Russia Day is a national holiday celebrated annually on 12 June. It was established in honor of the event of 1990, when the first Congress of People's Deputies adopted the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the RSFSR. The document established the supremacy of the Constitution and laws of the RSFSR throughout the country, the principle of separation of powers, and the equality of political parties and public organizations.

At first, the holiday was called Independence Day. In 1994, it received official status and a name – Day of Adoption of the Declaration of State Sovereignty of Russia. Since 1998, the holiday has been renamed Russia Day.

On this day, our fellow citizens celebrate the beginning of a new stage in our national history. Russia Day embodies love for the Motherland, reminds us of the importance of unity and mutual respect for each other.
