On October 30, students of specialized schools, clients of fitness instructors, amateur and professional athletes annually congratulate their mentors on October 30th. Athletes thank coaches for developing in them such qualities as endurance, self-discipline and the development of volitional abilities. The merits of mentors in achieving cherished heights cannot be underestimated.

World Life Day

All those who are in one way or another connected with the development, testing and commissioning of a wide variety of mechanisms and devices are involved in this date. The holiday has quite deep historical roots - back in 1712, Peter I issued an order to create a new Engineering School. This school trained people with the desire and talent to work with mechanisms. The class of the students did not matter.

On this day, it is customary to hold various patriotic events and remember the glorious history. Of course, the names of leading Russian admirals appear. For example, Ushakov, Tolbukhin, Nakhimov, Lefort, Lazarev, Kuznetsov, Kruzenshtern, Golitsyn, Wrangel and other equally famous historical characters who did a lot to protect our national borders.

A person who is accustomed to eating a lot of sweets every day, when giving them up, like a drug addict, experiences withdrawal symptoms for 2-3 weeks.

Scientists and doctors are sounding the alarm, arguing that addiction to simple carbohydrates must be fought.

In the evening before the start of the Halloween celebration, one of the most colorful and vibrant events, various pranks are held, which sometimes border on vandalism. This time is usually called “Night of Pranks,” although children’s pranks cannot always be classified as harmless pranks.

On October 30, Christian believers honor the memory of the prophet Hosea. People believed that you should not wash on this day so as not to get sick. While the husbands were busy repairing the carts, the women baked buns and sprinkled them with poppy seeds. Among unmarried girls, it was customary to tell fortunes about the betrothed; for this, the girls rolled a wheel with the words of the sentence from the door to the gate of the house, and carried it back in their hands. If the wheel does not touch the ground, wait for a quick wedding.

Freethinking was punished especially harshly during Soviet times. Dissidents and other dissidents were ostracized, deprived of their freedom, sent to camps and psychiatric clinics, and expelled from the country without the right to return. The peak of political repression occurred during the reign of I.V. Stalin.
