Day of textile and light industry workers. When is the day of the light industry worker celebrated in Russia

23.06.2019

Scenes from Valery Todorovsky's film "Dandies" very clearly demonstrated the state of light industry in the 50s of the last century. Dim identical fabrics, identical shoes, and only rare attempts to somehow decorate your life with the help of beautiful clothes. Now the situation has changed dramatically. Anyone can dress according to their taste and financial capabilities, and the merit of this is not only foreign manufacturers, but the workers of our domestic light industry. Not only large, but also many small enterprises are working to create beautiful, competitive products that customers would love to wear. As a recognition of the importance of their work in the life of society, in 2000, by order of the President, the Day of Light Industry Workers was established, which is celebrated on the second Sunday of June.

Each person strives for comfort, so he tries to purchase different shoes and clothes that are suitable for different weather conditions. Today you can find a lot of clothes and shoes from foreign and domestic manufacturers, offered in a huge assortment. However, many people forget about the titanic work of people involved in the production of such products, providing maximum comfort, helping to escape from heat, rain or cold.

history of the holiday

Such a holiday can be called relatively young, since it began to be celebrated only 30 years ago. The document that became the basis for the introduction of such an important holiday was the Decree of the Presidium of the Council of the Soviet Union, adopted on 10/1/1980. The holiday was celebrated on the territory of the entire USSR, congratulating the shock workers of labor and presenting letters of commendation and prizes. However, after the collapse of the great superpower, the holiday remained, but was adopted by the heads of each of the seceding countries, including Russia.

How they celebrate in Russia

On the Day of Light Industry Workers, various meetings and conferences are held to highlight the most successful companies that contribute to the development of the country's light industry, as well as solving the main problems that arise in this area. Solemn meetings are held at various industrial enterprises, providing for the presentation of certificates and awards to the most distinguished employees by their work and diligence. Veterans of labor who have put a lot of effort and time into improving the technologies and processes of the light industry are also often invited. On this day, the authorities and officials of various ranks express gratitude to all workers and labor veterans, and also congratulate them on the great professional holiday.

Recently, light industry enterprises have predominantly female employees, who are distinguished by patience, attentiveness and the ability to perform monotonous work for a long time. At the same time, today most of the light industry is made up of small companies with a small staff, engaged in the production of a limited number of products to order, or tailoring workwear, camping equipment. Congratulations to the employees of such companies are carried out by their management.

Also, light industry workers are congratulated by friends, colleagues and ordinary acquaintances, giving them small presents or expressing congratulations in poetic form (SMS, postcards, and so on).

Celebration in the world

In other countries that were previously part of the Soviet Union, the celebration of such an event takes place in much the same way. Workers and veterans of labor in the light industry are congratulated by the management, as well as close, familiar colleagues. Often on this day, labor leaders receive certificates, as well as incentive bonuses. In many countries, many conferences are timed to coincide with this day, designed to draw attention to the problems of light industry in different countries, as well as to find the most appropriate ways to solve them.

Light industry in Russia

Light industry in Russia originated in the 17th century. Then the first workshops began to open, engaged in sewing clothes from cloth and linen, created by the state. It is noteworthy that the state forced people to work at such enterprises, depriving them of a good rest and the opportunity to earn money. The next step was the opening of capitalist workshops engaged in sewing various products from wool and linen. At this time, hired labor had already appeared, people began to receive rewards for the efforts made and the time spent. It was only in the 19th century that the first factories equipped with multifunctional equipment were opened, allowing the mass production of high-quality shoes and clothing.

During the existence of the Soviet Union, there was a rapid development of light industry. Combines began to open everywhere, qualitatively processing knitwear, linen, cotton and wool. However, the workers who worked at such plants received meager wages, degrading the importance of their work. During the collapse of the superpower, foreign-made clothing and footwear began to be massively brought to Russia, which negatively affected the state of the domestic light industry. Today, the import of foreign products is not blocked, but domestic factories and small businesses have managed to reach a certain level, producing high-quality products that compete with foreign brands.

Large light industry enterprises are located in 12 economic regions of Russia. The most important regions that produce the maximum amount of products are Tver and Ivanovo, located in the central part of the country. In such areas, the production of high-quality knitwear and various products from this material has been established. Every year, numerous enterprises from these regions hold thematic fairs, offering everyone to purchase high-quality domestic products. However, every year the country's reserves necessary for the production of textiles are depleted, which leads to a gradual decrease in the volume of output, as well as a significant increase in the cost of domestic textiles.

Not every specialty has a professional holiday. However, the category of specialists, which will be discussed in this article, has been celebrating its day for more than thirty years. Weavers, knitters, fashion designers, tailors, furriers and even furniture assemblers... All of these professionals celebrate Light Industry Day, which falls every year on the second Sunday of June.

What date is the day of light industry: in 2017 it is celebrated on Sunday 11 June

Which countries celebrate: mandatory in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Also, this professional holiday is celebrated in some other countries of the former USSR, but not on such a grand scale.

Who established the day of light industry workers: in Ukraine it was approved by the President by Decree of June 9, 1994 (No. 285/94)

Celebration traditions: Most often, outstanding specialists are awarded on this day, and fashion shows are also held.

The Ukrainian climate implies an impressive wardrobe: every average citizen of the country has at least three seasonal sets of shoes and clothes in which you can feel comfortable on the street in any weather. Ukrainians with above average income most often prefer branded items, although many Ukrainian designers are in trend today. As for the majority of consumers, they are happy to purchase clothes from domestic factories and companies. It is to all employees of this industry that the day of light industry 2017 is dedicated. Today these are the following areas:

Clothing industry (fur, haberdashery, shoes);
Textile industry (silk, cotton, knitwear, linen).

The main task of such enterprises in Ukraine is to pay back the day invested in them as quickly as possible, to be distinguished by high mobility of production and prompt change of assortment depending on fashion trends.

history of the holiday

The factory industry appeared quite a long time ago: in the eighteenth century. This was facilitated by technological progress: special looms and spinning machines appeared. Thus, labor moved from manual to machine. And it is not surprising that the nineteenth is a time when many enterprises developed at an incredibly rapid pace. The development was also facilitated by the fact that the factories now worked not by driven serfs, but by hired workers interested in the result and earnings. Then a rather protracted economic crisis set in in this area, but after the war, enterprises began to work with renewed vigor. In 1980, the Day of Textile and Light Industry Workers was solemnly approved. After the collapse of the USSR, a huge flow of foreign products poured into the Ukrainian market, which practically ousted domestic producers. However, there is currently an active recovery and rebranding of many manufacturers.

How is Light Industry Day celebrated in Ukraine?

Despite the fact that there are certain difficulties in the industry, this holiday is necessarily celebrated at every enterprise. Just imagine: in the country more than four hundred thousand people are involved in this field, and about eighty percent of them are women. It is not surprising that on the second Sunday of June, the Day of the Seamstress in Ukraine, you can meet large women's companies in cafes and restaurants. There are no special celebration traditions: rallies and festivals have not been held since Soviet times. Today, at the official level, only the best employees (both the country and a separate factory) are awarded. Also on this day, employees, as a rule, receive well-deserved bonuses, after which they go to corporate parties.

Guided by the mind
But they are greeted by clothes!
We would like a little
Be in tune with fashion too.
Fabrics for fun
And cover it so that it is not a "bag",
shoes with sturdy heels,
And a good trail of perfume...
Congratulations to those people
From under whose magical hands
A miracle suddenly appears
Lots of things we need.
We count on you -

Perfumers and tailors.

The Day of Light Industry Workers is celebrated every second Sunday of June in Russia. Nationwide fanfares are not heard towards the workers of the industry, rallies and festivals are not held in their honor everywhere, however, light industry is one of the main sectors of the country, and the people working in it are engaged in the most important thing - to put on shoes and dress their compatriots, while remaining modest workers.

From the history of light industry in Russia

When Europeans were already accustomed to buying clothes, shoes, and textile household goods in stores, Russian residents did all this in artisanal conditions. Only in the 19th century did machine production appear in our country, first of all, where there used to be textile manufactories and raw materials: flax, wool.

Light industry in the country developed rapidly, but had its drawbacks: poor mechanization, expensive equipment imports, low wages for workers. The dissatisfaction of the latter at the beginning of the 20th century led to numerous unrest, and in Ivanovo-Voznesensk, the main center of light industry in Russia, to the creation of the country's first Soviet of Workers' Deputies.

After the revolution, in the war, post-war years, the light industry is developing at a good pace, albeit with its own problems and shortcomings, but workers in the textile, clothing, leather, fur, and shoe industries were able to dress and shoe people, despite all the obstacles. And this has become a very important achievement in the development of the whole country.

The holiday of the industry was established in the Soviet Union in 1980 by the Decree "On Holidays and Commemorative Dates". In 2000, this day was approved by the Decree of the President of Russia "On the Day of Textile and Light Industry Workers."

Now the light industry is changing. We have to compete with the import of clothing, and therefore the quality of materials, product design, and sales are important; for this, annual textile fairs are being revived in Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow, Ivanovo, and other large cities of the country.

Geography of the holiday and people

The Day of Light Industry Workers is still a holiday for residents of Moscow, Leningrad, Tver, Vladimir and, of course, Ivanovo regions. It was here that industry began, factories were built and, for the most part, survived. We all remember the song about the fact that "Ivanovo is a city of brides", but why? There is a center of Russian textiles! Even the famous fashion designer Vyacheslav Zaitsev comes from this city. Perhaps that is why the holiday is felt here more than in other parts of Russia.

Fashion shows are held, conscientious and hardworking people are honored at enterprises. Many families celebrate the holiday, and since it is summer time, folk festivals in nature, picnics, and boating are popular.

Day of light industry workers in other countries

Once upon a time, our neighbors were a large single state, and light industry united different republics. So, cotton was brought to the center from the south, flax was grown in the central regions, large factories in big cities made cars for provincial enterprises. Therefore, this holiday is still celebrated not only in Russia, but also in Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan.

The Day of Light Industry Workers is one of the most important, although not at all pompous, holidays of the country.

In the conditions of the Russian climate, the average resident of the country must have at least three sets of clothes and shoes in order to comfortably move around the streets in any weather. People with a high level of income, as a rule, prefer to wear clothes of foreign brands, but there are also many consumers from domestic manufacturers of light industry. A professional holiday is dedicated to employees of this industry.

When they celebrate

Every second Sunday in June Russia, Belarus and Ukraine celebrate the Day of Textile and Light Industry Workers. In 2019, the holiday falls on June 9th. In Russia, he copes in accordance with Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1111 “On the Day of Textile and Light Industry Workers”, issued on June 17, 2000.

Who is celebrating

This is a professional holiday of those people who are directly related to this type of activity. Approximately six hundred thousand people are employed in the light industry of the Russian Federation, of which about 80 percent are women. Numerous employees of clothing, footwear, leather, fur and other enterprises celebrate this date on a grand scale.

history of the holiday

This event has existed for over 30 years. The Day of Light Industry Workers was established by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR of October 1, 1980 "On holidays and memorable days." After the collapse of the Union, it was approved at the state level by the heads of the republics by separate decrees.

The Russian history of the development of light industry dates back to the 17th century. It was then that the first state-owned linen and cloth manufactories began to appear, which dressed the inhabitants of pre-revolutionary Russia, mainly by serf workers. Then they were replaced by capitalist textile factories, which employed hired workers.

During the Soviet Union, light industry began to develop rapidly. Linen, woolen, knitwear and cotton factories appeared mainly in the central regions of the country. After the collapse of the USSR, the post-Soviet market opened up to imported goods, which led to a significant decline in domestic textile production.

About light industry in Russia

In the Russian Federation, there are more than 15 thousand enterprises and organizations related to the textile and light industry, so the products of domestic factories may well satisfy the demand of their customers.

To date, the economic condition of Russian textile enterprises has stabilized, but many problems of the industry have survived and hinder the further development of organizations. Demand for products is not high enough, many enterprises use outdated technological equipment, and the wages of workers leave much to be desired. The situation is not improved by the huge share of illegally brought into the country and shadow products of the light industry.

The most famous region producing light and textile products in Russia is the Ivanovo region. Local enterprises dress and shoe the whole country and even export products abroad.
