Peter I created not only the Russian fleet, both military and commercial. He created the country into a great maritime power. By his decree, a school of navigators was founded, which developed almost simultaneously with the fleet. January 25 marked the beginning of the service of military navigators. Navigators are an integral part of the crew of any warship. Without them, neither an accurate course nor a safe passage of the route is possible.

January 25 marks the birthday of Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov University, which is rightfully considered the oldest in Russia. 1755 was the year of foundation of this higher educational institution. “The fairy tale became reality” largely thanks to the activities of the first Russian academician Mikhail Vasilyevich Lomonosov.

In 1763, Catherine II, in order to improve the efficiency of army management, issued a resolution to create a new military formation on the basis of the quartermaster unit. According to the will of Her Majesty, on January 25, the General Staff for managing the ground forces of the Russian Empire was formed. Later, the navy was also under his control. Therefore, in modern Russia, January 25 is celebrated as the Day of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces.

Orthodox holidays January 25:

Every year on January 25, the day of remembrance of the holy martyr Tatiana, who died in Rome during the reign of Severus Alexander, is celebrated. In 1755, Tatiana's memory day acquired new meaning - the Great Empress Elizabeth I issued a decree on the opening of Moscow University. Later, a decree of Nicholas I was put into effect ordering the celebration not of the founding day of an educational institution, but of establishing a law on its opening. Thus, the now famous holiday of all students appeared - Tatiana's Day.
