Russian events March 12, 2019

Day of workers of the penal system of the Ministry of Justice of Russia

Every year on March 12, Russia celebrates this professional holiday. The date for the establishment of the celebration was chosen because on March 12, 1879, Russian Emperor Alexander II issued a Decree. This decree spoke about the creation of the beginning of the prison department, which marked the beginning of the organization of a unified state system execution of punishments in Russia. But in fact, the beginning of the provision of punishments in the Russian state for murder, theft or theft is attributed to the 10th-15th centuries.

Particularly severe punishments were applied to thieves. Any person could kill a thief if he caught him at the crime scene. In 1497 and 1950, the Code of Laws were one of the first legislative acts in the existence of the punishment policy of the Russian centralized state. The documents tell us that the punishments became more and more frightening and cruel, and the system of fines was replaced death penalty. For many years, the penal system was under the control of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

But since there was then a reform of the state system and a transition to democratic forms of government, the documents showed the transition of the penal system to the department of the Ministry of Justice. On October 8, 1997, the President of Russia issued a decree “on the formation of the penal system of the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation.” Today the number of employees is more than 300 thousand people.

What holidays are celebrated around the world on March 12, 2019

Arbor Day in China

This spring festival is celebrated every year in China and Taiwan. On March 12, the day of the death of the outstanding revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, every year, green spaces are planted in countries. Sun Yat-sen once took the initiative of mass tree planting. Today, the leaders of the party and state are personally participating.

At the fourth session of the Fifth National People's Congress of China in 1981, the government adopted a Resolution to conduct a nationwide voluntary tree planting campaign. The resolution also states that every capable citizen of the country from 11 to 60 years of age must plant and grow from three to five trees per year. And if for some reason it was not possible to plant a tree, then it is necessary to perform work of an equivalent volume - cultivation, sowing, weeding, and so on.

This initiative of the country's leadership was immediately supported by the Chinese population. And despite the fact that not all residents take part in it, the scope itself is simply enormous. About 500 million Chinese take part in the events every year. So since 2008, about 50 billion seedlings have been planted in the country.

Prokop Perezimny, Road Destroyer

On such a day, people remember Procopius Decapolite, who was a confessor and lived in the 8th century. As a rule, real spring came to Prokop and the snow melted. Winter roads no longer existed. The people also said: Prokop Zimny will dig a road, but Prokop Perezimny will destroy it.

So, before leaving the yard, people had to listen to the road to see if it was reliable. You also had to listen to the drops: if they were heavy, then it was better not to go on a long journey just yet. But if the drops were good, then you could go into the forest and hunt a hare. By the way, hunters also had their own signs. For example, if a hare crosses the road, it means bad luck.

And if the dog does the same, then there will be no food. But there was no need to expect great success either. The ancestors also watched the willow on such a day. If the willow buds began to bloom from the top of the head, then you can start sowing earlier. But if the tree is fluffy at the top, then there is no need to rush yet; a second sowing will be good. The peasants were also waiting for snowdrops. As soon as the flowers appeared, it meant it was time to start hunting.

On March 12, 1879, in Russia, Alexander II established a law on the organization of the prison department.

From 1997 to 1998, President Boris Yeltsin adopted a number of laws that were able to complete the stage of complete transition. Currently, the number of employees of the penal system in the Russian Federation has exceeded 300,000 people. The purpose of the system is to prevent any criminal attacks, as well as to promote the correction and return to a full-fledged society of citizens who have violated the law.

March 12 in the folk calendar

Prokop-Road Destroyer, Prokop-Perezimniy

On March 12, people honor the memory of Saint Procopius Decapolite, who lived in the eighth century and was a confessor.

On Procopius, as peasants in Rus' noticed, spring completely takes the reins into its own hands - the frosts recede, the roads begin to be free of snow. People gossiped about this: “The snow lay and lay on Prokop-Perezimny, and then ran away into the river.” Before leaving the yard, people carefully checked the road to see if it was strong. They also listened to the drops. It was believed that if it was abundant, it meant it was unsafe to go on a long journey. But when there was little rain, men went into the forest and hunted animals. By the way, hunters on this day had their own signs. For example, if a hare crosses the road along the way, this is not good. If a dog crosses the road ahead, the hunt will be unsuccessful.

The peasants also observed the willow tree. The blossoming of her buds from the top of her head indicated that the harvest should be sown earlier this year. We also looked forward to the blossoming of snowdrops: as soon as they appear, plowing can begin.

Historical events of March 12

The tutu is a fluffy multi-layered light ballet dress. The “debut” show of the outfit took place at the premiere of the ballet La Sylphide, which took place on the stage of the Royal Academy. The first pack was made according to a sketch by the then famous fashion designer Eugene Lamy. It is only natural that ballet attire has changed shape and style many times over the years. At the end of the 19th century, the tutu of the artist Anna Pavlova was very different from the modern one. Anna loved to improvise with outfits and decorate dresses with various accessories. In addition, the dress had a longer shape than it does now.

March 12, 1904– The first electric trains, more simply called electric trains, were launched in Great Britain. An electric train is a type of public transport that receives energy for movement from an external contact network through current collectors. As you know, electric trains are widely used in major cities and, unlike other modes of transport, do not affect the environment. In Russia, the first electric trains appeared a little later - in 1926.

Since the beginning of the 14th century, the residence of the Moscow princes was located in long-suffering Moscow, the capital of Russia. However, in the 18th century the capital was moved to St. Petersburg, which did not prevent rulers from continuing to be crowned in Moscow. In 1812, the city fell under the onslaught of a strong flame, and it took a lot of time to completely restore it. For protection, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior was built. The status of the capital returned to Moscow shortly after the October Revolution, according to the resolution of the Fourth All-Russian Congress of Soviets.

The island of Mauritius, located in the vast Indian Ocean, gained independence from England in 1968, while remaining a “member” of the British Commonwealth. Twenty-four years later, the island of Mauritius declared itself a republic.

The discovery of the island belongs to the Portuguese. It was they who first set foot on its lands at the beginning of the 16th century. Since then he has wandered from hand to hand. At first Mauritius belonged to the Dutch, then to the French. And later - to the British. Today, about a million people live in the republic, the main population being Indians and Africans. The economy of Mauritius is based mainly on the cultivation of sugar cane. Banking, offshore and tourism businesses are also thriving here. On this moment the island is one of the most prosperous countries on the African continent.
