On November 4, Russia celebrates the Day of National Unity. The holiday is dedicated to the events of 1612, when the people's militia under the leadership of Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky played a decisive role in liberating Moscow from the Polish-Lithuanian garrison. People from different classes joined forces to protect the country. The holiday was celebrated for the first time in 2005. Today he reminds us of the importance of civil responsibility, mutual aid and the ability to act together in the face of a common threat.
