Slavic Friendship Day. Day of Unity of Slavic Peoples. The Polish game "Birki" is being played
This holiday is celebrated on June 25th. And its appearance was preceded, oddly enough, by the collapse of the USSR. Yes, it was in the 90s of the last century, when 15 republics became independent states, that the fraternal Slavs - Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians, in addition to freedom, felt a lack of communication. And a decision was made: so that the peoples do not lose their connection, so that they continue to be friends, so that they do not forget their roots, to hold an annual holiday - the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs.
But not only the countries of the former Soviet Union, but Bulgaria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia and other European countries also celebrate June 25. This is understandable, given that there are about 350 million Slavs in the world! It is not surprising, therefore, that both Africa and America know about this holiday. The Slavs have a rich past, they have something to be proud of, which means they have something to celebrate.

We have the same roots,

The Slavs represent the largest linguistic and cultural community of peoples in the world. The total number of Slavs in the world is 300-350 million people. There are Western (Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Kashubians and Lusatians), Southern (Bulgarians, Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Macedonians, Slovenes, Montenegrins) and Eastern Slavs (Russians, Belarusians and Ukrainians).
Slavs make up the bulk of the population of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Serbia and Montenegro, and also live in all post-Soviet countries, Hungary, Greece, Germany, Austria, Italy, America and Australia.
Most Slavs are Christians, with the exception of the Bosnians, who converted to Islam during Ottoman rule over southern Europe. Bulgarians, Serbs, Macedonians, Montenegrins, Russians - mostly Orthodox; Croats, Slovenes, Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Lusatians are Catholics, among Ukrainians and Belarusians there are many Orthodox, but there are also Catholics and Uniates.
In the second half of the 19th century, the Slavic peoples were part of three empires: Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman. The only exceptions were Montenegrins and Lusatians. Montenegrins lived in the small independent state of Montenegro, and Lusatians lived in Germany. By the end of the twentieth century, all Slavic peoples, except for Russians and Lusatians living in modern Germany, received state independence.
The idea of unity Slavic peoples, to the creation of a common written language by the saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Cyril and Methodius, who are revered both in Russia and in a number of other Slavic states.
Regional national-cultural associations make a great contribution to the unity of the Slavs. Thanks to their activities, original traditions, the centuries-old culture of the Slavic peoples, customs and rituals are passed on from generation to generation, and civil peace and harmony are strengthened.
On the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs in different countries Cultural events are held aimed at reviving the traditions and cultures of our ancestors.
The festival "Slavic Unity" is taking place on the border of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine. It was first held in 1969 and began as an informal celebration of the peoples of three countries. In 1975, the Friendship Monument (also known by the symbolic name “Three Sisters”) was erected, standing at the junction of three borders, and in recent decades, celebrations took place on a large field near the monument, with tens of thousands of people taking part in the event every year.
Once every three years, one of the regions - Bryansk (Russia), Gomel (Belarus), Chernigov (Ukraine) - became the host party responsible for holding the festival.
Since 2014, Ukraine has refused to participate in the festival, and the event was also moved from the border for security reasons. That year, the main celebrations took place in the Bryansk village of Klimovo, and in 2015 - in the Belarusian city of Loev, in 2016, when the festival was supposed to be hosted by Ukraine, due to the refusal Ukrainian side The festival was replaced by celebrations in honor of the Day of Partisans and Underground Workers, which took place in Bryansk. In 2017, the festival took place in the city of Klintsy, Bryansk region.
In 2018, the Slavic Unity festival will be hosted by the city of Vetka, Gomel region of Belarus.

History and traditions
The organizers of the holiday were people. They did not allow the strong threads that connected the fraternal nations to break after the collapse of the USSR. For many years, a festival of folk talents was held annually on the territory of the former Union at the end of June. The theme of the Slavs was constantly present at it, as a reminder that these peoples will remain one friendly family. After a while, the holiday was canceled, but people did not give up on it. They organized a festival of Slavic youth, which was held every year at the end of June. Over time, it turned into the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs.
The purpose of the celebration is to strengthen ties and preserve spiritual community. On this day, the roots, traditions, culture and customs of the Slavic peoples are remembered. Cultural events are held with performances creative teams. The Slavic Unity festival is taking place on the border of Russia, Belarus and Ukraine.
The ancient Slavs were not pagans. They practiced Vedicism, worshiped the heavenly bodies, elements and gods. Pagans were those who were distinguished by culture, faith, or spoke a different language.
Most Slavs are Christians. The exception is the Bosnians. They profess Islam.
Purpose of the holiday: developing in children a sense of tolerance, interest and respect for others national cultures. Fostering a sense of community, friendship and unity with people of Slavic nationalities.

Although you flow through the centuries.

Every year, Slavs all over the world celebrate the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs on June 25. There are about 270 million Slavs in the world.
This date is most widely celebrated by three friendly countries - Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. This holiday is truly national. It comes from common roots, cultural traditions and customs.
Slavs make up the bulk of the population of Europe. This holiday is celebrated by Russians, Ukrainians, Poles, Serbs, Slovaks, Slovenes, Belarusians, Czechs and Bulgarians. They celebrate it even if this moment live in other countries. Slavs make up the majority in countries such as Russia, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Macedonia, Slovenia, Ukraine, Montenegro, Croatia, Czech Republic. Russia is one of largest states, in which Slavs make up the overwhelming majority of its inhabitants. Regional national-cultural associations make a great contribution to the unity of the Slavs. The activities of these organizations allow us to maintain the connection between times. They help pass on the original traditions, customs and rituals of the centuries-old culture of the Slavic peoples from generation to generation. At the same time, civil peace and harmony are strengthened.
Goals of creation and traditions for the holiday Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs
The Day of Slavic Unity was established to unite different branches of the Slavs and strengthen the connection between generations. It is designed to preserve the centuries-old friendship and culture of the Slavs.
On June 25, on the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs, heads of state traditionally congratulate the citizens not only of their country, but also of all Slavic brothers on this significant date. The holiday makes Slavs all over the world remember their origins and roots. The Slavs represent the largest linguistic and cultural community of peoples in the world.
As part of the holiday of the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs, various events, which are aimed at developing friendly relations between Slavic countries. According to written and archaeological sources, the Slavs already in the VI-VII centuries. lived in Central and Eastern Europe. Their lands extended from the Elbe and Oder rivers in the west to the upper reaches of the Dniester and the middle reaches of the Dnieper in the east.
Slavic peoples
Currently, the Slavs live over a vast territory of Southern and Eastern Europe and further east - up to Far East Russia. There is also a Slavic minority in the states Western Europe, America, Transcaucasia and Central Asia.
It is customary to distinguish three branches of Slavic peoples. Western Slavs- these are: Poles, Czechs, Slovaks, Kashubians and Lusatians. The South Slavs include: Bulgarians, Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, Herzegovinians, Macedonians, Slovenians and Montenegrins. East Slavs: Belarusians, Russians and Ukrainians.
The problem of origin and ancient history Slavs is one of the most difficult. The joint efforts of archaeologists, linguists, anthropologists, ethnographers and historians are aimed at solving it. Modern Slavic peoples have quite heterogeneous genetic origins. This can explain the complexity of ethnogenetic processes in Eastern Europe. These processes began tens of thousands of years ago, intensified during the Great Migration of Peoples in the 5th century and are still ongoing.
Slavic languages belong to a branch of the Indo-European family of languages. They belong to the Indo-European languages of the Satem group. The Baltic and Slavic languages, in terms of vocabulary, morphology and syntax, have many more similarities than any other group of Indo-European languages. The presence of a number of similar features in the Baltic and Slavic languages may indicate that in ancient times there was a Baltic-Slavic linguistic unity. For a long time There were no independent Slavic states.
In the second half of the 19th century, the Slavic peoples were part of three empires: Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman. The only exceptions were Montenegrins and Lusatians. Montenegrins lived in the small independent state of Montenegro, and Lusatians lived in Germany. By the end of the 20th century, all Slavic peoples had already received state independence. The Slavic peoples owe the appearance of writing to Constantine and Methodius. It was they who streamlined the Slavic letter and completely adapted it for recording Slavic speech. A huge amount of work was done to create a written book Slavic language, which later received the name Old Slavonic.
The Slavs have a very rich and diverse culture. She should be proud and show it to other peoples. However long time she was not given of great importance, everything Western was implanted. As part of this holiday, cultural events are held in different countries aimed at reviving the traditions and cultures of our ancestors.
