Special Days

Everyone enjoys a good celebration! There is one special day in Russia that students especially like celebrating.

Spotlight on Russia takes a closer look at...

Tatiana's Day

Every year on 25th January, students, teachers and professors celebrate Tatiana's Day. This holiday celebrates Saint Tatiana, the patron saint of students. Universities all over Russia celebrate it with various events. In many schools former students come to talk to the school children about their university studies. The best students receive awards and in some cities, such as Nizhniy Novgorod, citizens choose the best Tatiana from all the students of the city. Some communities have begun using the day to put on plays and performances for families and neighbours in their area. In the evening, people dance in the street or let off fireworks.

Russians believe the patron saint was named after Count Ivan Shuvalov's mother, Tatiana. On 25th January, 1755, Count Ivan and Empress Elizabeth agreed to build the first Russian university in Moscow. Tatiana's name day also happened to be 25th January, so because of this, the tradition began. For over 250 years this celebration has taken place around Russia.
