Poroshenko signed a new decree on conscription for military service

President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko signed a decree calling for an urgent military service at the National Guard in August 2017.

Earlier, Poroshenko signed a decree on the timing of the conscription of Ukrainian citizens for military service in 2017. According to the decree, the conscription of citizens of Ukraine suitable for military service should be carried out in April-May and October-November 2017.

“To call in August 2017 for compulsory military service in the National Guard of Ukraine male citizens of Ukraine who are fit for military service for military service, who turned 20 years old by the day they are sent to military units, and senior persons who have not reached the age of 27 and do not have the right to be exempted or deferred from conscription, ”says Poroshenko's decree, published on Friday on his website.

The practice of conscription was canceled in Ukraine in 2013, when Kiev announced a course towards the creation of a professional contract army. However, immediately after the start of the military operation in April 2014 against the residents of Donbass who were dissatisfied with the coup d'etat, then acting President of Ukraine Alexander Turchinov signed a decree on the renewal of the conscription. In 2014, conscripts were not conscripted, but three waves of mobilization took place, and the same number in 2015.

The Ukrainian authorities are now trying to take as many people as possible under contract to the army, so as not to announce mobilization. Earlier, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Stepan Poltorak expressed the hope that the situation in the Donbass would not allow mobilization in the country. Poroshenko said that only contract servicemen would remain in the conflict zone in Donbass.

Putin to discuss with Macron and Merkel the situation in Ukraine

On July 8, Russian President Vladimir Putin will discuss the situation in Ukraine with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Hamburg in the format of a working breakfast, Yuri Ushakov, aide to the President of the Russian Federation, told reporters earlier.

In addition, as noted by the aide to the President of the Russian Federation, during the breakfast the problems of the G20 and topical issues of the international agenda will be discussed.

On Wednesday, July 5, Poroshenko's press secretary Svyatoslav Tsegolko said that Poroshenko and Merkel had coordinated their position on the implementation of Minsk by phone on the eve of the meeting of the three leaders. The press service of the Ukrainian government also noted that Merkel assured Poroshenko by phone that during the meeting of the leaders of Germany and France with the President of Russia "nothing about the fate of Ukraine" would be decided without Kiev.

More than 20 people detained after provocations at the Polish embassy in Kiev

According to the head of the National Police of Ukraine, Serhiy Knyazev, the provocation was intended to undermine good-neighborly relations between Ukraine and Poland and is "an example of a 'hybrid' war on the part of Russia."

The police and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have detained more than two dozen people who were planning to carry out provocations at the diplomatic office of the Republic of Poland in the center of Kiev, said the head of the National Police Serhiy Knyazev. According to him, the detainees were armed.

The day before, it was reported that in Kiev, several dozen young people were going to throw Molotov cocktails at the Polish Embassy.

“More than two dozen irresponsible citizens who could become an instrument in the hands of Kremlin propaganda have been detained. Weapons, cartridges, gas canisters, stun guns, knives, ignition mixtures, masks, posters and other weapons prepared for the implementation of provocations have already been seized from the detainees, "Knyazev wrote on his Facebook page.

Commentary by Sergey Knyazev

The planned provocation was intended to undermine good-neighborly relations between Ukraine and Poland and discredit Ukraine in the eyes of the international community, the police say.

“According to the available information, this is another element of the“ hybrid ”war on the part of Russian Federation against our state, ”said the head of the National Police.

Weapons confiscated from provocateurs at the Polish Embassy in Kiev

“All this was being prepared to create a“ correct picture ”for the European media - about the riots at the consular department of the Republic of Poland in the center of the capital of Ukraine,” he added.

On the fact of the incident, criminal proceedings were started for attempted hooliganism - under Part 1 of Art. 15 and part 2 of Article 296 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

G20 summit: alarm bell sounded for Ukraine - expert

According to political scientist Kirill Molchanov, breakfast is scheduled for Saturday between the participants of the "Normandy format" only without Ukraine, which causes great concern on the Ukrainian side.

“There is a rather negative call. Breakfast is scheduled for tomorrow between the participants of the "Normandy format" only without Ukraine. Naturally, this causes great concern on the Ukrainian side, because, according to the Charter of the G20 organization, the host country of the summit could invite any representative to the meeting of its own free will. That is, as it was already once. If Merkel really wanted, she would have invited Poroshenko to this meeting and in general to the G20. But it is clear that their last negotiations in Berlin had a rather cold context. Today, I suppose that further events can develop quite interestingly, "- said political analyst Kirill Molchanov during a press conference of RIA Novosti Ukraine.

Recall that the meeting between Putin and Trump on the sidelines of the G20 summit is the first. The talks about the possibility of such bilateral negotiations went on for quite a long time. Trump has already met with the leaders of more than a dozen countries, but the first personal conversation with the Russian president took place only now, six months after the inauguration of the American leader. This is partly to blame for pressure from part of the anti-Russian American establishment, which accuses Russia of meddling in the US presidential elections and which Trump has to reckon with in one way or another.

On November 3, 4, 5 we celebrate the Day of National Unity

November 4 is celebrated in Russia Day national unity... The holiday was established by the Federal Law "On Amendments to Article 1 of the Federal Law" On Days of Military Glory (Victory Days) in Russia ", signed in December 2004 by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

National Unity Day was established in memory of the events of 1612, when the people's militia led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky liberated Moscow from the Polish invaders. Historically, this holiday is associated with the end of the Time of Troubles in Russia in the 17th century. The Time of Troubles - the period from the death of Tsar Ivan the Terrible in 1584 to 1613, when the first of the Romanov dynasty reigned on the Russian throne - was an era of deep crisis of the Moscow state caused by the suppression of the royal dynasty of Rurikovich. The dynastic crisis soon developed into a national-state crisis. The united Russian state disintegrated, numerous impostors appeared. Widespread robbery, robbery, theft, bribery, general drunkenness struck the country.

It seemed to many contemporaries of the Troubles that the final ruin of the "blessed Moscow kingdom" had taken place. The authorities in Moscow usurped the "seven-boyars" headed by Prince Fyodor Mstislavsky, which sent Polish troops into the Kremlin with the intention of placing the Catholic prince Vladislav on the Russian throne.

In this difficult time for Russia, Patriarch Hermogenes called on the Russian people to defend Orthodoxy and expel the Polish invaders from Moscow. "It's time to lay down your soul for the House of the Most Holy Theotokos!" - wrote the patriarch. His appeal was taken up by the Russian people. A broad patriotic movement began to liberate the capital from the Poles. The first people's (zemstvo) militia was led by the Ryazan governor Prokopy Lyapunov. But because of the feuds between the nobles and the Cossacks, who, on false accusations, killed the voivode, the militia broke up. The anti-Polish uprising, which began prematurely in Moscow on March 19, 1611, was defeated.

In September 1611, the "merchant", the Nizhny Novgorod zemstvo headman Kuzma Minin appealed to the townspeople with an appeal to create a militia. At a city meeting, he delivered his famous speech: “Orthodox people, we want to help the Moscow state, we will not spare our bellies, but not just our bellies - we will sell our yards, we will lay our wives and children and we will beat them with our foreheads so that someone becomes our boss. And what praise will be to all of us from the Russian land, that from such a small city like ours, such a great thing will happen. "

At Minin's call, the townspeople voluntarily gave "third money" for the creation of the zemstvo militia. But voluntary contributions were not enough. Therefore, a compulsory collection of the "fifth money" was announced: each had to contribute to the treasury of the militia a fifth of their income for the salaries of servicemen.

At the suggestion of Minin, the 30-year-old Novgorod prince Dmitry Pozharsky was invited to the post of chief governor. Pozharsky did not immediately accept the offer, agreed to be a voivode on the condition that the townspeople themselves choose an assistant for him, who would command over the treasury of the militia. And Minin became "an elected man of the whole earth." So at the head of the second zemstvo militia were two people elected by the people and clothed with its full confidence.

Under the banners of Pozharsky and Minin, a huge army gathered at that time - more than 10 thousand local servicemen, up to three thousand Cossacks, more than a thousand archers and many "tributary people" from the peasants.

Representatives of all classes and all peoples that were part of the Russian state took part in the national militia, in the liberation of the Russian land from foreign invaders.

WITH miraculous icon The Kazan Mother of God, manifested in 1579, the Nizhny Novgorod zemstvo militia managed to take Kitay-Gorod by storm on November 4, 1612 and expel the Poles from Moscow. This victory served as a powerful impetus for the revival of the Russian state. And the icon has become a subject of special reverence.

At the end of February 1613, the Zemsky Sobor, which included representatives of all estates of the country - the nobility, boyars, clergy, Cossacks, archers, black-haired peasants and delegates from many Russian cities, elected Mikhail Romanov (the son of Metropolitan Filaret), the first Russian tsar from the dynasty, as the new tsar. Romanovs. The Zemsky Sobor in 1613 became the final victory over the Troubles, the triumph of Orthodoxy and national unity.

The confidence that it was thanks to the icon of the Kazan Mother of God that the victory was won was so deep that Prince Pozharsky, using his own money, specially built the Kazan Cathedral on the edge of Red Square. Since then, the Kazan icon began to be revered not only as the patroness of the Romanovs' house, but by decree of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, who reigned in 1645-1676, a mandatory celebration was established on November 4 as a day of gratitude to the Most Holy Theotokos for her help in liberating Russia from the Poles (celebrated before 1917). V church calendar this day entered as the Celebration of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God in memory of the deliverance of Moscow and Russia from the Poles in 1612.

Thus, National Unity Day is essentially not at all new holiday rather a return to the old tradition.

On National Unity Day in different cities of our country, political parties and social movements organize rallies, processions and concerts, charity events and sporting events.

* Pre-holiday days during which the working time is reduced by one hour.

For many decades, November 7 was in the USSR, and then in Russia, one of the main holidays. In Soviet times, there were, in principle, few holidays, and for several generations of people who lived at that time on May 1 and November 7, including thanks to the voluntary and compulsory participation of people in demonstrations, they were remembered as special dates in the calendar.

Will November 7, 2018 be a day off or a working day in Russia, as this day is celebrated in the modern calendar.

The main meaning of the holiday on November 7 in Soviet times is the anniversary of the events of 1917. These events can be assessed in different ways, including different assessments they had from the Soviet government itself.

At first, the Bolsheviks called those events a coup, and for someone today, such an assessment seems more correct. Later, the status of the event increased, and what happened in Petrograd at the end of October, according to the old style, began to be called a revolution. It is a revolution that is called today by most of those who have at least some kind of their own relation to the events of 100 years ago.

Be that as it may, but after the collapse of the USSR, it turned out to be inappropriate to celebrate the anniversary of the coming of the Bolsheviks to power on November 7.

However, it was impossible to cancel the holiday in the 1990s. At the very least, this would have caused a storm of indignation among those who have not yet come to terms with the collapse of the old Soviet system. The holiday was renamed the Day of Accord and Reconciliation, and for many years November 7 turned into just such a day.

Day of Accord and Reconciliation ceased to exist in 2005. At the same time, a new holiday appeared in Russia - National Unity Day.

For the modern Russian authorities, the events of November 7, 1917 in the new style are rather negative. And there is a certain sense in this. Celebrating the anniversary of armed rebellion and the overthrow of the legitimate government is fraught with romanticization, if not the encouragement of something like that today.

Celebrating the anniversary of the overthrow of the government in a special way, in the understanding of today's authorities, is something akin to extremism.

Therefore, November 7 in modern Russia is not a holiday. It can only be a day off if this date falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

P.S. We add that November 7 is still included in the special dates calendar. In Russia, this date is one of the days of Russia's military glory. Its full name is the Day of the military parade on Red Square in the city of Moscow to commemorate the twenty-fourth anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. This parade in 1941, when enemy troops stood on the outskirts of Moscow, became one of the most tragic and at the same time heroic pages of the war. The troops taking part in the parade went directly to the front, and most of the participants in the parade died almost on the same day.

November 7, 2018 - what holiday is celebrated in our country? What is its history and traditions, what events took place and are taking place on this day? This is what our story will go about.

Many young people do not know what holiday was November 7th. At the same time, it is dedicated to one of the most significant events of the 20th century, which influenced the course of world history.

We will tell you in more detail what kind of holiday was celebrated on November 7 in 2018. In Soviet times, it was called the Day of the Great October Socialist Revolution.

Since 1991, this holiday has been called the Day of the October Revolution of 1917, and since 1996 - the Day of Accord and Reconciliation. November 7 and 8 in the USSR were days off, the holiday was celebrated as main holiday country.

What happened these days in 1917? On the night of November 7-8 (according to the old style - October 25-26), an uprising began in Petrograd.

At the signal, which was the shot of the cruiser Aurora, armed workers, soldiers and sailors seized the Winter Palace, overthrew the Provisional Government and proclaimed Soviet power. It existed in our country for 74 years.

On the Day of the Great October Socialist Revolution in the USSR, festive demonstrations, a military parade on Red Square in Moscow, solemn meetings, exhibitions, concerts, festivities and other events were held.

In modern Russia, the Day of the Great October Socialist Revolution was renamed and then abolished altogether. Although the communists still continue to celebrate it.

Since 2005, the state day off has been postponed from November 7 to November 4, when the National Unity Day began to be celebrated.

This holiday was established by the Federal Law "On the Introduction to Article 1 of the Federal Law" On the Days of Military Glory (Victory Days) in Russia ", signed in December 2004 by the President of Russia.

Now not everyone remembers what holiday was on November 7, because it was replaced by another. It was erected in memory of the deliverance from the invasion of the Poles in 1612.

The initiator of the establishment of the Day of National Unity was the Russian Orthodox Church, this idea was supported by various political and public organizations. National Unity Day is widely celebrated throughout the country.

And the Day of the October Revolution still exists in Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Transnistria. Concluding the story about what holiday falls on November 7, one cannot fail to mention one more celebration.

On this day, the Day of Military Glory of Russia is celebrated in memory of the military parade on Red Square in Moscow in 1941.
