The date of May 3 was chosen due to the fact that in 1991, in the capital of Namibia, Windhoek, representatives of the African press developed a Declaration in which they called on all countries to ensure the independence and freedom of the press for the democratic development of any country. This Declaration was supported by the UNESCO General Conference and then by the UN General Assembly.

On May 5th they celebrate their professional holiday, people in one of the most mysterious professions are cryptographers. The purpose of their activity is to hide information that should not be read by people who are not allowed to see this information. Although the cryptographic service in Russia existed for a very long time, the date of its foundation and the establishment of a professional holiday for cryptographers was set on May 5. In 1921, on May 5, the Cryptographic Service was established, which was supposed to provide closed communications to state and party bodies, military formations and foreign institutions.
Cryptography, or “secret writing” from Greek, appeared long before our era. Pharaohs and rulers of other states did not want to reveal their secrets to outsiders. Various mechanisms have been developed to hide information. But all these are quite primitive developments that can be deciphered fairly quickly. Although cryptographic science did not stand still and was constantly developing, both in the West and in Asia, ciphers were not widely used. They were mainly used by royalty. And the ciphers were simple mono-alphabetic substitution ciphers. Although amazing ciphers were developed that arouse the admiration of modern specialists.
May 6 is the day of remembrance of the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious. This is one of the most revered saints in Rus'. His image, in which he performs one of his miracles, is on the coat of arms of Russia.
Saint George was born in Cappadocia (modern Türkiye), into a family of pious Christians. But after his father was killed, he and his mother flee to Palestine. Here Saint George receives his education and enters the military service. Bravery and bravery immediately distinguish St. George, and he quickly moves up the career ladder and becomes a close associate of Emperor Diocletian himself. But Diocletian is distinguished by his brutal persecution of Christians. Feeling that he cannot continue his double life, Saint George comes to Diocletian and confesses his faith in Christ. After Saint George was subjected to monstrous torture, but did not renounce his faith, on May 6, 303, the head of the holy great martyr was cut off.
On May 7, all signalmen in Russia celebrate their professional holiday - Radio Day. There are still debates about who invented the radio - the Italian Marconi or the Russian Popov. But we are patriots, so we give the palm in creating radio to Alexander Stepanovich Popov.
May 7, 1895 A.S. Popov, at a meeting of the physics department of the Russian Physical-Chemical Society in St. Petersburg, demonstrated to his colleagues a wireless radio system with which it was possible to exchange signals.
The first solemn celebration of Radio Day took place only in 1925. Until this day, various circumstances prevented the celebration of the holiday - the Russian-Japanese won, the First World War, the Civil War. And only in 1925 did a situation arise in which it was possible to celebrate Radio Day. The main events took place at the Leningrad Electrotechnical Institute (LETI), where A.S. Popov worked all his life. The celebrations took place on a grand scale. Several ceremonial events were held, radio stations and laboratories were named after Popov, even stamps were issued. Further anniversaries took place on an equally large scale.
With the development of digital technologies, radio communications received new content - cellular communications, wireless Internet, digital television, satellite communications, and many more applications were found for the good old radio.

May 8 - International Red Cross and Red Crescent Day
May 8th is International Red Cross and Red Crescent Day. This date was chosen in honor of the Swiss physician and humanist Henri Dunant, who was born on this day in 1828, and thanks to whose efforts this humanitarian organization was created.
What prompted Dunant to create an organization to help wounded soldiers was the events that he became an involuntary witness. While heading to Northern Italy, Dunant witnessed the Battle of Solferino, fought between the Austrians and the Italo-French forces. Total losses in the battle amounted to about forty thousand people killed and wounded. But what shocked him most was that at the end of the battle, the wounded were not given any help. They were simply taken to a small village and left there.
9th May. Victory Day. A tragic and bright holiday not only among Russians, but also in all countries that were once union republics. On May 9, 1945, the most difficult test in Russian history ended. Huge loss of life, a destroyed economy, a shortage of everything. And yet, for people of that generation, it was the most joyful holiday. Because peace has come, and now there will be no need to sharpen shells and assemble tanks, but it will be necessary to sow grain and calmly raise children, without fear of another bombing. We will have to go back to study at schools and institutes, build houses and factories.
Over the years, the tragedy and severity of those years subside. Every year there are fewer veterans who could tell the truth about those harsh days. But it is our sacred duty to preserve and pass on to future generations the holy memory of the most difficult years of the Great Patriotic War and the price that was paid for VICTORY!

Often forums, exhibitions, fairs and round tables, dedicated to the problems of development and operation of small and medium-sized businesses. Entrepreneurship Day has now become an inevitable historical development of our country with a certain chosen political course. Currently, it’s not a shame to realize, but dependence on financial resources in any industry (even non-commercial) is one of the key problems. The tasks and resources of entrepreneurship are inextricably linked with the goal of ensuring the priority needs of society and healthy production as a whole of the entire country, aimed at maintaining and existing a competitive, highly intelligent business.

May 27 All-Russian Library Day (Librarian's Day)
One of the May holidays, namely May 27, was established by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin No. 539 of May 27, 1995 as “All-Russian Library Day.” May 27 is also Librarian's Day. Librarian's Day was designated to coincide with the opening of the first public library in Rus'. (May 27, 1975) At that time, the public library fund was the personal library of the Russian Emperor. At the moment, information has been preserved about the first library in Rus' created by Yaroslav the Wise in 1037 at the St. Sophia Cathedral in Kyiv. Today, unfortunately for libraries, the popularization and popularity of libraries is falling. This is due to the development of new technologies (mass media, Internet, electronic publications) and alternative sources obtaining information. With such dynamics of technology development, assumptions are made about the role of libraries in the future only as historical information objects. Libraries will be a kind of museum of books and a reflection of society’s attitude towards knowledge, art and human experience collected in real books for certain period time, and the exclusively informational role in the future apparently remains with electronic networks.

May 28 - Border Guard Day
The first who, in the event of a threat to the country, will contain the blow and on weekdays stand guard over the borders of our homeland are the border troops.

In the same year, the Main Border Guard Directorate was established, to which the full complement of officers from the former Directorate of the Separate Border Guard Corps of Russia transferred.

May 31 - World No Tobacco Day
Until now, our society is suffering from the worm of physical and moral decay associated with smoking tobacco. There is always an alternative, but many people think differently; in their opinion, the harm from smoking has not yet been proven, but the disadvantages for non-smokers deprived of this “pleasure” in tobacco are obvious.
The World Health Organization declared May 31 as World No Tobacco Day in 1988. The world community was tasked with ensuring that the problem of tobacco smoking disappears in the 21st century. The 21st century has arrived, but the problem has not disappeared.
Last Sunday of May - Chemist's Day
Chemist's Day is not only one of the most famous and noisy holidays, but also has many traditions that each generation not only preserves, but also increases. For example, every year Chemist's Day is celebrated under the symbol of a new element of the periodic table, and the very first holiday was assigned number 1 - hydrogen.
Chemist's Day is a holiday that unites students, graduate students, teachers, and graduates of all generations. This day is always celebrated brightly and cheerfully. Graduates of chemical faculties are invariably in demand in science, industry, and business.
It is to chemists that women should be grateful for their active participation in the creation of unusual washing powders, new series of cosmetics and tear-resistant tights. It is to chemists that men should be grateful for the creation of new varieties of automobile oils with the smell of lemon, which captivates all women who do not suffer from a runny nose.
May 16 - The first Oscars ceremony took place.
The most famous and prestigious award in the world of cinema is the American Academy of Motion Pictures Award. Its presentation was conceived by the head of one of the most influential American film companies - MGM - Louis Mayer. And for the first time the award was presented on May 16, 1929 in Hollywood. For the first ten years, the award did not have any special name.
The award received its name - “Oscar” in 1939. Several people argue about the priority of the award's name, but we will not voice their versions. Since the first Oscars ceremony, it has always been broadcast by the media. First it was radio, now it's television. And many tens of millions of people watch the ceremony.
Spring and Labor Festival is the name of the holiday celebrated on May 1st. In the Soviet Union, this day had a different name - Workers' Solidarity Day. Times change, and so do the names of holidays.
Workers' Solidarity Day was established at the Second Congress of the International, held in Paris in 1889. And it was established in honor of the Chicago workers who demonstrated on May 1, 1886, demanding only an eight-hour working day. Unfortunately, the authorities responded with a brutal and bloody crackdown on the demonstration. At the Congress of the International, in memory of these bloody events, it was decided to hold annual demonstrations with economic demands. And already on next year, in 1890, a wave of workers' demonstrations swept across Europe and America, as a sign of solidarity among all workers of the world.
In modern Russia, the holiday has lost its political connotation. It's more of an outdoor exercise than a demonstration. In other countries, May 1 remains the day of workers' struggle for their rights, and it is celebrated in more than sixty countries.

Holidays in May
The fifth month of the year - the harbinger of the onset of summer - is rich in holidays, significant and important events both in the history of our Fatherland and the entire planet. Their number reaches almost five dozen, among which we will try to navigate.
May 1 is called differently around the world. Since 1992, it has been declared as the Spring and Labor Festival. Other countries celebrate it as International Workers' Day and associate it with an event far removed from us - the 1886 movement of Chicago workers for the establishment of an eight-hour working day in the United States. About eighty thousand representatives of the proletariat took part in the solidarity action. In memory of this, the Socialist Congress in Paris, held in 1889, initiated International Workers' Day. In the USSR, the holiday was celebrated on a grand scale - with colorful mass demonstrations, May Days, rallies and the like. And now all this is taking place. But Russians are most willing to spend spring holiday at their dachas, preparing the land for a new harvest, and having worked actively on the beds and acres, they don’t mind trying barbecue in the heat and heat, beer, or even something stronger.
But on May 3, International Sun Day comes to us. Its average distance from the Earth exceeds 149 million kilometers - depending on where the star is located in its orbit of rotation. But it is to him that we owe our existence. That is why the European Solar Energy Society (ESES) established this wonderful holiday. The possibilities of the star closest to us are endless. It gives us light, and therefore life itself, and can, with the power of its solar wind, rapidly move spacecraft around the Universe. People even thought of solar panels, placed on the roofs, and lighting diode and other light bulbs in our houses, heating water and creating other conveniences for us.
May 9 is a special date in the history of mankind. It is associated with the final defeat of fascism in the Second World War of 1941-1945, which we call the Great Patriotic War. The Nazis took more than 52 million human lives to the next world, including Germany itself. They literally ruined the economies of many countries. But on May 8, 1945, they surrendered to the mercy of the victors. On this historic day near Berlin, German Field Marshal General W. Keitel, Marshal of the USSR Georgy Zhukov and Air Marshal of the Kingdom of Great Britain A. Tedder signed the act of unconditional surrender of Germany, which suffered a crushing defeat in the war that they started in accordance with their hellish plan Barbarossa. On June 24, 1945, a grand Victory Parade took place in Moscow on Red Square. Fascist banners were thrown at the foot of the Mausoleum. May 9 is still widely celebrated throughout the world.
On May 13, the Russian Federation widely celebrates the Day of its Black Sea Fleet. The holiday was established in 1996. In general, one of the world’s most powerful fleets is more than three hundred years old! We remember the names of Fyodor Ushakov, Pyotr Nakhimov, Mikhail Lazarev and other compatriots-military leaders who recorded the great victories of sailors under their leadership in the naval battles of the Russian-Turkish and Crimean wars. The Black Sea people distinguished themselves with valor both in the First World War and the Great Patriotic War. The holiday is also associated with another memorable event - it was on May 13, but far from us in 1783, that the Azov flotilla of eleven of our ships entered Akhtiarsky Bay. Now this bay is called Sevastopol.
May 15 is International Family Day. This holiday was established in 1993 by the General Assembly of the United Nations. It is also widely celebrated here in Russia. The family is the primary unit of any society. Her task is to give birth and educate the future of the planet, children. In Russia, they try to surround families with warmth and care. It is actively used to improve demographics maternal capital. In the coming years, the problem of kindergartens must be completely resolved. General education schools, colleges, institutes, universities and other educational institutions are designed to ensure that Russian children grow up educated, well prepared for adult life, and then acquired their own offspring.
On May 20, our country celebrates an absolutely amazing holiday - Volga Day. She is vividly sung by our wonderful Lyudmila Zykina. This truly national song is performed with pleasure all over the world and in different languages. And the holiday was initiated by the International Social-Ecological Union, the Moscow representative office of the UNESCO Bureau and the commercial company "Coca-Cola, HBC Eurasia".
May 24 is HR Day. This profession is very important for the national economy. Almost every reputable production facility has a human resources department. He forms a team, that is, he selects and places personnel, works to improve their qualifications, and organizes the exchange of experience.
May 27 is All-Russian Library Day. Established by the President Russian Federation and is timed to coincide with the creation of the first State public library in Russia in 1795, which also bore the name of the Imperial Public Library, and now received the status of National. Books are a source of knowledge, a keeper of invaluable information on the history of human development. Today they also exist in electronic versions. Recently, the desire to read books has increased markedly. Personal home libraries are also being replenished. The USSR was the most reading country in the world! Now this trend is becoming more and more clear in Russia.
And finally, May 31st is World No Tobacco Day. This event is very relevant. After all, more than three hundred thousand people die from smoking every year in the world, and there is a tendency towards even more tall. Almost one hundred percent of the cause of lung cancer is smoking. Two packs of cigarettes are quite enough to send a person to the next world. The only saving grace is that there are breaks in smoking. And if one after another, the end will certainly be sad. Passive smoking is also harmful. This is when some smoke, while others who do not smoke are forced to inhale smoke. Myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, coronary heart disease - all this is the result bad habit. And the sooner a person finishes it, the sooner he will be in good health and live a long time!

Advice: Dedicate a literary party to such an important and, of course, amazing event, where participants should be asked to compose an ode... to a folding umbrella. It is best to start composing an ode with a blank: “Oh, FOLDING UMBRELLA, you are the beginning of the beginning, You give love, drive away sadness...”.
Next, all participants take turns composing two lines to the proposed beginning. Those who cannot come up with the next couplet give away forfeits, which are played out at the end of the evening. The winner of the literary tournament is given a real folding umbrella with all kinds of honors.

You need to prepare for such a party: notify all those invited to the holiday in advance so that they prepare small entertainment programs who plan to present on Radio Romashka, as well as pseudonyms for the presenters.
