Day of Agricultural and Processing Industry Workers in Russia

The date was chosen for a reason, because in the first weeks of October autumn is already actively coming into its own, and there are fewer and fewer bright and sunny days. Therefore, you should rejoice at the last bright and warm sunny days of the year, because in a couple of weeks there may well be the first frosts.

The holiday is intended to draw attention to the diversity of this order of cephalopods and the preservation of the octopus population. The date of the celebration is not random - the 8th day of October was chosen by analogy with the number of octopus tentacles ("osm" in Old Slavonic means "eight").

"In Russia there are no roads - there are only directions." However, as it turned out, untrodden paths, impassable swamps and steppes have fans who have established a holiday in 2021. On October 8, vehicle owners demonstrate their passion for driving on slopes and gullies as they set off on an off-road journey.

The Battle of Navarino, which took place on October 8, 1827 in the bay of the Ionian Sea, was won thanks to the Russian squadron led by Rear Admiral L.P. Heyden and captain 1st rank M.P. Lazarev. The commanders had wisdom, experience, courage and strategic thinking, which played a decisive role in the destruction of the Turkish-Egyptian armada.

Every year on this day the Orthodox Church honors the memory of Sergius of Radonezh. Since ancient times, people have been preparing cabbage for fermentation, starting preparations for the wedding season, and slaughtering chickens for sale. People consider the saint to be the guardian of chickens. On October 8, peasants slaughtered birds for sale, and also began chopping cabbage for sourdough.
