Good afternoon, dear readers of Gazeta.Ru! In Russia, the main holiday of sailors is celebrated - the Day of the Navy. Celebrations are held in almost all port cities - from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok, but the main parade will traditionally be held in St. Petersburg.
"Gazeta.Ru" monitors the course of the holiday online - stay with us!
In Russia, the history of celebrations in honor of the fleet dates back to the time of Peter I. It was the first Russian emperor who came up with the idea to hold annual naval holidays with ship parades and gun salutes.
The very tradition of naval parades came from Europe. In 1698 in England, Peter I, who studied theoretical basis shipbuilding, for the first time saw a solemn ritual, when warships, adorned with flags, standing in the roadstead, bypassed the first Lord Admiral of the Fleet, and then he was met on the flagship to the sounds of a bugle and a brass band.
The very next year, 1699, on March 18, in the presence of the Turkish Sultan, Peter arranges the first semblance of a naval parade. The review of the forces of the newly created Azov Fleet was supposed to contribute to the establishment of diplomatic relations with Turkey and the signing of a peace treaty.
However, another 15 years were to pass before the first real naval parade. During this time, Russia managed to enter the war with Sweden, strengthen its positions in the north-west and win several major naval victories in the waters of the Baltic Sea, the most significant of which - the victory at Cape Gangut - is still the Day of Russia's military glory.
On July 27 (August 7, according to a new style), 1714, during the Northern War, the Russian fleet won a victory at Gangut, which became the first in Russian history naval victory of the Russian fleet. This event was the occasion for the first real naval parade. How the celebration of this victory took place can be seen on the engravings by A.F. Zubov and P. Pikart.
On the morning of September 9, 1714, Russian and captured Swedish ships with St. Andrew's flags raised high appeared before the numerous spectators who had gathered that day on the banks of the Neva. The parade formation was crowned by three Russian galleys.
Then the Swedish pram "Elephant", the galleys "Ern", "Tranan", "Gripen", "Laksen", "Geden" and "Walfish", the skerryboats "Flundran", "Mootan" and "Simpan" entered the Neva, and after among them is the Russian flagship galley of the ship's rear admiral, on board of which, as during the battle, was Peter himself, and several more ships with Russian sailors.
The ships were moored at Trinity Square in the order in which they followed during the Gangut battle. On the square along the Neva, bounded parallel to the long building of the Gostiny Dvor, the construction of Russian troops and captured Swedes took place. Then began a solemn procession through the city, which was attended by 200 captured Swedish soldiers, sailors and 14 officers, as well as two companies of Preobrazhenians.
Following, four Russian non-commissioned officers carried the low unfurled flag of the Swedish Rear Admiral. Then came Rear Admiral Ehrenskiöld himself, followed by Peter as Rear Admiral of the Naval Fleet and Colonel of the Preobrazhensky Regiment.
The people enthusiastically greeted the winners. Flags were flying everywhere. There was a board with pictures on the shore, on one the eagle, symbolizing Russia, attacked the elephant - "Elephant". The picture was accompanied by the inscription: "The eagle does not catch flies." Solemn salute was given three times - simultaneously from the Admiralty, St. Petersburg fortresses and from the commander's galley. The celebration continued for several days.
In his decree, Peter I ordered to celebrate the day of the Gangut victory every year on July 27 with solemn services, naval parades and fireworks. This day has become a kind of holiday for the Navy along with the anniversaries of the Battle of Poltava in 1709 (the main victory of the Russian army in the Northern War), the victory at Lesnaya in 1708 and the capture of the Oreshek fortress in 1702 (the first victory in the Northern War). Subsequently, the naval victory at Grengam was added to them, also won on the day of St. Panteleimon on July 27, 1720. The Treaty of Nystad, which ended the Great Northern War (1700–1721), was concluded on August 30 (old style), 1721. On the occasion of this event, people in St. Petersburg walked along the streets and rode on the water on barges and ropes.
In Moscow, where the festival took place in December, the masquerade procession consisted of many boats of various sizes and shapes put on skids. Under the leadership of Peter himself, who commanded the flagship, the procession with music and cannon fire moved through the streets of the capital and, passing through the Kremlin, saluted Peter's boat "St. paintings. The solemn display of the little boat clearly indicated that such honor was given to him for the important merits brought by his valiant offspring.
In 1723, on the second anniversary of the Treaty of Nystad, the meeting of the boat on the day of the fleet becomes a tradition. By decision of the tsar, the "grandfather of the Russian fleet" was brought to St. Petersburg from Moscow. He was solemnly welcomed on May 30, 1723 on the Neva at the walls of the Alexander Nevsky Monastery by the Nevsky Fleet - a flotilla of private ships in St. Petersburg. Accompanied by them, the boat moved to the Peter and Paul Fortress, which saluted him with 31 shots. As a sign of greeting, three volleys were also fired from the side of the boat.
The first meeting of the boat with warships of the Baltic Fleet took place on August 11, 1723, and the parade of ships took place on the Kronstadt roadstead. The ships, decorated with signal flags and lined up, saluted the boat that was walking along the line, driven by Peter I himself in the role of quartermaster and under the name of Admiral Pyotr Mikhailov. Behind the oars were Vice Admirals Peter Ivanovich Sievers and Thomas Gordon, Rear Admirals Naum Akimovich Senyavin and Thomas Sanders.
Vice Admiral Alexander Danilovich Menshikov acted as a lot commander. Feidzechmeister of the Fleet (Chief Artilleryman) Otto Christian was a gunner. The boat was commanded by 62-year-old Admiral General Fedor Matveyevich Apraksin, a participant in the Azov campaign, the capture of Vyborg and the Gangut battle. Towed by boats from the flagship of the fleet, the small boat solemnly passed along the line of 21 battleships and other ships. More than 1.5 thousand guns saluted him. Botik responded with shots from his cannons.
After this grandiose naval parade, Peter I ordered: “On the 30th of August, for celebration, bring the boat to the water everywhere and have it at the Alexander Nevsky Monastery.” However, after the death of the emperor, the tradition ceased to be respected, and the practice of naval parades became irregular.
Isolated cases of naval parades are noted by historians at the turn of the XVIII-XIX and in early XIX century.
Under Catherine II in 1796, the parade took place on the occasion of the dispatch of the squadron of Admiral G.A. Spiridov to the Mediterranean Sea for the war with Turkey, and during the reign of Alexander I, the highest review of the squadron of Admiral D.N. Senyavin.
On the occasion of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of St. Petersburg on May 16, 1803, a meeting was held for the "grandfather of the Russian fleet", which was placed on board the waist of the 110-gun ship "Gavriil", which stood on the Neva near Senate Square. The honorary guards of the boat were four hundred-year-old sailors of the Petrine era.
In 1828, a similar review of the squadron of the same admiral D.N. Senyavin, with the participation of a boat, was conducted by Nicholas I. The boat was last shown to the fleet at a naval parade in 1836. Then the boat was installed on the Hercules steamer. All the ships of the Baltic Fleet were lined up under the flag of 84-year-old Admiral Roman Kroun on the Kronstadt roadstead in three lines, and at the signal of the emperor, the Hercules with a boat on the deck passed, accepting honors, between the lines of ships. Foreign vessels also took part in the parade then.
In the middle of the 19th century, the tradition of the time of Peter I was revived. Ship parades and gun salutes began on 27 July. IN late XIX century, during the reign Alexander III and Nicholas II, the number of the highest reviews and naval parades again decreased.
The last major naval parade in the era of imperial Russia was the celebration of the 200th anniversary of St. Petersburg in 1903. Ship reviews were also practiced during visits to Russia by foreign high-ranking persons, but there was no need to talk about the constancy or traditional nature of such events.
The tradition of holding naval parades returns after the 1917 revolution. The leadership of the young Soviet Republic made the review of ships a regular event on the revolutionary holidays of May 1 and November 7.
Since 1920, at the suggestion of the Headquarters naval forces The Baltic Sea on the nearest day off to May 18 in Petrograd began to celebrate the Day of the Red Fleet. On this day (May 7, old style) in 1703, the Russian regular fleet won the first victory in the Baltic, capturing the Swedish Gedan boat and Astrild shnyava. Subsequently, this day began to be considered the day of the emergence of the Baltic Fleet.
In the 1920s, parades of ships of the Baltic Fleet and water sports festivals were held on the Neva. The facades of the buildings were decorated with state and maritime symbols, coloring flags. The sailors marched solemnly to the sounds of an orchestra along Uritsky Square (Palace Square). Then a sports festival was held on the square, and the Red Navy demonstrated their strength and dexterity. The culmination of the sports festival was a tug-of-war competition. The leadership of the young Soviet Republic made the review of ships a regular event on the revolutionary holidays of May 1 and November 7. However, the Day of the Red Fleet was celebrated only for several years in a row and gradually faded away.
In the USSR, the holiday was first celebrated as Navy Day on July 24, 1939. Already after the Great Patriotic War, naval parades began to be organized again as part of the main naval holiday. By the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 1, 1980 "On holidays and memorable days", the date of the celebration of the Navy Day was postponed to the last Sunday of July.
From the first years, after the official introduction, the Day of the Navy has been a review of the achievements of the domestic military shipbuilding, the successes of the Navy personnel in combat training.
On July 29, warships will pass along the Neva and the St. Petersburg fairway (Kronstadt). At the end of the naval parade, the holiday will continue on Palace Square, and the fireworks will complete the day.

The Day of the Navy, despite the fact that it is considered a professional holiday for sailors, is celebrated with pleasure by all residents of Russia. And 2018 will be no exception. Already on July 29, large-scale parades and concerts dedicated to the Navy Day will be held in all port cities of the country, to which everyone is invited. The main celebration, as usual, will take place in the main port of the Russian Federation - St. Petersburg.
It is worth noting that in Russia there are a lot of professional holidays and almost every day the inhabitants of the country celebrate something. But among all the inhabitants, it is unlikely that there will be at least a thousand who will immediately say when the Day of the Border Guard or the Nuclear Physicist is celebrated, because these are ordinary days on the calendar that are designed to express respect for a particular profession. But everyone undoubtedly knows about Navy Day, because this is not just a holiday for a certain circle of people, in Russia it is an occasion to arrange mass celebrations in which all residents take part with pleasure.
Navy Day is far from being a purely Russian holiday and its history goes back to the distant times of the USSR, namely the year the Second World War began. In 1939, the government had certain problems with the recruitment of employees in the naval forces. No one wanted to get involved in such a difficult and dangerous profession.
In order to put the sailors in the best light and add honor to this service in the eyes of the population, the Soviet naval commander Nikolai Kuznetsov suggested that the authorities introduce another holiday that would help raise the level of naval service in the eyes of the people. This idea was immediately accepted, and the holiday was decided to be celebrated on July 24th.
Later, it was decided to move the holiday to the last weekend of July, because the fixed date suggested that the celebration would fall too often on a weekday and this interfered with the celebration too much. And already in 2006, after the collapse of the USSR, the holiday was officially approved in Russia. It is worth noting that despite the fact that 79 years have passed since the founding of the holiday, traditions have not changed much and now, like many years ago, magnificent parades and concerts are held, which attract the best representatives of the Russian stage.
