The holiday is celebrated on the first Saturday of November and in 2010 falls on November 6th.
February 23 is Defender of the Fatherland Day.
Many consider February 23rd the only men's holiday. In the countries of the former USSR, on this date it is customary to congratulate the male half on Defender of the Fatherland Day.
The holiday on February 23 was officially declared in 1922 and named "Red Army Day". It is believed that on this day in 1918, the Red Guard units won their first victories near Pskov and Narva. In reality, the victories were doubtful, and Pskov and Narva were mentioned because they were the extreme points of German advance.
In 1933, Klim Voroshilov, one of the first Marshals of the Soviet Union, recalled in an article dedicated to the 15th anniversary of the Red Army:
“By the way, the timing of the celebration of the anniversary of the Red Army on February 23 is quite random and difficult to explain and does not coincide with historical dates.”
The myth of the “victory at Pskov and Narva” was formulated in 1938 by Joseph Stalin:
“...The day of repulse to the troops of German imperialism - February 23 - became the birthday of the young Red Army.”
In the USSR, February 23 was called a national holiday - "Day of the Soviet Army and Navy". After the collapse of the USSR on February 23, it was renamed "Defender of the Fatherland Day".
On this day, in addition to the military, it is customary to congratulate all men on the holiday of the defender of not only the homeland, but also their loved ones.

Ecuadorian authorities have denied Julian Assange asylum at the London embassy. The founder of WikiLeaks was detained by British police, and this has already been called the biggest betrayal in the history of Ecuador. Why are they taking revenge on Assange and what awaits him?
Australian programmer and journalist Julian Assange became widely known after the website WikiLeaks, which he founded, published secret documents from the US State Department in 2010, as well as materials related to military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But it was quite difficult to find out who the police, supporting by the arms, were leading out of the building. Assange had grown a beard and looked nothing like the energetic man he had previously appeared in photographs.
According to Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, Assange was denied asylum due to his repeated violations of international conventions.
He is expected to remain in custody at a central London police station until he appears at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Why is the President of Ecuador accused of treason?
Former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa called the current government's decision the biggest betrayal in the country's history. “What he (Moreno - editor’s note) did is a crime that humanity will never forget,” Correa said.
London, on the contrary, thanked Moreno. The British Foreign Office believes that justice has triumphed. The representative of the Russian diplomatic department, Maria Zakharova, has a different opinion. “The hand of “democracy” is squeezing the throat of freedom,” she noted. The Kremlin expressed hope that the rights of the arrested person will be respected.
Ecuador sheltered Assange because the former president had left-of-center views, criticized U.S. policies and welcomed WikiLeaks' release of secret documents about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Even before the Internet activist needed asylum, he managed to personally meet Correa: he interviewed him for the Russia Today channel.
However, in 2017, the government in Ecuador changed, and the country set a course for rapprochement with the United States. The new president called Assange “a stone in his shoe” and immediately made it clear that his stay on the embassy premises would not be prolonged.
According to Correa, the moment of truth came at the end of June last year, when US Vice President Michael Pence arrived in Ecuador for a visit. Then everything was decided. “You have no doubt: Lenin is simply a hypocrite. He has already agreed with the Americans on the fate of Assange. And now he is trying to make us swallow the pill, saying that Ecuador is supposedly continuing the dialogue,” Correa said in an interview with the Russia Today channel.
How Assange made new enemies
The day before his arrest, WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristin Hrafnsson said that Assange was under total surveillance. “WikiLeaks uncovered a large-scale espionage operation against Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy,” he noted. According to him, cameras and voice recorders were placed around Assange, and the information received was transferred to the Donald Trump administration.
Hrafnsson clarified that Assange was going to be expelled from the embassy a week earlier. This did not happen only because WikiLeaks released this information. A high-ranking source told the portal about the plans of the Ecuadorian authorities, but the head of the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry, Jose Valencia, denied the rumors.
Assange's expulsion was preceded by the corruption scandal surrounding Moreno. In February, WikiLeaks published a package of INA Papers, which traced the operations of the offshore company INA Investment, founded by the brother of the Ecuadorian leader. Quito said it was a conspiracy between Assange and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and former Ecuadorian leader Rafael Correa to overthrow Moreno.
In early April, Moreno complained about Assange's behavior at Ecuador's London mission. “We must protect the life of Mr. Assange, but he has already crossed all boundaries in terms of violating the agreement that we came to with him,” the president said. “This does not mean that he cannot speak freely, but he cannot lie and hack.” ". At the same time, back in February last year it became known that Assange at the embassy was deprived of the opportunity to interact with the outside world, in particular, his Internet access was cut off.
Why Sweden stopped its prosecution of Assange
At the end of last year, Western media, citing sources, reported that Assange would be charged in the United States. This was never officially confirmed, but it was because of Washington’s position that Assange had to take refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy six years ago.
In May 2017, Sweden stopped investigating two rape cases in which the portal’s founder was accused. Assange demanded compensation from the country's government for legal costs in the amount of 900 thousand euros.
Earlier, in 2015, Swedish prosecutors also dropped three charges against him due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
Where did the investigation into the rape case lead?
Assange arrived in Sweden in the summer of 2010, hoping to receive protection from American authorities. But he was investigated for rape. In November 2010, a warrant was issued for his arrest in Stockholm, and Assange was put on the international wanted list. He was detained in London, but was soon released on bail of 240 thousand pounds.
In February 2011, a British court decided to extradite Assange to Sweden, after which a number of successful appeals followed for the WikiLeaks founder.
British authorities placed him under house arrest before deciding whether to extradite him to Sweden. Breaking his promise to the authorities, Assange asked for asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy, which was granted to him. Since then, the UK has had its own claims against the WikiLeaks founder.
What awaits Assange now?
The man was re-arrested on a US extradition request for publishing classified documents, police said. At the same time, Deputy Head of the British Foreign Ministry Alan Duncan said that Assange would not be sent to the United States if he faced the death penalty there.
In the UK, Assange is likely to appear in court on the afternoon of April 11. This is stated on the WikiLeaks Twitter page. British authorities are likely to seek a maximum sentence of 12 months, the man's mother said, citing his lawyer.
At the same time, Swedish prosecutors are considering reopening the rape investigation. Attorney Elizabeth Massey Fritz, who represented the victim, will seek this.
In the second month of autumn, the strong half of humanity celebrates two holidays at once. Moreover, the first president of the USSR, Mikhail Gorbachev, “had a hand” in one of them. But let's talk about everything in order...
International men's day
Celebrated annually on the first Saturday of November. In 2019 it falls on the 2nd. The initiator of the holiday was politician George John Kindell, a member of the Democratic Party in Colorado, USA. During one of his speeches at a meeting, he stated that male aggression is caused by testosterone acting on the brain. And in order to support the stronger sex in positive endeavors, he proposed awarding the “World Men’s Prize” to its deserving representatives. Only the man who learned “to direct activity in a different direction without resorting to violence” could receive it. This must be a man who has “proven fortitude and outstanding moral qualities, and has achieved success in the fields of politics, business, science, culture, and art.”
At the same time, Mikhail Gorbachev came up with an initiative - men should have a holiday regardless of whether they served in the army or not.
The Vienna Magistrate supported the initiatives of Gorbachev and Kindell. Since then, the UN and many other international organizations have celebrated World Men's Day, which they decided to celebrate on the first Saturday of November. And Gorbachev became president of World Men's Day.
The prize was awarded until 2006. It was a small bronze copy of Rodin's sculpture "The Thinker". Among those who received it were former Polish President Lech Walesa, Paul McCartney, Luciano Pavarotti, Michael Jackson, tycoons Ted Turner and Richard Branson, actors Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Alain Delon and even Pope John Paul II.
International Men's Day
Celebrated annually on November 19 in more than 60 countries around the world. A holiday has arrived from the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad and Tobago. The initiator was Dr. Jerome Teeluksingh from the University of the West Indies, who said that Father's Day and Defender of the Fatherland Day are good, but unfair.
But who will support boys and childless men? – Teeluksingh asked and suggested celebrating International Men’s Day on his dad’s birthday.
The doctor's idea was initially supported by representatives of several countries. Later - the UN and UNESCO. Gradually, the tradition of celebrating International Men's Day on November 19 has taken root almost all over the world.

What date is World Men's Day in 2021, 2022, 2023
| 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| 6 November Sat | 5 November Sat | 4 November Sat |
is an annual international holiday celebrated on November 19th. Men's Day was first celebrated in 1999 in Trinidad and Tobago. Subsequently, this holiday found support in Australia, the Caribbean, North America, Asia, Europe and the United Nations.
International Men's Day is intended to draw the world's attention to gender discrimination and the problem of gender inequality, as well as to highlight positive influence men for family and raising children.
The idea to celebrate International Men's Day dates back to the 1960s. At that time it was proposed to celebrate the holiday on February 23.
In the 1990s, in the United States, on the initiative of Professor Thomas Oaster, who directed the Center for Men's Studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas, various events were held annually in February to mark International Men's Day. In 1995, when very few people showed up for the holiday celebrations, Oaster stepped down from his role as organizer.
In 1999, it was decided to resume the celebration of Men's Day - this time in November. This month, according to one version, was chosen in connection with the annual November charity event Movember (from English words moustache and November - mustache and November or “mustached November”, “mustache”). This action takes place in a number of countries in November and is aimed at attracting public attention to the problem of male diseases. It is attended by men who do not touch their mustaches with a razor during the entire month of November. The goals of International Men's Day and the Movember campaign are largely similar.
According to the founders of International Men's Day, the holiday should draw public attention to the problems of discrimination against men in the field of health care, family law, education, media, etc., and show positive influence men and their achievements. The creators of the holiday emphasize that this day is not a competitor to International Women's Day, and was created to highlight men's problems.
In 2009, the goals of celebrating International Men's Day were approved:
- encouraging positive male role models, not only movie stars and athletes, but also ordinary people;
— focusing on men's health and social, emotional, physical, spiritual well-being;
— improving relations between the sexes and ensuring gender equality;
- creating a safer world in which people can safely develop to reach their full potential.
Every year the theme of the holiday is chosen. For example, in 2002 it was the theme of world peace, in 2003 it was man's health, in 2007 - “healing and forgiveness”, and in 2009 - the theme of the positive role of men.
