Memorable dates and anniversaries, these festive moments, sometimes evoke melancholy and turn into a “common” place marked with a bold “tick”. Why is this so?
“Let the descendants of the Orthodox know
Our native land has suffered a past fate,” said Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin. Memory is experience, it is a connection between times and generations, it is a holistic picture of the world in the end. Flipping through the calendar of memorable dates, at a minimum, you can find interesting facts, curious information and unexpected parallels, and at most, you can find a place for the next fragment in the overall picture of the world and make this puzzle more integral and perfect. Shall we try? Memorable dates in 2016 are rich in variety and surprises.
Firstly, the coming 2016 has been declared the Year of Greece. Every year is declared the year of “something” both at the global and regional levels in order to attract public attention to a particular phenomenon. So, in the “Greek” year, we will have a rich program in the fields of science, culture, art and sports. In Greece, they say, there is everything - and we have an excellent opportunity to check it out.
Russia declared 2016 the year of cinema, Pope Francis is the year of mercy, the EU will spend the coming year under the auspices of protecting women from violence, and the UN has named 2016 the year of pulses. Well, all this deserves attention! In 2016, we still have elections to the State Duma, although it is not entirely clear whether this fact applies to the memorable dates of 2016?
