The 23rd of February is "The day of protector of native land" in Russia. It's unofficial male day like The 8th March for woman.

Generally, at this day is holiday for military people, who was carring war or served as soldier at least. It may be and woman of course. But it is used to congratulated all mans and it's not important the men has ever been in army or not.

And as 23rd February became a "red" day of calendar (holiday in other words) cause I won't work today )))
It is very pleasantly to have a short working week. Only 4 days instead 5 !!!




P.S. I hope we will take a little feast today )
