Holidays on March 14 in the world.
All over the world, March 14 is celebrated by many as the Day of Action for Rivers, Water and Life, or, in more practical terms, the International Day against Dams. Dams are, of course, problematic objects. But the fight against them knows the answers to all questions in advance. And March 14 is also Pi Day. It was invented in 1987 by the San Francisco physicist Larry Shaw, who noticed that March 14 in the American system of notation of dates turns into 3/14 - and, thus, resembles the approximate value of this mathematical constant. And if on this day we take the time of 1 hour 59 minutes 26 seconds in the afternoon, we get the number "pi" with an accuracy of the seventh decimal place. Those who wish can go on even ad infinitum.
On March 14, 1583, Yermak Timofeevich and his retinue occupied the city of Isker, the capital of the Siberian Tatars. But in August 1584, the defeated Kuchum attacked Ermak's Cossacks. Ermak drowned while swimming across the Irtysh. Does it remind you of anything? That's right, the death of Chapaev. There is a suspicion that in a few centuries some future creator of the "new chronology" will, in the manner of our Anatoly Fomenko (born March 13, 1945), prove that Ermak and Chapaev are one and the same person ...
On this day in 1741, the largest in Austria "Burgtheater" opened in Vienna, originally bearing the name "Royal Theater at the Palace" and intended exclusively for the amusement of the aristocracy. In 1751, an Austrian drama troupe made its debut on its stage, gradually ousting the previously dominant Italian and French artists. In 1776, the theater was renamed "Court and National" and since that time has become the center of the dramatic art of Austria.
On the spring day of 1797 we are considering, the American Eli Whitney received a patent for a machine he had invented a year earlier for quickly and efficiently separating cotton fiber from seeds, husks and other impurities. It was a wooden drum studded with metal hooks, which had to be rotated by hand or by horse or mechanical traction. It was the hooks, picking up the fibers, dragging them through a fine wire mesh, freeing them from adhering debris. Before that, cotton had to be peeled with the fingers, it was time consuming and very expensive, so cotton fabrics were considered a luxury. Now labor productivity has increased hundreds of times. Whitney's device breathed new life into the plantations of the South of the United States and is believed to have delayed the escalation of the issue of the abolition of slavery by half a century.
On the day of our review in 1808, the German physician and anatomist Franz Joseph Gall, the creator of the pseudoscientific doctrine of the connection between the human psyche and the relief of the skull - phrenology, presented to the Institut de France in Paris "Investigation of the nervous system in general and the brain in particular." Gall's ideas won over many serious scientists, but there were more amateurs among his admirers. Everything changed when Napoleon heard about a visiting foreigner. The emperor scolded the academicians for servility to German science, but most of all they got it for condescension to a man who had the audacity to declare that the sloping forehead of Bonaparte himself testifies to a purely practical mindset and aversion to philosophical thinking. Yet Gall secured a comfortable existence for himself thanks to the success of his sessions in Paris.
"Vice and lack of beginning." This is how Nicholas I defined the revolutionary events in Europe in his manifesto of March 14, 1848, declaring his readiness to restore order with the help of weapons.
On this spring day of our review of 1875, the premiere of the children's pantomime "Cinderella, or The Crystal Slipper" took place at the Ciniselli Italian circus. In the play, all the roles were played by children, the youngest was 3 years old. The pantomime was such a success that it stayed in the repertoire for 35 years and was played 500 times. The Ciniselli Circus made a great contribution to the development of circus art in Russia. A family of Italian circus entrepreneurs headed by Gaetano Ciniselli first came to Russia in 1869. The best artists of Europe performed in their circus: famous clowns - Billy Hayden and Jacomino, grotesque horsewoman Mademoiselle Adele, Russian clowns, trainers brothers Anatoly and Vladimir Durov. In the circus there were magnificently decorated pantomimes and water extravaganzas - "Robert and Bertram", "Fiametta - the queen of robbers", "Nibelungs", championships in classical wrestling were held. Ciniselli's circus was loved no less than opera, which was fashionable in those days.
On the spring day of 1917 we are considering, the Petrograd Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies issued Order No. 1 for the Petrograd garrison on the legalization of the soldiers' committees, at whose disposal all weapons were transferred. The officers were stripped of their disciplinary authority over the soldiers. And in Kiev, the Congress of cooperators of the Kiev region began (lasted 2 days). The resolution of the congress proclaimed a course towards the autonomy of Ukraine and the organization of village committees in the villages to ensure the implementation of the UCR policy on the ground.
On this day in 1919, the Central Committee of the Bolshevik Party handed the American Commissioner William Bullitt a list of conditions on which the Soviets were ready to make peace with the White Army.
US President Woodrow Wilson expressed his readiness to cooperate with Lenin. But US Foreign Secretary Lasing was wary. Bullitt went to Moscow with the assignment to assess the situation, to clarify under what conditions the Soviet government agreed to peace. The parties could not agree, Bullitt's mission failed, and Washington had to abandon attempts to improve relations with Moscow. 15 years later, Bullitt returned to the Soviet Union as an American ambassador.
On March 14, 1923, the Dobrolet Russian Volunteer Air Fleet Society was organized.

In the Czech town of Mistek, a company of soldiers under the command of Captain Pavlik engaged the German forces in battle - the only case of organized resistance to the German invasion.
On this spring day in 1953, Nikita Khrushchev achieved the separation of party and state power: Georgy Malenkov easily left the post of secretary of the Central Committee, retaining the post of head of government. The leadership of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the CPSU passed to Khrushchev. What happened can be considered a tragic mistake by Malenkov and Beria, who considered it more important to maintain control over state power. Of course, Stalin, as chairman of the Council of Ministers, was an omnipotent master, but he would have been like that without this post.
The Grammy, also called the Music Oscar, was established by the Recording Industry Association of the United States on March 14, 1958. The idea for its creation was born to professional musicians in Los Angeles in 1957, when the 80th anniversary of the invention of the gramophone by Thomas Edison was celebrated. Hence the name "Grammy" and the shape of the prize statuette (gilded gramophone). The first award ceremony took place in 1958. The ceremony was opened by Frank Sinatra, who later received this award twice.
On March 14, 1966, the first part of Sergei Bondarchuk's four-part epic War and Peace was released on a wide screen. The film was called "Andrei Bolkonsky". This 1968 adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's great novel was awarded the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film by the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts. There were also prestigious awards at international film festivals in Venice and Moscow. The first attempt to film Tolstoy's novel was made by Gardinny and Protazanov back in 1915. Several years later, the film Natasha Rostova, directed by Chardinin, appeared. The third film "War and Peace" (directed by Kamensky) was also shot, but it never made it to the screen. And then the Americans took up the most ambitious work of the Russian classic. In 1956, they, led by director Peter Yates, completed the filming of their "version" of War and Peace. This film version of the novel starred some of the most famous actors of Hollywood of its golden times: Audrey Hepburn as Natasha Rostova, Henry Fonda - Pierre Bezukhov and Mel Ferrer - Prince Andrei Bolkonsky, as well as Philip Noiret, Peter O "Toole, Shian Phillips and John Halam Six screenwriters worked hard to shorten and simplify Leo Tolstoy's novel (I must say, it was not easy.) In 1957, the American drama was nominated for an Oscar, but this award went to Bondarchuk's film, almost 10 years later. In the American version, the most memorable were the shots of military operations directed by Mario Soldati, but even here the Soviet cinema surpassed the "dream factory": the scene of the Battle of Borodino is still considered the most grandiose episode in the history of cinema (even without the use of any computer special effects). took part ... one hundred twenty thousand people! It is known that the director was extremely careful about details, even in the background, and therefore achieved such an impressive credibility. The main roles were played by Vyacheslav Tikhonov, Oleg Tabakov, Oleg Efremov, Anastasia Vertinskaya, Irina Skobtseva, and Sergei Bondarchuk himself - in the role of Pierre Bezukhov. "Andrei Bolkonsky" was watched by 58 million viewers. The film won first place at the 1966 box office. The world premiere of the film "War and Peace" (with subtitles) took place two years later, in 1968 in Paris. Well, in 2002, Bondarchuk's film was digitized in DVD format with translation into 17 languages of the world. So, the classics do not age, but on the contrary ...
On March 14, 1966, China, preparing for the great proletarian cultural revolution, rebuked US Vice President Hubert Humphrey, who proposed establishing friendship between the two countries.

On this spring day in 1974, a decree was published in the newspapers on awarding the titles of People's Artists of the USSR to two stars of Russian cinema: Nona Mordyukova and Evgeny Matveev. In those days, they were preparing for filming in the next films: Mordyukova was supposed to play one of the main roles with Alexei Saltykov in "The Ivanov Family" and star in an episode with Sergei Bondarchuk in the Sholokhov film adaptation of "They Fought for the Motherland", and Matveyev - the main role in his own film "Earthly Love".

newsToday pi has been reduced to 3.14. In principle, it becomes clear why the holiday is celebrated precisely on March 14 (14 is the day, 3 is the designation of the month). Researchers argue that the discovery of the number "Pi" can be attributed to the Babylonian magicians, since it was this word that was used in the construction of the Tower of Babel. However, it is believed that insufficiently correct definition of its meaning led to the ashes of the project. It is also possible that the number "Pi" was the basis for the construction of the legendary temple of King Solomon.
It is interesting that the holiday of the number "Pi" coincides with the birthday of the famous scientist Albert Einstein - one of the outstanding physicists of our time.
It is known that earlier the Slavs celebrated the New Year on March 1 according to the Julian calendar. The adoption of the Gregorian calendar led to the fact that the holiday was postponed 13 days in advance and began to be celebrated on March 14. This was the time when the arrival of spring was celebrated, field work began - therefore, in fact, the New Year was originally celebrated in the spring, as during the birth of a new life in the cycle of nature.
Therefore, the holiday received such a name as Small Oat. Its meaning just assumed that field work (in particular, sowing) is carried out in small quantities, in part, but the fields are already being cultivated, which means that spring is coming soon.
However, with the adoption of Christianity, March 14 also began to be celebrated as the Day of the Monk Martyr Eudokia, and she became a prototype of spring. The very same New Year, as you know, by order of Peter the Great was postponed to January 1.
In 1998, the first anti-dam world movement was organized, as a result of which more than 50 protests were held in more than 20 countries of the world, including Japan, Thailand, Brazil, USA, Russia, Australia, India, etc. The following year, there were no longer 10,000 participants, as initially, but 100,000, and every year their number grew. All of them say that the violation of the natural course of the river negatively affects the state of the environment and leads to various disasters in the form of hurricanes, floods, etc.
March 14 Mother Language Day is celebrated in Estonia. The Estonian dialect belongs to the group of the Uralic languages. According to the latest data, it is spoken by about 1.1 million people, of which 950 thousand live in Estonia. On this day, various lectures, seminars and even theatrical performances are held on the emergence, development and use of the Estonian language.
The holiday has been celebrated by Ukrainians since 1999, when the President of Ukraine adopted Order No. 1556/99 to support the initiative of the State Committee of Ukraine on Land Resources, which, together with the Union of Land Surveyors, initiated the introduction of a professional Day of Land Surveyor. This is not surprising, since the profession of land surveyor in Ukraine has always been prestigious and in demand in view of the country's high natural and agricultural potential.
On March 14, 1886, the famous artist, engraver Vladimir Favorsky was born, who was classified as a truly Russian intelligentsia.

International Pi Day
For the first time this Day was celebrated in 1988 in the popular science museum Exploratorium in San Francisco, and this unofficial holiday invented a year earlier by the physicist from San Francisco Larry Shaw, who noticed that in the American system of notation of dates (month / day) day 14 March - 3/14 - coincides with the first digits of the number π = 3.14 ...Looking at this sign, it immediately becomes obvious why Pi Day is celebrated today.

The beginning of Lent
In 2016, the time of Lent is from March 14 to April 30. Fasting of the Holy Lent is called Great Lent due to the special importance of its establishment. Traditionally, the Holy Forty and all divine services begin with Maslenitsa (cheese-season) Vespers. During the evening service on Forgiveness Sunday, there is a rite or rite of general forgiveness in the church. The first day of Great Lent in the Russian Orthodox Church was named “Clean Monday,” due to the fact that people strive to spend this first day of Lent in cleanliness. Therefore, on "Clean Monday", as in the next two days, a very strict fast is established, believers are instructed to pray more diligently and fight sinful passions.

In ancient times, the Slavs celebrated the New Year on the first spring day - March 1, which, according to the new style, falls on March 14.
