August 1: All-Russian collector's day
August 1 is celebrated as All-Russian Cash Cashier's Day. Cash collectors are people on whom the reliability and safety of funds and material assets largely depends. The work of a cash collector is extremely difficult. He must be, as they say, a jack of all trades: not only an experienced security guard, but also a cashier who knows all forms of documents necessary for the transfer of valuables, stamps, and details. He is also a specialist in working with complex banking equipment (ATMs of various designs, electronic exchange offices) and, finally, a loader. After all, packaged valuables can be very heavy, weighing up to 50 kilograms (for example, coins - revenue from car fleets or bullions of precious metals) or, conversely, fragile (cassettes in ATMs). In 1988, the service acquired the status of an independent legal entity, subordinate to the Bank of Russia and being its structural entity. The duties of cash collectors include collecting, guarding and delivering cash and other valuables to the bank's cash desk. The word "collection" comes from the Italian incassare, which means "to put in a box."

August 15: Archaeologist's Day
Despite the fact that the history of this holiday is not connected with any events or discoveries and it is not a state or official holiday, archaeologists celebrate it as a professional one. Archeology is a completely separate science. All historical events are established either from written sources or from archaeological data. Very, very few written messages are preserved, and sometimes more everyday material than one can imagine. In Russia, this science began to develop in the middle of the 19th century, when Count Alexei Sergeevich Uvarov became interested in archeology. At first, he did not have the slightest idea about the technology of excavation. But it was his research that formed the basis for the further development of the science of antiquities.

September Holidays

1 September is the day of knowledge
On September 1, Russia celebrates an exciting and wonderful holiday - Knowledge Day. In all centuries, people have strived for knowledge, studied, taught, and only on September 1, 1984, the Supreme Soviet of the USSR officially established September 1 as a holiday - Knowledge Day. September 1 is a holiday for all of us, which every year brings together people of different generations and different professions.
September 2: Russian Guard Day
September 3: Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism
September 3 is a tragic date in the calendar of Russian holidays. September 3 is one of the memorable dates in Russia, which is called the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism. The Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism was established by the federal law “On the Days of Military Glory of Russia” dated July 6, 2005. This date is associated with the tragic events in Beslan on September 1-3, 2004.

September 13: Tankman's Day
Day of Remembrance for Victims of Fascism
The Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Fascism is the Day of Remembrance of tens of millions of people who perished as a result of a gigantic, inhuman experiment. These are millions of soldiers whom the fascist leaders pitted against each other, but even more - civilians who died under bombs, from disease and from hunger. There is no country that would benefit from the rule of the Nazis, there is no nation that would be enriched materially or spiritually as a result of their rule. Since 1962, it has been customary to consider every second Sunday in September as the International Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Fascism. This day was determined specifically in September, since this month marks two dates associated with the Second World War - the day of its beginning and its complete end. This was one of the reasons for establishing a day of mourning on a September Sunday.
Programmer's Day
Programmer's Day is an unofficial holiday of programmers, celebrated on the 256th day of the year. The number 256 (two to the eighth power) was chosen because it is the number of numbers that can be expressed using a single byte. In leap years this holiday falls on September 12, in non-leap years - on September 13.
September 18: Secretary's Day
There is no official professional holiday for secretaries in Russia. But an initiative group of secretaries from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Taganrog, Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk and Perm and the editors of the magazine “[email protected]” decided to correct this injustice and establish the “Secretary’s Day” holiday, which is proposed to be held every third Friday in September.
September 20:

It can also be said that the first autumn month of September is very rich in holidays and memorable dates. At the same time, both global and domestic levels. There are also many significant events that are celebrated in various countries of the world on all five continents. Today there are more than a dozen such holidays, memorable events and significant dates.

Review of September holidays

On September 2, all countries of the anti-Hitler and anti-Japanese coalitions widely celebrate the end of World War II. This happened in 1945. In the beginning there was a great victory over the Nazis and was marked by the capture of Berlin and the hoisting of the Red Banner of Victory over the Reichstag (May 45). The Kwantung Army continued fighting in our Far East and Chinese territory. And the USSR declared war on it. In less than five months it ended with the complete defeat of Japanese militarism and its unconditional surrender. In honor of the 70th anniversary of the Great Victory on May 9 in Moscow, and on September 3 in Beijing (2015), grandiose parades were held dedicated to these great dates, which were attended by heads of state of dozens of countries, veterans - living participants in past fierce battles with a monstrous enemy. Representatives of the victorious armies also took part in the parades.

On September 2, another important date is celebrated all over the planet - World Heart Day. And this is by no means accidental. Just think about it - over seventeen million people die from cardiovascular diseases every year in the world! In Russia alone, there are 250 heart patients per thousand people. And the numbers continue to grow alarmingly. This is because many people smoke, abuse alcohol, use drugs and lead a sedentary lifestyle. While in ancient times the brilliant physician, philosopher and writer Hippocrates (remember the text of his oath for doctors!) persistently recommended getting rid of bad habits and doing more physical exercise.
Our academician N.M. Amosov, a famous cardiologist, author of a number of popular scientific publications, who during the Great Patriotic War operated on over four thousand wounded people and thereby saved their lives, also spoke a lot about the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. He developed and published a whole range of physical exercises that prevent cardiovascular diseases.
The initiative to celebrate World Heart Day was taken back in 1999 by the World Heart Federation, the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNESCO. Since then, it has been widely celebrated on the planet.
But the fifth of September is Teacher's Day in India, where there are as many as one hundred and fifty million students! The figure is quite comparable to the population of several European or other countries combined. As in Russia, children come to school on this day in formal clothes, with flowers and gifts, and warmly congratulate their mentors and teachers on their professional holiday. There are no classes, but sometimes the lessons are taught by himself and the students. Unlike us, in India, children's education is treated zealously and responsibly. The poorest village has its own school, albeit small. And even with free food for the kids. Under Soviet rule, we also had schools everywhere (remember the film “The Village Teacher”!). Now (2015), as a result of thoughtless reforms and optimization, many rural schools have closed, and children have to walk far or take buses to get an education.
Teacher's Day in India is associated with another important event - the birthday of the great scientific humanist, writer, and so on and so on in order Sarvepalli Radhakrishna, who, for his great services to the state, was elected its president, and ruled the country for five whole years, not counting his vice -presidential term. The statesman and politician, educator made an invaluable contribution to the development of domestic education, including higher education.

An amazing holiday is the Day of Uncharted Roads, celebrated throughout the world on September 4th. And what outstanding names he is associated with! With Christopher Columbus, the discoverer of America. Vasco da Gama - who paved the shortest route from Europe to India. Our Afanasy Nikitin, the author of the famous “Walkings across the Three Seas”, who visited Persia, India, and Turkey. Finally, Fedor Konyukhov, who sailed alone across the Atlantic fifteen times, conquered several of the highest peaks in the world, painted thousands of paintings and published several books about his unforgettable travels.

As you know, our people love holidays and know how to celebrate them with their characteristic breadth. I wonder what the holidays will be like in September 2018? Will Russians have additional days off? Those who are interested in these issues can use our material.

Production calendar as a source of information

In Russia, this calendar is a reliable source of information regarding holidays, weekends and working days. It is an excellent tool for personnel officers and accountants for calculating working hours and payroll at enterprises of any form of ownership. If you want to plan your time in advance, then there is no better option than looking at the production calendar. In it you can find complete information about how we rest in a particular month and what the working days will be.

So, looking at this document, we see that in September:

Calendar days:	30
Working days:	20
Weekends:	10
Postponement of holidays:	No
Shortened working days:	No
Holiday weekends:	No

Even though there are no public holidays in this calendar, this does not mean that other holidays will not be celebrated in our country.

Muslim holidays

There are entire regions in our country where the Muslim population lives compactly. Therefore, we considered it necessary to mention Muslim holidays in our review:

• 09/05/18, Wednesday - Eid al-Mubakhila;
• 09.11.18, Tuesday - Hijri New Year;
• 09.17.18, Monday – hike to Khaybar;
• 09.19.18, Wednesday - Tashua of Imam Hussein;
• 09.20.18, Thursday - Day of Ashura or remembrance of the prophets of the messengers of Allah.

People of other religions often live next to us, and therefore, for better mutual understanding, sometimes we just need to know a little more about their lives.

Probably, few people know that Muslims celebrate their New Year in 2018 on 09/11/18. This is due to the fact that they live according to the lunar calendar. Their New Year is completely different from ours. They don’t have a Christmas tree, they don’t drink champagne at the festive table and they don’t set the table on New Year’s Eve. They completely dedicate this day to the Prophet Muhammad, go to the mosque and pray.

And who knows that according to the Muslim faith, heaven, angels and the first man were created on September 20? However, for Muslims, this is not a holiday. On this day, believers of this religion are in mourning and are engaged in torturing themselves in every possible way.
