On June 12, Russia celebrates the state holiday – the Day of Russia.
On this day in 1990, the I congress of people’s deputies of the RSFSR adopted a declaration of state sovereignty of the RSFSR. According to the document in the RSFSR, the equality of political parties and public organizations was recognized, the principle of separation of powers was proclaimed, the supremacy of the Constitution of the RSFSR and the laws of the RSFSR throughout the RSFSR was declared, the need was recognized as the need to expand the rights of autonomous republics, autonomous regions and districts, as well as the Krai and regions of the RSFSR.
The day of adoption of the declaration of state sovereignty began to be called Independence Day. On June 2, 1994, the president of that period, Boris Yeltsin issued a decree announcing the day of the adoption of the Declaration on the State Sovereignty of the RSFSR (i.e. June 12) by the Russian holiday. And in 1998, the President of the Russian Federation in his appeal on June 12 invited the Russians to call the day of the adoption of the Declaration on State Sovereignty Day of Russia. However, officially this name will be received only after the entry into force of the new Labor Code on February 1, 2002.
In various regions of Russia, all kinds of events are organized on the occasion of the holiday. In Moscow on Red Square there are celebrations that end with a festive salute.
