День незави́симости — один из распространенных национальных праздников, который отмечают многие страны мира по случаю основания государства, отделения от других стран или прекращения оккупации.

В Российской Федерации «Днём независимости» часто ошибочно или неофициально называют главный государственный праздник — 12 июня, отмечаемый с 1992 года^[1] в годовщину принятия Декларации о государственном суверенитете РСФСР^[2]. С 2002 года этот праздник носит название «День России».

В каждой стране есть ряд государственных праздников, которые обозначают основные вехи ее становления. Это общая мировая практика, призванная вызывать у людей чувство патриотизма и гордости за достижения, достигнутые за последние годы. 12 июня – День независимости России. История праздника насчитывает немного лет, но это не уменьшает его значимости для каждого гражданина.

Данная дата была взята неслучайно. Именно в этот день ввели в действие Декларацию, провозглашающую суверенитет. Эта важная веха в жизни страны дала мощный толчок для ускоренного развития и становления.

Россия имеет многовековую историю. В большинстве своем страна была свободна весь период времени, но зачастую это стоило титанических усилий со стороны народа. Монголо-татарское нашествие, войны со шведами и фашистами остались в глубинной генетической памяти. Именно поэтому День независимости является важным и значимым праздником для каждого человека в стране.

Когда принято отмечать День независимости

Дата 12 июня связана с двумя ключевыми событиями в истории государства. Первостепенным в выборе дня было принятие Декларации о суверенитете. Документ подписали 12 июня, обозначив отдельный от других стран СНГ курс развития. Также эта дата связана со всенародными выборами Президента. Праздник получил государственный статус и стал основополагающим в дальнейшей независимой истории. Его значимость осознает каждый гражданин России.

По страницам истории праздника

В 1990 году 12 июня на первом съезде депутатов была принята Декларация независимости. В документе нашло отражение то, что основным законом государства является Конституция. Она также провозглашается залогом и гарантом защиты каждого гражданина. 90-е годы были смутным временем, когда одна за другой республики отделялись от СССР и признавали свой суверенитет. В этих условиях правительство РСФСР приняло решение, дать людям уверенность в завтрашнем дне. Вместе с принятием Декларации было изменено название страны.

Годом позже, 12 июня 1991 года, было озвучено имя первого Президента. Им стал Борис Николаевич Ельцин. До 1994 года праздник не являлся государственным. Приказом Президента он стал также выходным днем. Первоначальное название было приурочено ко дню принятия документа о суверенитете. Свое короткое наименование праздник получил позже.

Отношение к этому дню было двояким. Многие не понимали его исторического и патриотического значения и воспринимали, как дополнительный выходной и возможность отдохнуть, а не как 12 июня – День независимости России. История праздника в сердцах людей началась несколько позже. А осознание его значимости стало символом развития патриотической идеи старого и в то же время молодого государства.

В годовщину торжества в 1998 году Президент внес предложение, называть праздник – День России. Эта идея получила свое логическое завершение только первого февраля через четыре года. Это решение совпало с введение в действие ряда новых документов по трудовому законодательству.

В очередную годовщину торжества, в 2001 году, Президент Владимир Владимирович Путин отметил важное значение Декларации о суверенитете для новой истории страны. Он также указал на главную ценность государства – своих граждан.

Современное значение Дня независимости России
С течением времени самый молодой праздник Российской Федерации принял свое истинное значение. Сейчас он проникнут чувством патриотизма и гордости за свою страну. В создавшейся политической ситуации все граждане сплотились в едином порыве защищать свои интересы и сохранять избранный путь развития. Молодое поколение воспитывается на патриотических идеалах. Каждый гражданин понимает свою личную ответственность перед будущим своей страны. Все люди в едином порыве выходят на праздничные мероприятия.

В современной истории День России занимает значимое место. В каждом крупном городе и небольшом населенном пункте проходят торжества на центральной площади. В Кремле Президент принимает людей, внесших весомый вклад в большее развитие страны. К этой дате приурочено вручение государственных премий Российской Федерации. Их удостаиваются люди разных профессий, работающие на благо страны.

Самое крупное мероприятие проводится в Москве. Центральная Красная площадь наполняется оживленными голосами ликующих людей. Они приходят, чтобы почувствовать силу единства и мощи народа, живущего в обществе, основанном на законе. Президент страны приветствует всех собравшихся и является равноправным участником торжеств. На площади всегда много детей и подростков, что говорит о сохранении моральных ценностей из поколения в поколение. 12 июня – День независимости России, история праздника стала для людей нормой жизни и процветания. Мероприятие неизменно заканчивается грандиозным салютом.
