Each coming year is rich in anniversaries, memorable and significant dates. Some make you mourn, others make you feel grateful. Science, sports, history, culture - every field has its own anniversaries.
How will Russians remember the coming year? First, it’s worth clarifying the terms “significant” and “memorable.” The first word denotes historical events that influenced the life of a people, a country, or the whole world in the past. The second refers to days that are imprinted in human memory, influenced the formation of cultural values and affected the fate of important historical figures.
Significant dates in 2017 by month can make a list of more than 700 dates. We will not touch upon highly specialized ones in individual areas. We list only particularly significant days for residents of Russia.

There is no need to memorize the exact date of each event or the years of life of an outstanding personality. It is much more important to understand their significance in the history of their native country and to realize their influence on the development of national science and culture.

Our world does not stand still. Every year we have something to remember, something to be grateful for and something to be sad about. And every year many significant dates are celebrated, which, in one way or another, are connected with the development of mankind. It is necessary and important to remember them, because without this our history would have sunk into oblivion. There can be no future without the past, so we should remember and honor memorable dates.
Mentality, politics, culture, sports, people, science - all this inevitably changed over time, new customs and traditions were added, we won battles and wars, our scientists discovered something new, inventions appeared that could surprise and shock...
And now all this is already history that must be remembered. It is clear that it is impossible to keep everything in your head all the time, so our site will tell you which significant and memorable dates in 2017 to be celebrated by Russia. Some past events will resonate with joy in the heart, while others will cause far from cheerful emotions. But they are also a small part of our lives.
