Navy Day what date congratulations. Navy Day celebrations in different parts of the city

Day of the Military navy in 2016 will be special in St. Petersburg, as Russian President Vladimir Putin is to come here and personally congratulate the sailors on their professional holiday. Already now there are details of the festive program, which is prepared for the residents and guests of the Northern capital, and we will also talk about the traditions of the holiday.

In modern Russia, the celebration of Navy Day was established by decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin dated May 31, 2006.

In the Soviet Union, Navy Day was established in 1939. According to the decree, the holiday was to be celebrated annually on July 24th. The holiday was introduced at the suggestion of the then People's Commissar of the Navy of the USSR Nikolai Kuznetsov - later the famous admiral of the fleet of the Soviet Union. Thus, in 2016 the holiday turned 77 years old.

Navy Day was postponed to the last Sunday in July by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 1, 1980.

Russia is a great maritime power. Our country won the right to be called so thanks to the exploits of our ancestors and brilliant victories in naval battles, which gained unfading glory for the country and its Navy.

Today Navy Russia is the pride of a country with martial traditions and a heroic history. The holiday is celebrated not only by military sailors, but also by everyone who is proud of our fleet and its heroic past, believes in its future. Service in the navy has always been considered prestigious; in Russia, entire naval dynasties have developed over generations.

The first Russian warship was created under the tsar under Alexei Mikhailovich. "Sea ships to be!" - said, having taken the throne, the future first Russian emperor Peter I, who understood well that without a fleet, Russia could not take a new step in its development.

For St. Petersburg, this holiday has always been special: the founder of the city and the Russian fleet was Peter the Great, and St. Petersburg has been and remains the sea capital of the country.

Congratulations on Navy Day - 2016 in verse

Conquerors of the seas, oceans and rains,
Lords of all helms,
Sails and anchors
We only want peace
And it's beautiful to swim through life.
And without a compass to know
Where to moor yourself.
Let life be more comfortable
And more spacious than a cabin.
To wait at the pier
And greeted with a smile.
So that crazy volleys of cannons
Only on holidays you listen.
And salutes in your honor
So that you do not count!

***
On the day of the Navy
So we want to raise our glasses,
Sailors, for your success
Drinking today is definitely not a sin.

We wish you a sea of \u200b\u200blight,
So that summer would ring in the soul.
You peace and more strength,
To have a wonderful sea holiday!

***
You swam across the ocean
I went to the seas and guarded my homeland.
Honor and glory shone under sail,
You have opened thousands of roads for yourself.

Today remember the sea, oceans,
Expanse of roads and thousands of obstacles.
Navy Day - the main holiday in July,
I am very happy to congratulate you.

***
Honor and glory to the sailors
This summer holiday.
Peace and health to you,
Joy and happiness.

We wish you always
Conquer the depths
Let all the trouble go away
Deep into the depths of the sea!

***
We congratulate today
Conquerors of the sea -
And experienced captains
And young sailors.

Always accompanies you.
The wind is warm and inviting
Fills the sails.

Close by are true friends.
noble calling
Always inspires you.

The hottest month was chosen for the holiday not by chance, because Navy Day is combined with the Day of Neptune, the god of the seas. In the old days, it was believed that before letting the ship through, God doused the novice sailors with water.

Today, the Navy is able to protect Russia's interests not only on maritime borders, but throughout the world. It includes the Baltic, Black Sea, Northern, Pacific fleets and the Caspian flotilla. This branch of the Armed Forces includes surface and underwater vessels, aviation, coastal troops, logistic units and special units.

The Russian president will be the first to visit the Avrora cruiser after repairs; the ship will be open to everyone else from August 1.

Petersburg authorities promise residents and guests of the city big celebration. As part of the celebration, an unscheduled disengagement of the Palace Bridge will take place, it will be held from 11.30 to 13.30. After that, everyone will be able to participate in an interactive program on Palace Square, which will continue in the evening with a concert of famous performers.

After the parade, guests of the holiday will be able to board each ship, and the Navy Day will end with traditional fireworks.

A large-scale celebration is also planned in two other strongholds of the Russian fleet - Kronstadt and Sevastopol. In North-west festive events will open with a prayer service in the Naval Cathedral, after which the Drama Theater of the Baltic Fleet will entertain visitors in Petrovsky Park. There will also be a lesson for the youngest guests of the holiday: the god Neptune will hold a show with a quiz, after which young visitors will learn how to knit real sea knots. In the evening, the adult audience will be able to visit the rock festival, which will also end with fireworks.

Navy Day in Sevastopol will be held on a no lesser scale, it is reported that guests from the French parliament will be present at the celebration along with Thierry Mariani, who will take part in the bypass of the ships.

When is Navy Day established?

In modern Russia, the celebration of Navy Day was established by decree of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin dated May 31, 2006.

In the Soviet Union, Navy Day was established in 1939. According to the decree, the holiday was to be celebrated annually on July 24th. The holiday was introduced at the suggestion of the then Commissar of the Navy of the USSR Nikolai Kuznetsov- later the famous admiral of the fleet of the Soviet Union. Thus, in 2016 the holiday turned 77 years old.

Navy Day was postponed to the last Sunday in July by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 1, 1980.

After the collapse of the USSR, the holiday fit perfectly into the new Russian realities, becoming especially identical and revered in the 2000s - when the time came for serious modernization and the revival of the power and prestige of our army and navy.

The holiday also has a mythological background: it is believed that on the hottest days of summer it is worth paying honors to the formidable god of the seas Neptune, so Navy Day is also Neptune Day. The holiday originated from ancient custom: before letting the ship pass, Neptune doused the novice sailors with water.

Modern Russian Navy

Today, the Russian Navy is the pride of the country with military traditions and a heroic history. The holiday is celebrated not only by military sailors, but also by everyone who is proud of our fleet and its heroic past, believes in its future. Service in the navy has always been considered prestigious; in Russia, entire naval dynasties have developed over generations.

The first Russian warship was created under the tsar under Alexey Mikhailovich. "Sea ships to be!" - said, having taken the throne, the future first Russian emperor Peter I, who understood well that without a fleet, Russia could not take a new step in its development.

Today, the Russian Navy, being one of the branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, is designed to protect the interests of Russia around the world and its maritime borders.

The Navy is capable of inflicting nuclear strikes on enemy ground targets, destroying enemy fleet groups at sea and bases, protecting maritime transportation, and assisting ground forces in operations on land, land amphibious assaults and perform other important tasks. The composition of the Russian Navy includes surface and submarine forces, naval aviation and coastal troops of the fleet, as well as special forces and logistics units. The operational-strategic formations of the Russian Navy are: the Baltic, Northern, Black Sea and Pacific Fleets and the Caspian Flotilla.

On Navy Day, commemorative and solemn events are traditionally held throughout the country, military parades, including parades of ships, meetings of veterans, folk festivals, fireworks and fireworks.

Congratulations on Navy Day - 2016 in verse

***
Conquerors of the seas, oceans and rains,
Lords of all helms,
Sails and anchors
We only want peace
And it's beautiful to swim through life.
And without a compass to know
Where to moor yourself.
Let life be more comfortable
And more spacious than a cabin.
To wait at the pier
And greeted with a smile.
So that crazy volleys of cannons
Only on holidays you listen.
And salutes in your honor
So that you do not count!
