Day of Friendship, Unity of the Slavs
Description:
This date is most widely celebrated by three friendly countries - Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. As noted in the official congratulations of the heads of these states, this is a truly national holiday, coming from the common roots, cultural traditions and customs of our peoples.
