"Day of the Soviet Youth", began to celebrate in 1958. It is celebrated annually on the last Sunday of June. In 1993, the first President of Russia B. N. Yeltsin moved the holiday to June 27. But despite the official order, in many cities of the country the date of the Youth Day remained "floating" - last Sunday of June. The reason is simple: June 27 is not considered a non-working day, so they try to time all festive events to coincide with the day off.
“The young are dear to us everywhere, the old people are honored everywhere” - is sung in a famous song. And this is absolutely correct, because only careful succession and mutual respect of generations can give rise to a happy future. Ah, if it were not only in the song! But the first steps have been taken: the calendar includes both the Day of the Elderly and the Day of the Youth - who knows, maybe someday we will become more attentive to each other, not only on the appointed holidays and memorable dates?
How is this day celebrated? Of course, noisy, fun, sparkling - as befits youth. On Youth Day, as a rule, concerts, all kinds of entertainment events, etc. are planned.
But after all, the purpose of such “named” holidays is not only entertainment, but also to attract the attention of society and the state to a certain group of the population. Therefore, various events are held on Youth Day - conferences, seminars, competitions - allowing talented young people to diversify themselves and present their creative ideas to the general public. Often this day allows a young person to find a job they like or choose a profession.
Of course, society turns its attention to youth not only on this day, here is one of the latest news in this area: Russia plans to host the 19th Youth and Student Festival in 2017.
Similar festivals have been held since 1947. In Russia, the festival of youth and students was last held before the collapse of the USSR. Therefore, if these plans come true, it will be very interesting and certainly fruitful.
By the way, there is another holiday dedicated to young citizens. This is International Youth Day. It is celebrated every year on August 12 all over the world. It was established by the UN General Assembly as part of the World Conference of Ministers on Youth Affairs.
In 2000, the first official celebration of International Youth Day took place. Here is another reason to remember the concerns and problems of young people and support them in the difficult task of growing up.
And here is another interesting memorable date - World Youth Day, but it should not be confused with the holidays described above! World Youth Day is a religious holiday established by the Catholic Church. True, not only Catholics are invited to the World Congress of Young People, but everyone who wants to, regardless of their religion. Such a congress is held once every two or three years.
I wonder who is considered youth, what age group? Official statistics are strict: people from 14 to 30-35 years old are considered young people. But in fact, Youth Day exists for those who are young at heart and young at heart. So this is a holiday for all of us?
Every year, young people all over the world widely celebrate their holidays and events: August 12 is International Youth Day, June 27 Russian Youth Day is celebrated by Russian boys and girls. November 10 is World Youth Day, which is established in honor of the founding of the World Federation ofDemocratic Youth (WFDY) (World Federation of Democratic Youth, WFDY).
This event took place at the World Youth Conference held October 29 - November 10, 1945 in London. This historic conference was convened at the initiative of the World Youth Council, which was created during World War II to fight fascism. For the first time, the conference brought together representatives of the international youth movement, which united more than 30 million young people of different political ideologies and religions, youth of more than 63 nationalities. Since then, the international association of youth organizations has been the center of the international democratic youth movement, uniting young people from all over the world without distinction of political and religious views, race and nationality. The WFDY is fighting for peace, the rights of young people, the independence of peoples, and the international unity of progressive youth; against colonialism, neo-colonialism, fascism and racism. Emblem of the XII Festival in Moscow (1985) The most famous event held by WFDY is the Festival of Youth and Students. The 1st World Festival of Youth and Students (1st World Festival of Youth and Students) was held in Prague in 1947 and gathered 17 thousand participants. Russia has twice been the host country of the festival. The 6th World Festival of Youth and Students was held in Moscow in 1957. Moscow that year hosted 34,000 participants from 131 countries. The motto of the holiday was the words: For peace and friendship! (For Peace and Friendship!). Moscow also hosted the 12th World Festival of Youth and Students in the summer of 1985.

Legs are imprinted."

Song of the Young
Give way to us, gray rocks,
Let your backs
The paths are not blocked.
"Who you are?"
We are young!
"It's too early for you to climb the peaks!"
Time called us to climb them!
You embrace us, sea waves,
Us ship
Hand over the rudders!
"Who you are,
Who you are?"
Time has called us - we are young,
Time tells us to lead the ships.
Hey you brown ones, hey you bay ones,
Hey ravens,
Fly to hell!
"Who you are?"
We are young!
Time is calling us through the distances of the earth,
The stirrup gives us enviable things.
The first to storm the rank and file,
Love has become an amulet
For them.
We are young,
We are young.
To distant planets, according to many signs,
To the stars sung - we are closer than others.
Life will not plant evil thoughts in us,
The right word
Sounds like a curse.
We are young,
We are young.
We are all at the mercy of the call,
We hear again the horn of time.
Rasul Gamzatov
my generation
Do not scold my generation -
This is your ranks replenishment.
And don't judge him for fashion
Approach him with a pure heart.
It's not about how we dance,
It's about how we sow and plow.
As in swamps we wander knee-deep -
This is also my generation.
You are right, we have not seen the war,
And you have orders and medals.
But for a feat at any moment
My generation will rise up.
Ahead and awards and titles,
We, senior comrades, are with you.
If necessary, we will freeze in granite -
Do not scold my generation.
Raisa Sarbi
* * *
Youth is an unconscious reserve
Moons and springs waiting ahead!
Age - if not even twenty -
The distance of a long life warms us.
In a word, life is creeping, and we are flying ...
But one day in maturity we will understand:
The flow of time is inevitable -
This life flies, and we crawl ...
Get yourself early.
Draw a road from roads;
You will not find the way in time -
Life will slip through your fingers
Like sand...
Alexander Koval-Volkov
In every state of the world, where a course has been taken for the development of society, great hopes are placed on young people, who are assigned the role of creators of the future of the country. The holidays and events dedicated to them serve to unite the youth and stimulate their educational and spiritual development. International Youth Day is celebrated by many countries on August 12, and World Youth Day is celebrated 10th of November. This day was established in honor of the founding of the World Federation of Democratic Youth at the 1945 World Youth Conference in London. In Russia, since 1993, by decree of the President, the date for celebrating the Day of Youth has been set - 27th of June. In many regions and localities, Youth Day 2019 will be celebrated on a day off June 29.
The history of the holiday in Russia
Youth Day, like any significant event, has its own history. Until 1958, this holiday was not celebrated in the Soviet Union. The VI World Festival of Youth and Students, held in Moscow in July 1957, served as a prerequisite for founding the celebration of Youth Day. It became a significant event not only for young people, but for the whole country. The international festival clearly showed how important the unity of youth is for the implementation of important social and political tasks.
In February 1958, the Government of the Soviet Union decided to establish its own festive Youth Day, the date of celebration of which at the state level was set for the last Sunday of June. The holiday at that time had a pronounced political character. Its holding in nature has become a tradition. The procession of youth through the streets of settlements was accompanied by flags, banners, brass bands. The final collection area was mainly parks or forest glades. Youth concerts, various competitions and sports competitions were held there.
Youth Day in modern Russia
Today, the Russian government relies on young people in the development of science, technology, art, sports and information technology. It tries to attract young people to participate in various federal programs related to the improvement of labor, education, social and cultural life of young people. To this end, various competitions and grants are held, following which the Government and the President award the winners and the best representatives of youth. The understanding of the country's leadership of youth problems is served by meetings with students and young specialists from various sectors of the national economy.
At meetings of the country's leadership with youth activists, the issues of getting young people a quality education: secondary, vocational and higher. It's no secret that having a good education is a great start in life.
The employment of young people after receiving secondary technical and higher education is also acute in the current crisis. During the celebration of Youth Day 2019, as in previous years, the leadership of the regions will try to hold meetings of young people with potential employers, organize a kind of job fairs.
The problems of helping young families are also in the field of view of the federal and regional leadership. On Youth Day, many regions provide material assistance to young parents with many children, and provide youth mortgages under the Young Family social program.
A separate topic that is in the attention of the Government is the education of young people in a healthy lifestyle. Bad habits: alcohol, drugs and smoking, unfortunately, have become a vital need for a large number of young people. They carry a mortal threat to life and contribute to the moral and mental degradation of a young person. To convey information about these problems is one of the most important tasks of urban and rural administrations. To this end, doctors and psychologists are involved in events, as well as young people who, with their success, have proven the benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Rehabilitation centers for getting rid of bad habits, youth labor and sports camps are being created.
How Youth Day is celebrated in Russia
Youth Day 2019, the date of the wide celebration of which is usually postponed to the weekend - the last Saturday or Sunday of June, is merrily celebrated in all regions of Russia. The government has approved a mandatory program of celebrations, which includes showing films and programs on youth topics on television, holding mass cultural and entertainment events, concert programs, flash mobs that focus on various problems of modern youth, competitions, sports competitions and demonstration performances of athletes, fun starts " You + I are a friendly family”, beauty contests.
Winners of various contests and competitions are encouraged with prizes and valuable gifts. Master classes in various areas of technical creativity, applied arts and mastering various sports are very popular. They awaken young people's interest in learning new skills and knowledge, distracting them from meaningless pastime and bad company. Numerous events are held in open areas and attract not only young people, but also the older generation.
The positive attitude of the state towards young people gives young people confidence in the future, stimulates them to acquire new knowledge, creativity and active participation in the public life of the country and the whole world.

How hard it is to lose
Friends and relatives, without whom
You won't be able to breathe.
And on this holiday young
Let everyone become young
The motive will hear the big world,
Our spiritual strings.
