Every year at the end of winter Russian people and several other neighboring nations celebrate the Defender of the Fatherland Day. This holiday falls on February 23rd and has special meaning.
It was first celebrated in the first half of the 20th century as the day of Red Army. Today, it’s commonly known as the father’s or all men’s day. On this occasion women across Russia and some former Soviet republics prepare small but hearty presents for their fathers, husbands, sons, brothers, boyfriends and simply male friends. Apart from presents they can buy postcards or flowers for them. It is especially appreciated when little girls prepare some handmade stuff for their fathers or brothers. Such small but valuable presents are always cherished.
