Russian Empire Day On November 2, 1721, as a result of the victorious Northern War, Russia became the Russian Empire - a superpower in the terminology of the time. I hope that the time will come, the relationship of time will return and this day will become a holiday, as one of the most important days in our history. Just like December 30, the day of the formation of the Soviet Union, which emerged from the melting pot of the Great Patriotic War as a superpower of the 20th century, will also become a national holiday. The history of Russia is united and inseparable. November 2 - Empire Day December 30 - Soviet Union Day.
