. It was with him that the high-profile St. Petersburg-Moscow and the walking railway to the royal village appeared. Traditionally, the celebration of the Railway Day was held at the Pavlovsky railway station, where a concert and dinner for high-ranking guests were arranged. Local and central railway Russian institutions did not work, and worship services were held at large stations. This holiday was in advance until 1917. And only after almost two decades. Josif Stalin decided to introduce this nationwide holiday in the calendar. He began to celebrate on July 30, since on this day in 1935, Stalin signed the appropriate ruling. A holiday was called the day of railway transport of the USSR. In 1940, it became definitively known what number of the day of the railway workers in the industry will celebrate annually. In the decision of the USSR, the USSR was indicated that the All-Union Railway Day Country will celebrate in the first August Sunday of each year. In the eighties, the final name was fixed - the day of the railway worker.

Railway Day in the countries of the former USSR

Today, this holiday in many post-Soviet countries falls on the same day. Thus, the day of the railway worker in Belarus since 1995 is also celebrated on August 1, despite the fact that in this country the first station was opened in December 1862 in the city of Grodno. Until 1995, the official celebration of Railway workers occurred in November, since it was this month that in 1871 the main highway of Belarus, which connected Smolensk and Brest opened.

On the first Sunday of the last summer month, the day of the railway worker in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan. But Latvia congratulates its valiant railway cars on August 5, as in 1919 the State Railway in the country was officially founded on this day. Lithuania celebrates this holiday on August 28, Estonia - August 21. But in Ukraine, the Railway Day is celebrated annually on November 4, when in 1861 the first train arrived at the Lviv railway station.

About one million people work on the railways of Russia today. All of these Russian Railways employees are employed in Russian Railways or on its branches, subsidiaries, structural divisions. Transport system of Russia i am inferior by the length of the operational ways only the United States, and the Russian Federation is an unconditional global leader in terms of electrified highways.

If your close person or friend tied your life with the railway, do not forget to prepare him gifts for the Railway Day, which will become a symbol of its important and significant work. A gift does not have to be expensive. For example, on the day of the 2012 railway worker, especially popular gifts were various souvenirs with appropriate symbols: handles, notebooks, cups with Russian Railways emblems and books on the development of the transport system in the country.

Railways of Russia without a small 200 years. Rail transport continues to be irreplaceable - modern Russian Railways transport more than a billion passengers and more than a billion tons of cargo. More than 800 thousand employees are busy in Russian railways, which in August celebrate their professional holiday. When the day of the railway worker in 2018 in Russia: what date is this holiday, what is his story, in which other states of the former USSR celebrate this day.

When the day of the railway worker in Russia

The Russian holiday of the Railway Day became the first similar holiday in all of Europe. He appeared in 1896, and he was celebrated until 1917 on June 25, according to the old style (according to the new one - July 6). This date is the day when the emperor Nicholas I was born, in which railways appeared in our country.

The history of Russian railways began in the 1830s. The first railway of the country - Tsarskostskaya - opened in 1837. She joined St. Petersburg and the royal village. The average speed of the trip is 51 km / h at that time was fantastic.

So the impetus was given for the development of this modern type of transport in the country. By the end of the XIX century, the railways had already fully connected the main cities of the European part of the country, and in 1891 the implementation of an ambitious project began - the construction of the Great Siberian highway, the foundations of the modern Transsib. By 1904, the railways reached Vladivostok.

The traditions of the day of the railway worker in the royal time meant that railway institutions did not work on this day, and the leadership of the road was gathered for a festive dinner and a concert in the capital of the Russian Empire - St. Petersburg.

After coming to power, the Bolsheviks did not have a single royal holiday, and no day of the railway worked almost two decades. He returned in 1936, and no longer anything for railway workers did not go to his holiday - the return was held under the slogan of the day "Maximum labor efforts to glory”.

The date of the first version of the Soviet celebration of the Railway Day - July 30, in honor of the meeting of Stalin with railway transport workers on July 30, 1935. However, since 1940, the date of the celebration was subjected to a small reform, and the day of the railway worker in the USSR received a "registration" on the first Sunday day of August. So this professional holiday was fastened over the weekend.

Since then, nothing has changed, and the date of the celebration of the professional holiday of the railway workers is the first Sunday of August.
