You do not know when the Builder's Day is celebrated in our country and where did the tradition of celebrating it come from? Then read on.
Where does tradition come from?
The tradition originated in Soviet Russia - in 1956 on August 12, Builder's Day was celebrated for the first time. The innovation appeared after a year earlier the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR "On the establishment of the annual holiday" Day of the builder "." Starting from that moment, the celebration, which was held regularly, began to grow into traditions.
For example, every time the Builder’s Day was celebrated, it was customary to hand over various construction objects by this date, especially for large orders. For example, rented houses in whole microdistricts or large stadiums, objects with the status of socially significant.
Celebrating the professional holiday of builders has become simply a necessity in Soviet Russia. After all, it was necessary not only to build a lot: it was then that the most grandiose objects appeared, thanks to which our life now became much easier. Of course, no one argues that now the builders are doing no less work, but in those days they did not have such a "smart" technique as now.
When are we celebrating?
Nowadays, not every builder can answer right away when the Builder's Day is celebrated this time. The fact is that now the holiday is not fixed for a certain date, because the celebration every time falls on different numbers. We can say that at the moment, Builder's Day in Russia is tied to a specific day of the week.
It is still celebrated annually, and is done in August. Every second Sunday of this month is an occasion for builders to get together and remember about their achievements. And also to award the best of the best - this tradition also came from the Soviet era, when the Builder's Day was truly a national celebration.
The holiday, by the way, in our country in 2011 was recognized as federal, as you see, it has not lost its significance. No wonder, now in the Russian Federation there are about 1000 large construction organizations that can provide a wide variety of services.
It is estimated that in 2012, about 65 ml m 2 of housing was commissioned, and this is no less - almost 800 thousand apartments. And this indicator was a record for the time during which the Russian Federation exists. And the leaders in housing commissioning in 2012 were the Krasnodar Territory and the Chechen Republic.
No builders anywhere
In 2014, Russians will again celebrate Builder's Day. The number on which the holiday falls this time is August 10th. It will be celebrated as always widely. This celebration respects absolutely everything, from ordinary citizens to the highest ranks.
Now it is the construction industry that is one of the most important in the system of the Russian economy. Not only that, thanks to its existence, many people have jobs, so also the production of building materials is actively developing. If we calculate how much money construction and related areas bring to the budget of our country, then the figure will be almost a third of the total GDP.
