On May 1, the official holiday began to be considered only after the October Revolution, which was in 1917. The government of the country decided to conduct demonstrations and parades on May 1. For the first time, such an event on Red Square began to broadcast by television channels in 1956.

In 1970, the name was enshrined by this holiday - the day of the international solidarity of the working people, and on May 2, as a rule, picnics are satisfied with nature with loved ones and friends.

On this day not only congratulate the workers, but also noted the beginning of the last month of spring. Therefore, it is customary to arrange fairs, as well as concerts in which celebrities participate.

Today is May 1 for many - only the Echo of the Soviet past. But his story is interesting and unusual. The article will tell about how transformed on the International Labor Day. Yes, indeed, the traditions of this celebration take their beginning in the depths of the centuries. At that time, our ancestors celebrated a holiday that symbolized the beginning of the new field of field work. So it is labor.

Holiday goddess

The authorities make a lot of adjustments to the perception of those or other phenomena. The ruling elite looked at all times to rooted his ideology in society. The scope of their activities was distributed in all directions: from the interpretation of history to the foundation of the celebrations.

It is very interesting to form the tradition of celebrating on May 1. What a holiday on the first day of the third month of spring, knew in ancient Greece and ancient Rome. Each of these peoples worshiped she was a patroness of farmers. Every year, the peasants to hide the goddess, mass celebrations arranged. The date came on May 1. On this day, any work was canceled. All celebrated the arrival of the new yield season. Later, the Romans in honor of Maya called the month.

Russian celebration

Celebrated modern holidays and Slavs. April 30 and May 1 were highlighted in red in their calendar. The ritual who spent our ancestors was called Radonitsa. The essence of the holiday on May 1 in Slavs - Spring cold care. These days also honored the dead. Gifts were brought to their graves, among whom were and welcomed the goddess I live, having had the power to revive nature. All day May 1 was assigned to rest. People bathed in cold water to cleanse, and burned ritual bonfires on the banks of the rivers.

With the advent of Christianity, representatives of the Church set the goal to destroy the pagan rites. It concerned both the patroness of the fertility of Maya and the Russian rituals of honoring the dead. But to get rid of the fun and joyful holiday was the task of difficult. Everyone knew what holiday was important on May 1, and continued to celebrate it.

Therefore, it was decided to transform traditions. Spring's pagan holidays were presented as the celebration of the Resurrection of Christ, having moved some of the original elements.

First day of workers

Over the ten centuries of Christianity, the feast of the arrival of heat disappeared and noted already as a miracle of resurrection. But historical events made their amendments.

1856 Australian workers organized a protest march. The main requirement was to transfer workers on an 8-hour working day and at the same time not to reduce the salary. Then Fortune was on their side. Goals they have achieved without bloodshed. Since then, they celebrated their victory annually.

Thirty years later, in 1886, on another continent, US and Canadian workers decided to achieve an 8-hour working day by rallies and demonstrations. This happened on May 1. What holiday on this day, everyone knows, but not everyone knows that his story is tragic.

The strikers sought a limited working day (before that he hesitated from 12 to 15 hours), established salary and social guarantees. Each city raised the riot. But the center of protests became Chicago.

Motherland on May 1.

Events in Chicago entered the story as "rally on Haymarket". About 40,000 dissatisfied workers came to the streets of the city. The next day, one of the leading plants fired more than 1000 employees. Offended and unemployed people arranged another demonstration. Under the goal of that plant, the uprising was dispersed by the police, while dozens of people were injured, and several strikers were killed.

Even more bloody events occurred three days after May 1. The history of the holiday acquired a new turn.

At Haymarket Square, in the shopping center, organized a rally against the massacre of power. Everything was relatively calm. Police was going to clear the square. But one of the provocateurs quit the order of the bomb. Police began shelling. During the shooting, many peaceful protesters died. The repression followed, and after a while and the apology of the authorities.

The whole world learned about the so-called revolution on May 1. What a holiday could be based on these events? Of course, began to celebrate the victory of the working on the system!

Underground Maevki.

Officially presented the event and introduced the International International Congress II. This structure united in its ranks socialist workers from around the world. In 1889, in Paris, it was decided to celebrate the day of the proletariat in memory of those killed in Chicago. The offer to enter the streets of the city every year and fight for their rights has come. Since then, there has been separated from the light of the glory of the day on May 1. The holiday in Russia (at the time of the Empire) was first noted in 1890 in Warsaw. The following year, the Day of Workers in the whole world was happy again rejoiced. There workers hid from the leadership in the forest. Under the type of picnic, people discussed important revolutionary issues. She picked up movement and Moscow. The first proletarian Maevka took place there in 1895.

Openly celebrated Labor Day in 1917. The celebration had a bright political color. The slogans, exclamations, portraits of political figures - everything was directed to the class struggle. A year later, with the coming to power of the Soviets, the law was adopted that from now on at the national level will be celebrated on May 1. What a holiday and how to spend it, every Soviet man knew.

Time of worker people

The brightest May Day shares were organized by the Soviet government. The teams were preparing for the celebration of Weeks. It was not only a day off, and a large-scale cultural program whose planning was engaged in the elite.

The parades of the Union envied the whole world. People gladly walked on demonstrations. Everyone struggled for the best transparency.

In order for in the first years to bring the masses to the streets, the power of Schitrla. The leaders were allowed on the main squares column of technology, among which there was a tank. At the miracle gathered to see the yawaks.

The parades of the 20-30s were remembered by the magnificent acrobatic and gymnastic numbers. Various scenes were also raised, in which capitalists were raised. This is what holiday on May 1 was in the Soviet Union.

Labor Day

The celebration was started in the Union called the Day of International. But later the name has changed. Since 1930, day 1 was known as the holiday of international solidarity of the proletariat. The years of the Great Patriotic War made their modifications. Then the day was renamed in battle proletariat. Next, the new official name is established - International Labor Day. But the people called him simply - May 1. The history of the holiday takes its beginning to the United States, but it is worth noting that there workers relax on the first Monday of September.

More than 140 countries, workers give the weekend on May 1 or on the first Monday of the month. Another 80 states celebrate the holiday on another day.

Forgetting traditions

Today, the holiday scenario on May 1 acquired new features. It is worth noting that less and less Russians want to devote the day to mass shares. Experts argue that such a decline in activity is caused by the fact that during the communist ideology, the exit to the parade was forced, whereas now, even the parade itself has lost its original qualities.

In modern Russia, May 1 lost political context and is noted as officially such status was provided to the celebration on December 30, 2001, which is indicated in Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

This day people try to spend friends and families in nature, relax and gain strength until the next holidays.

Holiday history in the world

This date takes its own date in the American city of Chicago, where May 1, 1886 passed a large-scale protest of the workers. Tired of unbearable conditions, people demanded restrictions on the number of labor hours per day to 8. But the rally not only did not reach the goal, but also led to numerous victims among the protesters.

The American authorities who were not going to reduce the 15-hour working day, ordered the police to take hard measures against protesters. As a result, a massive fire was opened, which hovers hundreds of lives. Despite this, annually on May 1, the workers continued to hold protests, demanding to take into account their difficult working conditions. Such rallies often ended with these fights with policemen. It was in memory of the first Chicago protest actions a date began to celebrate, first of all, as a holiday of labor.

Such mass performances did not remain unnoticed. Congress of the II International, which in 1889 was held in Paris, decided to call on May 1 Worldwide Solidarity of Workers. It was done in honor of the workers of Chicago, the first to decide to resist the existing system.

In addition, it was decided at Congress that people of all states have the right to go to rallies annually on May 1 and nominate their social demands. So, the labor holiday was officially recognized at the state level.


History of the holiday in Russia

Inspired by the example of American colleagues, the actions of the Poles, the Russian workers gradually came to the thoughts about the start of protests. The first mass demonstrations of the proletariat were marked in 1897, when the holiday acquired a political color.

But, despite the fact that the labor holiday was officially recognized by the authorities, massive walking was not for a long time. Only in 1901 the first slogans were noticed, the power was discovered. By 1912, the number of representatives of the proletariat participating in the May demonstrations reached 400 thousand. And in 1917, the whole millions of people were walking through the streets, demanding the overthrow of the royal power. It was this year that the Russian holiday began to wear official character, and demonstrations and parades began to be held openly.

In each local village in the streets, there were entire working groups, carrying posters in their hands that reflect the existing ideology. And the reward for the most distinguished themselves was the possibility of participation in the main parade of the country, which was held on Red Square in the capital.
