Another popular choice to celebrate March 8th is by visiting friends. This beautiful spring holiday is most often celebrated in the family circle with a festive meal and champagne. As the time passed, the political motives of the holiday moved to the background and March 8th simply became a women's holiday in Russia and other republics of the former USSR. This holiday emerged as a political celebration to symbolize the fight of women from all over the world for their rights, full equality with men, democracy and peace. One might compare March 8th in Russia with Mother's Day in the West, although the Russian holiday celebrates all women, including mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and girlfriends. However, there is also a special day for women-International Women's Day-which is celebrated in the first month of spring on March 8th. Due to a common Russian stereotype that the role of the defender is reserved for males, the holiday has more recently come to celebrate Russia's men as a whole. In a broad sense, this holiday celebrates people who are serving or were serving the Russian Armed Forces.
For example, Defender of the Fatherland Day (originally known as Red Army Day) is celebrated on February 23rd. Russia inherited several public holidays from the era of the Soviet Union.
