ebruary 23 is a day of military glory in Russia - the Defender of the Fatherland Day.
On this day in 1918, in the vicinity of villages of the Bolshoe Lopatino and Maloe Lopatino near Pskov, the fighters of the 2nd Red Army Corps started to fight against an advanced detachment of German troops that were marching toward Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg).
That is why upon the initiative of the Petrograd Council, February 23 was proclaimed the Red Army Day.
🎆 After the World War II, in Moscow, the other capitals of the USSR's Republics, as well as hero cities, and the hero fortress of Brest, established a tradition to perform solemn artillery salutes on February 23rd.
On this day, by long-standing custom, people meet with veterans, pay tribute and lay flowers to the graves of fallen soldiers, participate in solemn ceremonies.
