Civil aviation is one of the sectors of the national economy. On the territory of the USSR, the first air route for passenger air transportation was opened back in 1923. The first cities to be connected by air were Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod. December 7 is celebrated all over the world not only by aviators, but also by all people who are not part of the air transportation industry.

On December 7, a holiday that seems funny at first glance, but has great philosophical meaning, is celebrated - Drinking Buddy Day. A good mood and pleasure from time spent with a glass of champagne or whiskey very much depends on the company. A drinking buddy is a person who sacredly honors the laws of drinking: he knows that the toastee drinks to the bottom, just like the toastee... And at the end of the party you can and should sing a song.

In the story "Pittish Happiness" published in 1861, the writer N.G. Pomyalovsky called young pompous girls muslin young ladies. Centuries later, an unknown joker decided to play on the old expression “muslin young ladies” and came up with “muslin girls.” A funny holiday has been established in honor of these mysterious persons.

Not only humans, but also representatives of the animal world like to sleep for a long time. This is how they restore their strength and accumulate vital resources. December 7 is World Sleeper Day. The people in whose honor this funny holiday was established most often celebrate it in bed.

The Hermitage is the second museum in the world after the Louvre in terms of the number of works of art collected in one place.

The order was established in 1769 by Catherine II. By order of the Empress, the award was given to those who distinguished themselves on the battlefield. The award was in the shape of a cross with blades widening downwards. In the center was a medallion with the image of St. George the Victorious slaying a serpent.

The people called Saint Catherine, revered by the Orthodox on this day, the Woman-Giver, since the martyr patronized all brides, married women, and pregnant women. It was named sleigh because sledding games were traditionally held on its day. Weather signs: the starry sky foreshadowed a snowstorm in the coming days, the sun in the sky meant that the winter would be frosty, and fogs and thaw promised warmth for ten days.
