Every year in Russia a number of dates are celebrated, which are marked by special events in the life of our country and people living or once living on its territory. Everyone knows how many cultural figures, great politicians, writers, scientists and other famous people were born in Russia. In addition, our country does not forget about those events that have affected the course of history most dramatically. And so that we all remember and honor all these dates and events, you should familiarize yourself with the list of anniversaries, memorable and significant dates for 2018.

What dates are called anniversaries, memorable and significant

It is impossible to start talking about any significant date without understanding why it is called that way. We will find out why the dates are referred to as memorable, anniversary or significant, and what this is connected with.

The concept of " anniversary date”, oddly enough, quite intuitively and often in the generally accepted view differs from the application of such a formulation in practice. Most often, when speaking about a specific person or event, we mention the anniversary date, counting the period from his birth or the day the event occurred. Also, sometimes anniversaries are counted from the day of death or a special life event - the publication of a scientific work or the publication of a book. There is no rule about what date should be called an anniversary, but most often a round date is celebrated, that is, ending in 0, or half, having 5 at the end.

Definition anniversaries more specific. Memorable dates are those that in a special way influenced the course of historical events or somehow affected the political, cultural or other sphere. In Russia, there is a whole list of memorable dates, which is formed by the Ministry of Culture and noted in the legislation.

Significant dates represent those dates on which less outstanding, but especially memorable events took place in the country or the world.
