Friends!
\n\n
Granpa Frog, who is an official member of the Gomagic group on the OGS, is holding an unofficial May (2023) Gomagic \"May Holidays\" tournament.
\n\n
The USSR had, and Russia has, a great many holidays and anniversaries. In fact, a memorable date can be found every day. The USSR used to publish an annual \"tear-off\" calendar like this: It consisted of 364 pages, one page for each day. When the day passed, the page had to be torn off. Each day of the calendar was marked with some memorable date. The Day of the Taking of the Bastille (July 14) was especially popular with people. Perhaps this popularity was due to the fact that Soviet citizens did not like to drink alcoholic beverages (vodka) for nothing. They always tried to drink in honor of some holiday. And Bastille Day was a holiday to drink in honor of. The fact that the capture of the Bastille was very far away from Soviet people in time and space gave a special irony to the celebration of this holiday. Which caused its popularity.
\n\n
So, there are a lot of holidays and memorable dates in Russia. And May is no exception among other months. May also has many holidays celebrated in Russia. The holidays are varied and I will tell you about some of them.
\n\n
Labor Day - May 01
\n\n
On May 1, 1886, Chicago workers marched in a rally - people appealed to the government to improve working conditions: establish an 8-hour workday instead of 12-15-hour days, raise wages, stop the exploitation of child labor.
\n\n
In 1891, the Russian revolutionary Mikhail Brusnev and his comrades-in-arms held the first rally in St. Petersburg. The rally was attended by the working class. Years later, after the events of the October Revolution in 1917, the holiday acquired official status and was called \"International Day. In the same year, the first parade, dedicated to May Day, took place in the Soviet Union. And 9 years later, in the summer of 1928, the whole two days - May 1 and May 2 - were declared official holidays.
\n\n
Victory Day - May 09
\n
On this day the Soviet Union ended a difficult and bloody Great Patriotic War against Nazi Germany and its allies, which lasted from 1941 to 1945. On May 8, 1945 by a decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Soviet the next day - May 9 - was proclaimed Victory Day and made a day off.
\n\n
Eyewitnesses remembered May 9, 1945 for a lifetime. At 6 a.m. sharp loudspeakers throughout the country announced that the war had ended and peace had come. It was a long-awaited holiday for every Soviet person. People congratulated each other and cried with happiness. There was a celebratory salute in Moscow in the evening - thousands of artillery cannons were fired.
\n\n
But Victory Day was a holiday only until 1947, after which it was canceled. It was restored only under the CPSU Secretary General Leonid Brezhnev in 1965, when the Great Victory was 20 years old. Since then, and to this day in Russia celebrate its holiday parades and salutes. People honor the memory of the dead, lay bouquets at monuments and honor veterans.
\n\n
It is one of the most important holidays in Russia.
\n\n
Day of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy - May 13
\n\n
May 13 is the Day of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Navy. This holiday was established 22 years ago, on July 15, 1996, in accordance with the order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy.
\n\n
The very history of the emergence of the Black Sea Fleet is a history of continuous struggle, expansion of Russia to the south to protect its borders and neutralize potential adversaries. Officially, the Black Sea Fleet was founded in 1783 by order of Empress Catherine II. Its creation became possible after the Russian Empire incorporated the lands of the Crimean Khanate, primarily the Crimean Peninsula. Azov and Dnieper military flotillas, created during the Russian-Turkish war of 1768-1774, became the basis for the creation of the Black Sea Fleet. On May 13, 1783, 235 years ago, 11 ships of Azov military flotilla entered Akhtiarskaya bay on the south-western coast of the Crimea (now Sevastopol bays). In 1784 the 17 ships of the Dnieper military flotilla were transferred here. It is in memory of these events that the Day of the Black Sea Fleet is celebrated on May 13 every year.
\n\n
Day of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy - May 18
\n\n
May 18, Russia celebrates the Day of the Baltic Fleet, one of the four fleets in the Russian Navy and the oldest among all existing fleets. The history of the Baltic Fleet is inextricably linked with the history of our country, the founding of St. Petersburg, the development of the land around the Gulf of Finland and the mouth of the Neva, with the era and the name of the first Russian emperor Peter I and his reforms that changed the country. For many years the Baltic Fleet became the shield that reliably protected the new capital of Russia and the country's borders on the Baltic.
\n\n
As the foundation date of the Baltic Fleet historians took May 18, 1703, although the first ships of the future fleet laid in late 1702 and in the very early winter of 1703 it was decided to build a powerful fleet in the Baltic, then was drawn up an approximate list of ships future fleet, the first of which built in Novgorod and Pskov shipyards. Nevertheless the birthday of the fleet was May 18, the date is tied to the first victory, which was won on the water. On the night of May 18 30 boats with soldiers of the Semenovsky and Transfiguration regiments, led personally by Peter I and his closest associate Alexander Menshikov, attacked two Swedish warships, which stopped at the mouth of the Neva.
\n\n
The Swedes did not know that the fortress of Nyenshants, near which they anchored, had previously been seized by Russian soldiers. Peter I skillfully took advantage of this carelessness of the enemy. Thanks to the rapid and sudden night attack the boat \"Gedan\" and the battleship \"Astrild\" of the Swedish squadron of Admiral Nummers were captured. On board the ships were 18 guns and 77 men of the crew, of whom 58 were killed in the assault and 19 were taken prisoner. The glorious victory of the Russian arms was the first military engagement on the Baltic, and the war moved from the land to the sea. The victory was symbolic and was of great significance for the formation of the entire Baltic fleet.
\n\n
Day of Slavonic Script and Culture - May 24
\n\n
Every year on May 24, the Day of Slavonic Script and Culture is celebrated in Russia. This holiday is connected with the names of two Slavic enlighteners, Cyril and Methodius, creators of Slavic alphabet, preachers of Christianity, first translators of liturgical books from Greek into Slavic.
\n\n
They are the Bulgarian enlighteners Cyril and Methodius, who created the first Slavic alphabet that we use to this day. They named the alphabet after the younger brother - Cyrillica.
\n\n
The history of Cyrillic is inseparably connected with Orthodoxy. Using this alphabet brothers made translations of Holy Scripture and a number of liturgical books from Greek.
\n\n
All-Russian Library Day - May 27
\n\n
This holiday originated in 1995 and was established by the President of the Russian Federation B.N. Yeltsin.
\n\n
The day of May 27th was not chosen by chance. This day is the foundation date of the first public library in Russia, the Imperial Public Library, which is called today the National Library of Russia.
\n\n
May 27, 1795 is the foundation date of the library.
\n\n
Border Guard Day - May 28
\n\n
May 28 is Border Guard Day. This holiday of green caps and berets entered the calendar in 1994 on the basis of the presidential decree \"About the establishment of the Frontier Guards` Day\", which confirmed the Decree of the USSR Council of Ministers from 1958 about the establishment of May 28th as a holiday for all frontier guards of the Soviet Union.
\n\n
The date of the holiday is not chosen by chance, on this day in 1918 the Council of People's Commissars issued a decree, which established the Border Guard of the RSFSR.
\n\n
Despite the fact that the holiday appeared in the second half of the 20th century, the frontier guards appeared a long time ago. The whole history of the state is connected with guarding borders and the soldiers guarding the borders have always existed. The first written mention of the Russian frontier guards dates back to 1360, when Metropolitan Alexis gave his blessing to the guards and stanitsa men to monitor the units of the Horde.
\n\n
There will be no scandals, intrigues or investigations at this tournament. I want calm, peace and goodness, although it never happens that way anywhere.
\n\n
And now for the nice part. Each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form.
\n\n
Something about the rules. Please note that each turn adds 1 day to your time, but no more than 3 days. Time is suspended on weekends. This means that you must make one move per day.
\n\n
Respectfully, Grandfather Frog.

February frosts have always been stronger than Christmas and Epiphany frosts. There are Russian proverbs \"February is a fierce month: he asks like he has shoes\" and \"February has two friends: a snowstorm and a blizzard\" (\"Февраль — месяц лютый: спрашивает, как обутый\" и \"У февраля два друга: метель да вьюга\"). These proverbs rhyme in Russian.\n\nThis year, Oleneksky District of Yakutia recorded the lowest temperature in Russia since the beginning of the season. On January 10 the thermometer showed -62! Even in Oymyakon, which is considered the \"center of cold\" in Russia, the temperature was \"warmer\" (-59).\n\nThe settlement is located above the Arctic Circle. On these days the sun doesn't rise there at all. Thus, the 60-degree frost holds all day long!\n\nThis is January, we are cautiously waiting for February frosts.\n\nIn other countries there is an anecdote that bears walk on the streets in Russia. This is true, but they walk the streets rarely.\n\nFor example, there was such an interesting case, a polar bear ran into one of the entrances of an apartment building on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago in the Arkhangelsk region.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2k57rbd0dg\n\nBears on the streets can sometimes be found in large cities.

In France in 1564, Charles IX issued a decree mandating that the New Year be moved from April 1 to January 1. Some people continued to celebrate New Year's Day on April 1, and were pranked by giving them empty gifts.\n\nEpic pranks.\n\n\"The Washing of the White Lions\" was one of the first mass hoaxes, which took place back in 1860. Residents of London received quite formal invitations to attend the annual white lion washing ceremony in the Tower at 11 o'clock on April 1. The place of assembly was designated as the White Gate. As a result, Londoners hung around the walls of the Tower, unsuccessfully looking for this non-existent gate on top of everything else, until they realized what day it was on the calendar.\n\n\"Channel Blowing\" - quite an epic TV hoax, arranged by the regional TV channel \"Vesti\" in Chelyabinsk. The point was that all viewers were required to blow through all the available twisted pair in the house with a vacuum cleaner or at least hang its ends out the window for a couple of hours to air it out. At the same time they showed a server room where a guy was seriously pulling bundles of wires out of switches and shoving them into a working vacuum cleaner. The video is on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQNMgmshu7g\n\nThe most expensive hoax in modern Russian history cost its organizers €200,000. The victim was a famous Russian businessman whose friends arranged for him to have dinner with the Queen of Great Britain. The dinner was held, however, without the Queen.\n\nPlay go on April 1st and prank your opponent at the go board.\n\nThere will be no scandals, intrigues or investigations at this tournament.

Each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form. \n\nSomething about the rules. Please note that each turn adds 1 day to your time, but not more than 3 days. Time is suspended on weekends. This means that you must make one move per day. \n\nRegards,\nGrandfather Frog.","schedule":null,"title":null,"tournament_type":"s_mcmahon","handicap":0,"rules":"japanese","time_per_move":88451,"time_control_parameters":{"system":"fischer","time_control":"fischer","speed":"correspondence","time_increment":86400,"initial_time":259200,"max_time":259200},"is_open":true,"exclude_provisional":true,"group":{"id":8605,"name":"Go Magic","summary":"A modern platform for learning Go","require_invitation":false,"is_public":true,"admin_only_tournaments":true,"hide_details":false,"member_count":2098,"icon":"https://user-uploads.online-go.com/fa56564088c1e0dbd50bb8160d94193d-64.png"},"auto_start_on_max":false,"time_start":"2023-03-01T18:00:00Z","players_start":4,"first_pairing_method":"slide","subsequent_pairing_method":"slaughter","min_ranking":5,"max_ranking":38,"analysis_enabled":true,"exclusivity":"open","started":"2023-03-01T18:00:22.221483Z","ended":"2024-06-19T15:14:46.165470Z","start_waiting":"2023-03-01T18:00:19.905526Z","board_size":19,"active_round":null,"icon":"https://user-uploads.online-go.com/fa56564088c1e0dbd50bb8160d94193d-15.png","player_count":33,"ranked":true},{"id":95740,"name":"Pull up if I pull up","director":{"id":881921,"username":"GrandPa Frog","country":"ru","icon":"https://user-uploads.online-go.com/5fb556e66c2a6329343862ba69d68976-64.png","ratings":{"version":5,"overall":{"rating":1389.7430311055082,"deviation":63.68664986900685,"volatility":0.059849518549770615}},"ranking":22.53596654639986,"professional":false,"ui_class":""},"description":"\n\nFriends!\nGrandPa Frog, who is an official member of the group Gomagic.org at the OGS, holds an unofficial November (2022) tournament Gomagic.org \"Pull up if I pull up\".\nThe November tournament is dedicated to Ouroboros as a representation of eternity and infinity, especially the cyclical nature of life: alternation of creation and destruction, life and death, constant rebirth and death. In all this, you can easily see the intricacies of the game of Weiqi. But this is all an artistic device called allegory. You don't need to put anything of your own into yourself, especially the tail!\nAnd now let's talk without show-offs and abstruse phrases. Human life in general, and the study of the game of Weiqi in particular, can be compared with the work of Sisyphus. Only people roll a stone in a year not in a straight line, but in a spiral. And you need to try very hard to make this spiral an Archimedean screw that takes you to the top. And not the trajectory of the \"corkscrew\", smashing you to the ground. Play Weiqi all your life. Don't give up. Fight. Drag yourself by the hair like Munchausen — to the top or at least to the pass.\nYou can read on this topic the instructive book by Bear Grylls \"True Courage. Real stories about heroism and survival skills that shaped my personality.\"\nThere will be no scandals, intrigues and investigations at this tournament.

It consisted of 364 pages, one page for each day. When the day passed, the page had to be torn off. Each day of the calendar was marked with some memorable date. The Day of the Taking of the Bastille (July 14) was especially popular with people. Perhaps this popularity was due to the fact that Soviet citizens did not like to drink alcoholic beverages (vodka) for nothing. They always tried to drink in honor of some holiday. And Bastille Day was a holiday to drink in honor of. The fact that the capture of the Bastille was very far away from Soviet people in time and space gave a special irony to the celebration of this holiday. Which caused its popularity.![\"this](\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/may_holidays/time_for_awesome_stories.jpg\")
