February 23

As you known recently we had 3-days holidays, so today I would like to tell you what became the reason for celebration. February 23 is a holiday that observed in Russia called Defender of Fatherland Day.  Let’s go back in history and find out what is it, Defender of Fatherland Day?!  Like many Russian holidays Defender of Fatherland Day has its roots in the Soviet Union.  23 February was memorable event during the Russian Civil War when the Red Army started successful campaign for control of the country after the revolutions of 1917.

At the beginning Defender of Fatherland Day celebrate people who were involved in serving the Russian Armed Forced, however  eventually 23 February became the national celebration of men as a whole.

The “population” of Orbitscripts includes in generally more men than women, so we, orbit-girls, have faced the problem of how to make really great holiday for our defenders. Finally, we have found creative ideas how we could celebrate this unusual holiday.  Every men is like a child, and I know that our girls-readers will agree with us, so we’ve decided that we’ll make time traveling to the past when they were little boys. We have spent a lot of time laughing and just enjoying being together as we’re one team.

The next holiday will be International Women’s day on March 8, and we’re excitingly waiting for that day.
