In flashes of blinding dreams,

From her bird cherry and birch trees.

That she will exalt you like a mother
And will not offend anyone.

About the beauty that is so sweet
For the gaze of the eyes, ale for the heart?
River flowing into the distance
Wooded shore then deserted
That quiet disposition, and then noisy.
Along the banks of that river
Birches are dormant and oaks.
When it flows through the fields
Vistula is not more modestly dressed.
In a flowering meadow, the beauty of the fields
And in the bird's joyful trill,
And look from the height of an eagle
Oh how sweet Wisla
Like a young maiden slender
Although you flow through the ages.

Glad contented music lover.

Koito is not risky - do not worry. (Bulgaria)
(He who does not take risks does not drink champagne.)

May friendship be strong and inseparable.
Problems, crises, she will survive.
There will be no wars, but only our friendship,
And in our countries, harmony, peace, income.
Let's take hands, stand in a circle,
Every person is a friend!
Children and teachers go out in a circle, perform a round dance song "Children of the whole Earth are friends."
Today is a day of friendship and unity,
And I hasten to congratulate you,
After all, friendship is not a law,
And we don't pay anyone for unity.
And on this day, I still strive,
You harmony, idyll, goodness,
So that nothing upsets you
Happy friendship day, unity of the Slavs!
All Slavic peoples, I congratulate you today,
Because we are from the same breed, so we are one family!

Disturbed lady, our tricky life.
On this Day, I send my huge greetings to all the Slavs,
And I wish you to live happily, amicably, peacefully for many years.
Have fun and live brightly, sunnyly, easily.
So that the dream, like a bird, rises high.
In the steppe, burned in the sun,
Lives among dense forests
born of the same mother,
Slavic, proud, our people.
Pole and Russian, Ukrainian,
Croat and Serb, as well as Czech -
Slavs, today we will embrace,
In honor of our unity of all.
Slovak and Belarusian, Bulgarian,
They will always understand each other's speech
The blood flows in their veins,
They all live side by side.
Yes, even though we are sometimes far away
And between us is a fragile bridge,
Let's throw a feast on a mountain today,
Let's make a toast in honor of our friendship.
Happy Friendship Day!
We are brothers for centuries.
And we need communication
It was so that the connection is strong.
Slavs, let them be successful
From now on, our days will be
Filled with tasks
They are solved!
Slavs are glorious peoples,
One river of mighty water.
And the unity of our countries
Not shared by the ocean.
There is a beautiful choir by that river.
For quite some time now
We have a common concern
And the hearts of the general decrees.
Slavs, brothers! This festival,
Shows who we are.
On the whole planet we are kinder,
And the exploits of the Slavs can not be counted.
Even after many centuries
Our unity will not leave.
Let our children remember
How glorious their people were.
May health be with us
Do good deeds.
I congratulate everyone on the holiday,
Success, joy, kindness.
In our veins - the power of the holy,
Spirit of boundless faith.
We are like a cloud, like a flock:
Everyone is a brother and everyone is a friend.
Sons of the earth one
Born to do good
With a generous heart, with a lion's grip -
Better to live in peace with us.
Wise ancestors honor the covenants.
We are all brothers - one blood.
If in battle, then until victory,
If you drink, then to the bottom!
Everyone is strong and hardy -
Harness, go yell!
We beat first, questions - after,
For wife, honor and mother.
Today we congratulate the Slavic brothers,
We wish them only good
Peace and friendship, without quarrels and conflicts,
It's time for us all to reconcile!
Common roots, our history -
All this is very important for us,
Let's be united, because there is strength in this,
And the enemy will not break us or you.
Let's live in peace together
Without losing dignity and honor.
We are brothers in strength, spirit and blood,
We will always be happy and healthy.
The friendship of the Slavs is strong for centuries,
Let life be hard sometimes.
We stand by strength and faith for our brother,
Such friendship cannot be destroyed by others!
The holiday is designed to unite the Slavs and remind the whole world of the rich traditions inherent in Slavic culture. Our article will tell about the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs.
Slavs
There are about 350 million Slavs in the world. Slavic peoples are divided into three groups:
Eastern
- Russians (Russia);
- Ukrainians (Ukraine);
- Belarusians (Belarus);
- Rusyns (Transcarpathia, Slovakia, Poland).
Western
- Czechs (Czech Republic);
- Slovaks (Slovakia);
- Poles (Poland);
- Kashubians (Kashubia - Polish Pomerania);
- Lusatian Serbs (Lausitz, Germany).
South
- Bulgarians (Bulgaria);
- Serbs (Serbia);
- Croats (Croatia);
- Slovenes (Slovenia);
- Macedonians (Macedonia);
- Montenegrins (Montenegro);
- Bosniaks (Bosnia and Herzegovina);
- Herzegovina (Herzegovina).
In order to convey the peculiarities and uniqueness of national traditions to emigrants of the second and third generations, diasporas and national organizations holding cultural events are being created in many settlements anywhere in the world.
History of the Slavs
There are many theories about the origin and settlement of the Slavs. The first mention of the Slavic peoples date back to the 6th-8th centuries.
Until the beginning of the last century, the Slavs did not live in sovereign states. Slavic peoples, with the exception of Montenegrins in Montenegro and Lusatians in the Slavic enclave of Germany, partly inhabited:
- Ottoman Empire;
- Austria-Hungary;
- Russian empire.
The situation changed radically by the end of the last century. Now every nationality belonging to the Slavic group, excluding the Ruthenians and Lusatian Serbs, has its own separate state territory.
The Slavs are not concentrated in any particular place on the globe, but scattered throughout Europe, northern and central Asia.
Celebration concept
The idea to unite the peoples of the Slavic group dates back to the era of Cyril and Methodius, the creators of the Old Slavonic alphabet, which united the Slavic peoples in those distant times.
The Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs was invented with the aim of rallying peoples, strengthening the bond between fathers and children, and recalling spiritual values, customs and heritage.
Every year, the presidents hold public speeches, where they recall the most significant historical events and convey congratulations on this international holiday to the inhabitants of their state and other countries with a Slavic population. Diasporas and Slavic cultural associations organize celebrations and events.
Holiday
The Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs is celebrated every summer. Traditionally, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and Ukraine are responsible in turn for the celebration. Unfortunately, in 2016, the celebration had to be canceled, as Ukraine, which is responsible for organizing the festival, ignored the event.
The holiday is held on the Slavic field near the monument "Three Sisters". The event attracts thousands of people from different cities and countries. Among the participants you can see:
- guests from abroad;
- administration representatives;
- the youth;
- children;
- singers and musicians;
- public figures;
- athletes;
- painters and sculptors;
- historians;
- admirers of the traditions and history of their country.
The celebration takes place in the Slavic spirit: people sing songs, dress in national costumes, treat each other with dishes from the cuisines of the Slavic peoples. Fairs, expositions are organized, souvenirs are sold.
Young athletes and the smallest participants can compete in various sports, and there are intellectual games and question contests for the winners of school olympiads.
The festival tries to combine the traditions and culture of three eras: Kievan Rus, the Russian Empire and the USSR. Games of the times of paganism peacefully side by side with the liturgy and an exhibition dedicated to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
History is an integral part of the festival. Lectures and quizzes are held, organizers and participants talk about historical facts from the life of the Slavs, about their way of life today, in the recent and distant past.
emergence
The forerunner to the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs was a tripartite youth festival. The first celebration of "Slavic Unity" dates back to 1969. Klimovsky district of the Bryansk region is located in the place where the border between Russia, Belarus and Ukraine passes. The celebration inspired the Soviet youth, and the event began to be celebrated every summer.
Six years later, on the thirtieth anniversary of the Victory of the USSR over the fascist invaders, a monument of friendship between peoples was erected at the venue of the celebration, called the "Three Sisters" in honor of the three close-knit Slavic powers.
Holidays of recent years
The Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs in the current format is a rather young holiday. It began to be celebrated in the early 1990s. After the collapse of the USSR, there was an urgent need to maintain friendly, partnership and business relations in a new format. A little later, in 1999, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus signed an agreement.
In 2005, on the thirtieth anniversary of the Friendship Monument, the organizers of the celebration focused on the post-war period. Songs of the post-war years and a real camp kitchen contributed to the creation of the atmosphere.
In 2006, the celebration was centered around Slavic cuisine. Anyone could taste traditional dishes, see giant culinary products.
The celebration in 2007 transformed the celebration into a kind of book fair.
2008 was dedicated to the family and the event focused on family holidays.
In 2009, the celebration was held under the auspices of the youth, so the organizers pleased the young participants with interesting leisure activities.
Celebration (script)
The Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs in 2017 was held under the auspices of childhood.
For participants from distant corners of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Belarus and visitors from neighboring countries, a unique youth camp was organized at the edge of the forest.
Traditionally, the participants of the celebration honored the memory of the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
Musical accompaniment was provided by Alexander Dobronravov and other popular Russian and Belarusian performers.
Especially for the little guests, the organizers have come up with a lot of interesting events. Children could see and participate in exhibitions, demonstrations, demonstration performances, intellectual quizzes, and compete in various sports.
The following photo of the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs, taken in 2017, perfectly demonstrates the auspices of the celebration.
Congratulations on the Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs
The Day of Friendship and Unity of the Slavs is an occasion to remember relatives, friends and acquaintances who are far from you. Congratulate those who moved to live in another city or country. If it is not possible to call, send them congratulations by SMS, e-mail, send postcards on social networks. Moving is not a reason to forget about your roots, traditions and culture.
The Slavs are the largest group of peoples. These people combine common traditions, outlook on life, similar languages. The number of representatives of this nation, according to various estimates, ranges from 300 to 350 million people. They are divided into 3 categories - eastern, western and southern. The first group includes Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians and Rusyns, the second - Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, Lusatians and Kashubians, the third - residents of Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Bosnia, Macedonia. All of them celebrate Friendship and Unity Day annually. The date of celebration is June 25th.
history of the holiday
The Slavic people are great and one of the most ancient. There are no exact historical facts about where and when he appeared. There are only probable assumptions and curious hypotheses. Previously, representatives of this beautiful nation lived on the territory of 15 republics united by one state. In the first half of the 90s. In the 20th century, it collapsed. Then most of the republics then became independent. To rally people, a holiday was established to preserve the unity of fraternal nations.
The purpose of this event is to strengthen ties and preserve the spiritual community. It is celebrated in many countries that were previously part of the USSR. The first to take serious steps towards unity were the Russian Federation and the Republic of Belarus. These countries have concluded a number of agreements aimed at mutual cooperation, which implies equality.
In the second half of the 19th century, almost all Slavic peoples lived in 3 empires: Russian, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman. However, the Montenegrins lived in the small independent state of Montenegro, and the Lusatians lived in Germany. At the end of the 20th century, these peoples, in addition to the Russians (who are considered a state-forming ethnic group) and the Lusatians, gained state independence.
