8 Top Russian Holidays
If you want to impress your Russian woman, get to know what holidays are celebrated in her country. Understanding these 8 top Russian holidays will set you apart from the rest of the dating pool. Whenever you have an opportunity to learn about the Russian culture, take it. It will convey to your special lady that you really take her seriously.
Let’s take a look at just what these holidays are and why they are important.
January 1 & 14: New Year’s Celebration
This top Russian holiday is even more important than Christmas to Russians. For Russians who still go by the Julian calendar, the “Old”New Year is celebrated on January 14. This time is spent strictly with family. But for Russians who celebrate the “New” New Year, the holiday is celebrated on January 1. On the last day of December, they usually eat a midnight dinner with their family. The Russian national anthem begins with the Presidential Address. After they have watched the speecg and hear the Kremlin Spasskaya Clock, the real celebration begins. After midnight, Russians spend time with friends at parties and enjoy nightlife in the new year.
When the new year rolls around again, be sure to let your Russian woman know you can celebrate her way.
January 7: Christmas
Merry Christmas in Russian is pronounced rah-zh-dee-st-vohm (C рождеством!). Some Russians even fast on Christmas Eve until the first star lights up the sky. Popular foods during this holiday include beetroot soup, cabbage rolls/kutia. The latter is a porridge derived from wheat or rice. It is often served with berries, poppy seeds, honey, dried fruit and walnuts. Because kutia symbolizes unity, it is often eaten from one bowl in the family. As representation of the 12 disciples, the meal consists of 12 dishes.
February 23: Protector of the Motherland/Defender of the Fatherland Day
Of the 8 top Russian holidays, this holiday expresses vigorous support for the country. This day is similar to how Americans recognize Veteran’s Day or Memorial Day. In Russia, it is a celebration to honor very large and powerful Russian armies. They came up with this date due to following the Julian calendar. The plan was to celebrate this holiday on January 28th, but there wasn’t enough time to complete all the necessary information with the legislative body. As a result, the celebration was postponed until mid-February. The International Women’s Day is recognized on March 8, as does Westerners who, at the time, were going by the Gregorian calendar. But because Russia still operated from the Julian calendar, they celebrated 15 days early. Hence the February 23rd celebration date.
March 8: International Women’s Day
Inherited from the era of the Soviet Union, Russia celebrates this public holiday with pride. While it can be compared to how Westerners celebrate Mother’s Day, it is a little different. All women are celebrated on this day. This holiday is very important because it symbolizes the fight women had to endure for rights, equality and peace.
May 9: Victory Day
This holiday marks Japan’s surrender to the Allies in 1945, ending World War II. It also is remembered as the day the Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany. This is a time for Russians to acknowledge those who gave their lives to achieve this victory. Military parades, fireworks and concerts accompany this celebration. This top Russian holiday is very historical and has been celebrated for a long time.
June 12: Russia Day
Beginning in 1992, this top Russian holiday was created to celebrate Russia as an independent country. This day marks when the Declaration of the Sovereignty of the Russian Federation was signed. Moreover, the national flag was recognized and the national anthem was developed on this day. Much like Victory Day, this holiday is celebrated with fireworks and concerts. State awards are also handed out to outstanding Russians who made significant accomplishments in the past year.
Letting your Russian woman know you understand why this day is important will score you major points.
November 4: Day of National Unity
Created in 2004, this top Russian holiday promotes undying patriotism. The title of this holiday stems from how all classes of Russian society united to save the country. Historically, Day of National Unity symbolizes liberation. Moscow separated from Lithuanian troops in 1612.
We hope we have been able to shed some light on the 8 Top Russian Holidays that are important. With this understanding, you will be confident enough to speak about holidays with your Russian woman. And she may even be more inclined to share about herself because she knows you care about her culture.

Don’t want to make the correction, The Pacific War was still going on, May 8, 1945. Germany surrendered to the Allied Powers. But not Imperial Japan. That surrender would come on September 2, 1945, in Tokyo Harbor aboard the USS Missouri. It was pretty much the U.S Navy’s responsibility. It was a hard war.
