We just need to positively tune ourselves in order to revive our power again and help everyone to achieve prosperity. People should go to museums, know our history, and visiting them for free is a good sign for our society.

It is an excellent tradition to present awards from the State by the President of the Russian Federation every year on Russia Day.

In honor of the holiday on June 11 and 12, the capital will host the festival “Day of Russia. Moscow time". Tverskaya Street will become its main platform. During the holiday it will be made pedestrian. There will be opened seven thematic zones. Each of them will be devoted to different periods in the history of Russia (starting from the 20th century).

A week that starts with a weekend is doubly enjoyable. This is exactly what the seven-day period will be like, the first days of which will fall on the celebration of the Day of Russia. We will work less and rest more. Celebrating the holiday in Moscow will begin on June 11. At different venues, athletic master classes will be held, tours of past sports, a food festival, meetings with artists and writers, and other educational and useful entertainment will be organized.

Specially for the Day of Russia, thematic walking tours will be arranged in the capital. For three days (June 10-12), their participants are offered to visit 27 free walking programs dedicated to the history and life of Moscow. The groups will visit the places of Vladimir Mayakovsky and Anna Akhmatova, see the most picturesque places in the Moscow center, visit all the capital's hills, look into unknown corners that seem hard to miss. On the Day of Russia itself, the guides prepared a whole four-hour marathon from Chistoprudny Boulevard to Zaryadye Park, which includes several routes at once. To find out everything about excursions and get on the list of participants, you need to register.

Holiday food

Given that Russia Day will be held on the eve of the opening of the football championship, many catering establishments have prepared a special menu with traditional Russian dishes. But the streets of the capital will pleasantly surprise you with a variety of dishes that you will not find in any restaurant. Let's go back to Tverskaya. Here, as part of the festival, a large gastronomic feast will be held. Do not be lazy to look at the shopkeepers. They will offer you to try red pancakes, “revolutionary hot dogs” with stew, pancakes with buckwheat and duck, open pies from a wood-fired oven with various fillings, and many other table riches with a slight touch of the past. Modernity will not be bypassed: burgers, brioches, gazpacho, assorted toasts will also be presented in large quantities.

Let's turn in the direction of the Hanoi-Moscow shopping center. Here, within the framework, a huge assortment of Vietnamese dishes will be presented, gastronomic traditions and exotic drinks, authentic recipes and popular fast food will be combined. There will also be an entertainment program.

active holiday

If just walking through the streets and parks is not enough for you, and you want to take a direct part in the holiday, and at the same time have a good warm-up, Moscow venues have prepared several options for outdoor enthusiasts. So, for example, the Yauza sports and recreation complex will hold the Day of Russia on June 12 in a sports format. In addition to fitness exercises and fun starts, the program will include mini-golf tournaments, tug-of-war competitions, darts and petanque. Also, everyone who wants to know their abilities better will try to pass the TRP standards. But this requires a doctor's note.

But Perovsky Park will be allowed without a certificate: on June 12, a family holiday will be held here with relay races and rather unusual disciplines: a giant bowling alley, building for speed from soft parts. In the State Museum-Reserve "Tsaritsyno" they will even arrange a mini-football tournament. To take part in it, you should get up early: the gathering of those wishing to prove themselves is scheduled for 9:30, and the games will be held from 10 to 18 hours.

Firework

One of the main questions that worries many during the big holidays: when to watch the fireworks in Moscow? Let there be a big concert on the evening of June 13 on Red Square on the eve of the 2018 World Cup, this does not cancel the fire show on Russia Day, which will be held here. Multi-colored volleys will soar into the sky at 22:00. And although convenient viewing platforms have been prepared in each administrative district of the capital, on Red Square, in addition to fireworks, you can also see a festive evening show with the participation of popular domestic performers.
