It was first celebrated in Russia on the last Sunday of February 1913, in conjunction with the peace movement on the eve of the First World War.
Women’s Day is has its roots in the (pre)revolution days. Many clubs and restaurants celebrate this special day the evening before, so be sure to mark your calendar and visit one. See them drinking champagne, while the first sunshine after many dark winter months warms their hearts and their relationships. Employers would be fools to forget to give gifts to their female staff. Beaming men wait with red roses at metro exits and happy couples linger about in the streets. It’s impossible to ignore the infectious spirit of this holiday. On 8 March, Russia celebrates International Women’s Day. One of Russia’s biggest public holidays, it is second only to New Year and Russians go all out to congratulate their women.
