The first decade of May in Russia is traditionally full of celebrations. It starts with the Day of Spring and Labor and continues with giving honor to the veterans of the World War II. The history of the Russian Red Cross has always been closely interwoven with the history of Russia. This is why the month of May is very special for us at the Red Cross.
We would like to share our joy with everyone! We congratulate you on the holidays which May has in abundance!
May 1 – The Day of Spring and Labor
May 8 – The International Red Cross/Red Crescent Day
150th ANNIVERSARY OF THE RED CROSS/RED CRESCENT MOVEMENT
May 9 – World War II Victory Day
May 15 – The Russian Red Cross Foundation Day
In order to contribute to the celebration of these important dates, we have prepared “The Month of Kindness” Program that will include our traditional events:
