Unity Day (also called Day of People’s Unity or National Unity Day; Russian: День народного единства, romanized: Denʹ narodnogo yedinstva) is a national holiday in Russia held on 4 November [O.S. 22 October]. It commemorates the popular uprising which expelled Polish–Lithuanian occupation forces from Moscow by a militia from Nizhny Novgorod in November 1612, and more generally the end of the Time of Troubles and turning point of the Polish-Russian War (1605–1618).

The day’s name alludes to the idea that all classes of Russian society united to preserve Russian statehood when there was neither a tsar nor a patriarch to guide them. In 1613 tsar Mikhail Romanov instituted a holiday named Day of Moscow’s Liberation from Polish Invaders.^[1] It was celebrated in the Russian Empire until 1917, when it was replaced with a commemoration of the Russian Revolution. Unity Day was reinstituted by the Russian Federation in 2005, when the events of the year 1612 have been celebrated instead of those of 1917 every 4 November since. The day is also the feast day of the Russian Orthodox icon of Our Lady of Kazan.

Popularity[edit]

According to a poll in 2007, only 23 percent of Russians know the name of the holiday, up from 8 percent in 2005. 22 percent identified the holiday as the Day of Accord and Reconciliation, the name of the holiday on 7 November during the 1990s. Only 4% knew that the holiday commemorates the liberation of Moscow from Polish invaders, and in 2005, only 5%. ^[2]

Controversy[edit]

President Vladimir Putin reestablished the holiday in order to replace the commemoration of the October Revolution, known as the Day of Great October Socialist Revolution during Soviet period and as the Day of Accord and Conciliation in post-Soviet times,^[3] which formerly took place on 7 November. His decision angered some sections of the public,^[4] particularly the Communist Party, who continued with celebrations on 7 November. Putin’s predecessor, Boris Yeltsin took a limited action of changing the name of the holiday; by completely removing it, Putin initiated a controversy that continues to this very day.

Events (2005 onwards)[edit]

For the last 16 years, since 2004, Russia has developed a tradition to celebrate the Day of National Unity on November 4 every year. On this day, festive concerts, mass celebrations and other entertainment events are held throughout the country. Officially, November 4 is considered a non-working day, which makes our citizens very happy. Face masks and other precautions related to the coronavirus pandemic are being added to all the holiday chores this year.

The date is marked in red on the calendar. As they said before, «November 7 is the red day of the calendar», only now they celebrate not the 7th, but 4 November.

And although the holiday has been celebrated for more than a decade and a half, not everyone in our country knows what it is dedicated to.

In fact, the Day of National Unity symbolizes the solidarity and unity of the Russian people, ensuring the country’s well-being and prosperity. On this day in 1612, the people’s militia, which included representatives of different nationalities, estates and religions, liberated Moscow from the Polish invaders and defended the independence of Russia. The militiamen were led by the zemstvo headman Kuzma Minin and prince Dmitry Pozharsky, whose monument can be seen on Red Square near St. Basil’s Cathedral.

And today, as then, peace, cohesion and harmony between the citizens of Russia of all nationalities, political and religious views are able to perform a miracle and lead Russia to power and prosperity. Therefore, the editorial board of Voennoye Obozreniye calls on all Russians to congratulate each other on this great holiday — National Unity Day.

Unity Day (Russia) — National Unity Day or Day of People’s Unity

National Unity Day, which will be celebrated tomorrow on November 4, is one of the newest holidays in Russia. The public holiday has been celebrated since the Kremlin introduced it in 2005.

So tomorrow when schools, post offices, public buildings and most businesses are closed and Russians are celebrating, what is it that we celebrate?

In short: Russia is celebrating the liberation from Polish-Lithuanian invaders in 1612.

With a little bit more background: This public holiday commemorates an uprising that freed Moscow from Polish-Lithuanian occupation forces on November 4, 1612. Leaders of the uprising Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, became national heroes. In 1649, Russian Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich made November 4 a public holiday.

Many Russians celebrated this day until 1917. In 1918, the Bolsheviks replaced it with a new holiday, November 7, to commemorate the October Revolution of 1917.

In 2005 President Vladimir Putin reestablished the holiday from 1649 in order to replace the commemoration of the October Revolution.

So now when you know the background, I bet you wonder how to celebrate? Well, some people lay flowers to the monument of the national heroes, Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky in front of St Basil’s Cathedral on Red Square here in Moscow. Russian Orthodox Christians attend church services. However, for many Russians, November 4 is just another day off or a substitute for a holiday that was held on November 7 in the Soviet times.

Good to know is that a political meeting will be held at Triumphalnaya ploshad, avoid it if you can.

Happy National Unity Day!
