Composers' anniversaries in the year by month. Birthdays and anniversaries of winter

Humanity cannot live without holidays; if the calendar is empty, it means there is an urgent need to come up with something. Perhaps this is why Russians celebrate “Bastille Day,” which has nothing to do with the country.

On the other hand, on any day of the year you can find a memorable date or significant event for Russia to justify a feast or congratulate the hero of the day. Memorable dates have special historical, political, social, cultural significance for a particular state, and are sometimes enshrined in regulatory documents.

This material tells a story about important dates and events for Russia that will be solemnly celebrated in 2018.

Anniversaries of 2018 in the field of world culture

Many people remember the birthdays of their favorite writers, actors and artists; the activities of many of them are important not only for the country where they were born and worked, but also for all humanity.

If you flip through the pages of the 2018 calendar, you can find many anniversaries.

On January 6, one of the great Italian actors Adriano Celentano will celebrate his 80th birthday, and Vladimir Vysotsky will be the same age (January 25).

On February 8, Russians and residents of post-Soviet republics will remember the famous Stirlitz, actor Vyacheslav Tikhonov, who, unfortunately, did not live to see his 90th birthday.

But on March 20, all fans of the presenter and actress Ekaterina Strizhenova will be able to give her gifts and say kind words in connection with the half-century anniversary. In March, the country will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Russian “petrel”, writer Maxim Gorky.

In April, the famous songwriter Ilya Reznik celebrates his 80th birthday, and fans of his talent, it seems, will be in for a big concert. On May 5, communists of the world will celebrate an important date - the 200th anniversary of the birth of the author of Capital, Karl Marx.

Summer will bring with it several important anniversaries: on June 13, director Sergei Bodrov Sr. will celebrate his 70th birthday, and on August 16, singer Madonna will celebrate 60 years since her birth.

Autumn is the time to sum up the musician Ilya Lagutenko on the occasion of his 50th birthday. Unfortunately, actress Natalya Krachkovskaya passed away in 2016, two years short of her 80th birthday.

Among the “very” round dates at the end of 2018, we can note the anniversary of the writer Ivan Turgenev (the same age as K. Marx) and the 100th anniversary of Anatoly Tarasov, one of the most famous Russian hockey coaches. Fans of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s talent will celebrate the same anniversary.

Important historical dates

The Russian calendar is filled with important events, some of which will be “round” in 2018. It is to them that the attention of representatives of the official authorities will be drawn, and therefore Russians can expect holidays, festivals, and concerts.

On February 2, the whole country will celebrate an important date that played a role in World War II - 75 years ago, Nazi Germany suffered a crushing defeat at Stalingrad.

On February 23, we should prepare for Defender of the Fatherland Day with increased attention, since the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Red Army will be celebrated. Another 100th anniversary related to military topics falls on November 11, it will be celebrated not only in Russia, but also in many European countries.

It was on this day that the First World War ended, which claimed millions of lives of soldiers, officers and civilians.

It is interesting that the renaming of the Russian police into the police made it possible to introduce a new holiday in the country; now employees of this department should celebrate their professional celebration not in November, but on May 6.

Moreover, next year there will be a glorious date - the 300th anniversary of the formation of the police department in the Russian Empire. Among the summer military events worthy of attention is the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Prokhorovka.

Important events of the next year

One of the most important events of 2018 is the FIFA World Cup. Russian athletes have not yet shown themselves very well in this sport, but fans hope that, according to the saying, “houses and walls help.”

From June 14, the whole country (and the whole planet) will be glued to TV and computer screens, and the happiest will go to the stands of the Nizhny Novgorod stadium to see the best game in the world and amazing goals.

A month later, on July 15, the championship final will take place in Moscow, and the closing ceremony of the football festival will also take place here.

In 2018, some Russian cities will also celebrate milestones, for example, the first residents of Amursk appeared in these places 60 years ago, the town of Solvychegorsk will celebrate a beautiful anniversary - 525 years since its formation. Large-scale celebrations await Novokuznetsk, which will turn 400 years old next year.

In 2018, you can also find specific literary celebrations dedicated to individual works of genius. Fyodor Dostoevsky’s novel “The Idiot” will be 150 years old, J. Verne’s “The Children of Captain Grant” will celebrate the same number of years, and even more – 200 years will be celebrated by the poem “Charles Harold’s Pilgrimage” by the immortal pen of George Byron.

As can be seen from this short list, a huge number of anniversaries, memorable dates and significant events are expected. If this is not enough for Russians, then you can look at the holiday calendar of your neighbors; they will be happy to share the joy with their friends.

Every year in the Russian Federation a number of holidays are celebrated that in some way influenced the formation of our culture. These days, every citizen of our country remembers the significant events that shaped the appearance of the state as it is now.

Everyone knows that a large number of world-famous writers, writers, poets and other cultural figures were born on the territory of Russia, who directly influenced the formation of the worldview of all mankind. Thanks to their talent, such people became real idols of entire generations and forever went down in history as unique bearers of original ideas.

In order to honor the memory of the best representatives of our people, our country annually compiles a list of anniversary dates for which ceremonial events are planned. Thus, every iconic person receives the recognition they deserve on their birthday.

What do anniversaries and memorable dates mean?

In order to speak affirmatively about the significance of any date, you first need to understand why it is called that way. It is necessary to understand the difference between anniversaries, . Many people classify all these events under the general category of holidays, although each such event carries its own idea.

Anniversary days in the generally accepted concept and application in practice often differ from the classical formulation of this term. As a rule, when talking about some event or a specific person, everyone considers the calendar date and the time periods associated with it, while a round date is usually considered an anniversary.

The formulation of the definition of a memorable date is more understandable to the common man. Such days are those time periods that had a direct impact on the history of the country, or made significant changes in the cultural, political and social life of the state.

Domestic and foreign anniversaries in 2018

The world-famous cultural figures we will honor in 2018 created their creations in different periods of time and on different continents. However, their masterpieces are appreciated and loved in all corners of the globe.

Domestic writers and poets

In winter, fans of the talent of outstanding personalities will celebrate the anniversaries of several Russian cultural figures. February 25 will mark eighty years since the birth of the most famous Soviet singer and composer Vladimir Vysotsky.

The master of rhyme, on whose songs entire generations of our citizens grew up, is known for hundreds of masterpiece creations that have not lost their relevance to this day. On this day, fans of the genius will be able to visit the grave of their idol and take part in the opening of a new exhibition of the creator’s works in the Vysotsky House.

On January 3, 2018, fans of high literary thought will celebrate the 115th anniversary of the famous writer Alexander Bek, who in his works managed to convey the unique flavor of Soviet reality. Admirers of the “master of the pen” will be able to pay tribute to the prose writer at a thematic meeting of cultural figures, which will take place early in the new year.

The spring and summer of 2018 will be an equally busy period in the cultural life of Russian society. March 16, 2018 will mark the 150th anniversary of Maxim Gorky, one of the most iconic personalities of the early twentieth century.

By this day, it is planned to open a unique museum dedicated to the life and work of the world famous writer. In July, fans of the literary genre will celebrate the anniversaries of N. Chernyshevsky and V. Korolenko, thanks to whose creations national culture received a new impetus for development.

In the autumn period, one of the most significant events in the cultural sphere of our state will take place. On November 11, the whole country will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of the most famous master of Russian literary art - Ivan Turgenev.

Celebrations dedicated to the memory of the brilliant creator are planned for this date in all cities. In addition, in November, the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation promises to publish a “Turgenev” encyclopedia, which promises to give new “breath” to the writer’s creative heritage.

Foreign artists

Our compatriots do not limit themselves to studying the cultural achievements of Russian writers and poets; they also love and honor the works of foreign writers.

In 2018, representatives of the cultural sphere will celebrate the birth dates of such artists as: D. G. Brown, Stendhal, Jules Verne, G. James, F. Kafka and G. Hoffmann. These are real “giants” of world literature, whose names are known to absolutely every person in our country, so the planned festive events will be held at the highest level.

Celebrating anniversaries of the birth of great personalities is an integral part of the national cultural tradition. At such events, the work of brilliant writers is remembered, the influence of their legacy on the development of society is studied, and the blessed memory of the creators is invariably honored.

2018 promises to be very eventful in the field of cultural relations. It will give many pleasant moments to those people for whom creativity occupies a very important place in life.
