📆 Russia celebrates Day of National Unity The celebration recalls the fateful period of the early 17th century, when our country was on the verge of losing sovereignty. By uniting, the people of Russia defended their native land, expelled the invaders, and marked the beginning of the country's rebirth. After the death of the last representative of the Rurik dynasty – Tsar Feodor Ioannovich – in 1598, the country was plunged into turmoil. Internecine strife began, false tsars emerged, and neighbouring powers actively intervened in the internal affairs of the state. Polish troops controlled Moscow. In 1611 an initiative to form the people’s militia began in Nizhny Novgorod. It was headed by the Zemsky elder Kuzma Minin, and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky took charge of the military actions. By the autumn of 1612, the people’s militia hab liberated Moscow from the invaders. This victory marked the revival of the Russian state. Since that time, Dmitry Pozharsky and Kuzma Minin have become national heroes, and the holiday is a reminder of the unity and strength of the people of Russia. 🔹Russian Defence Ministry
