The most important holiday in Energetikov
In Russia, a lot of professional events, but on December 22 - it's a special date. After all, this day is a holiday for all employees of the electricity sector. And, in my opinion, it is the most important holiday of the year, after the birth for the mother-of course!
The history of the holiday and the symbolism
Celebrate their professional holiday on this day of energy have become no accident, because back in 1920 December 22 was adopted by the Russian State Electrification Plan (electrification plan). But this date is not immediately became a holiday only in 1966 (namely 23 May) at the 8th All-Russian Congress of Soviets decided to establish this holiday to commemorate the day of the adoption of the electrification plan.
In the mid-80s, it was decided to celebrate the holiday on the third Sunday of December. It motivated this decision by the fact that the holiday has always been the weekend. But he never caught on until the end. Since many power engineers interchangeable nature of the work and not always Sunday was the weekend.
And in 2015, finally decided to return to the celebration is December 22. By the way, there was a curious situation in that year. Third Sunday was the date of December 20th, and already on December 21 the Russian Government Decree number 1396 has been restored historical justice and the holiday was once again on December 22.
That is, in this year it was just the two holidays at the power industry of the country.
The symbolism of this festival adds the fact that it falls on the winter solstice, when the day is the shortest and the longest night of the year.
wishes
This holiday is not a day off, which means that a lot of energy will be met at their workplace. So I want to wish you all to this day not a single emergency stop to all the teams worked peacefully replaced on the bases and dispatchers phone was silent all the time.
I also want to wish that employers respect the work and realized that the fixer - is not capable of universal soldier fix everything and do another bunch of not his work, but first and foremost a professional who needs to monitor the work equipment.
On the holiday of all who are now working in this area, or has ever worked, because the former energy (electrical) does not happen. Also on the occasion of who understands how the light gets in every home and can twist the two wires.
