Let us remind you that on January 25, Russia celebrates Student Day (Tatyana’s Day). The history of the holiday of Russian students is closely connected with the history of Moscow University. By decree of Empress Elizabeth Petrovna, it began its work on January 25, 1755 – St. Tatiana's Day. From that time on, the holiday began to be celebrated in Moscow, and later this practice migrated to other cities.
In 2005, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree according to which Student Day on January 25 became the country's official holiday.
