Since the days of Ancient Rus, trade has played an important role in the political and economic life of the country. To this day, the profession of a seller is the most demanded in the world. Traditionally, trade is considered a woman's business. Workers of trade, services and utilities celebrate their professional holiday on the same day.
Since 1966, the Day of Trade, Service and Utilities Workers has been celebrated annually on the fourth Sunday of July. From November 1, 1988, by a decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, the holiday was postponed to the third Sunday in March. In fact, almost all employees who have been working in the field of public services, trade and utilities for a long time celebrate their professional day twice.
In this industry, they work on any day of the week, so employees celebrate their professional holiday while on duty. But even this fact does not prevent you from holding festive events and having fun at a corporate party in the evening.
For the holiday, the administration of a store, utility or service sector prepares holiday gifts and congratulations. The best employees receive cash bonuses and certificates of honor.
In the evening, a corporate party is held, to which representatives from amateur art groups or famous artists and musicians are invited.
On all Russian and regional TV channels, radio broadcasting, and print media, congratulations are heard on the professional holiday for workers in trade, services and utilities.
Holiday concerts are shown on all Russian TV channels. Pop stars, film and theater actors congratulate all employees of the Russian Federation on their professional holiday.
The official holiday is celebrated on the third Sunday in March. In July, celebrations are held "the old fashioned way." The younger generation, who recently came to the sphere of trade, utilities and the service sector, sometimes does not even realize that earlier the professional holiday was held on the fourth Sunday of July. For them, the March holiday is much closer.
