Seasons

Seasons, four periods of the year (spring, summer, autumn and winter) characterized by certain average temperatures. The period during which the Sun passes through one of these sectors is called the season. Spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the Sun passes through the initial circle of declination and its right ascension is 0° (vernal equinox). Summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere occur when the sun's right ascension is 90° (summer solstice). Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere begin when the sun's right ascension is 180° (autumnal equinox). The beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere is considered to be the winter solstice, when the direct ascension of the Sun is 270°... Next: Seasons.

Folk calendar about every day

Every day one season always replaces another and this determines a person’s way of life. In connection with this, a folk calendar was formed in which there were practically no nameless, unmarked days. Every day was special, had its own purpose. All this was determined by climate conditions and astrological phenomena.

A calendar is a system for counting periods of time. The first calendars arose a long time ago, in ancient times, because there was a need to measure time. The word calendar comes from the Latin words caleo - to proclaim and calendarium - debt book. This is due to the fact that in Ancient Rome the beginning of each month was especially proclaimed, and because it was customary to pay debts on the first day of the month. Different peoples counted time differently. Some calendars are based on the changing phases of the moon - lunar calendars; in others - the change of seasons - sunny; in others, the length of the year was coordinated with the change of seasons, and the counting of months was associated with the phases of the Moon. Such calendars are called lunisolar.

In Rus', the calendar was called a monthly calendar. Every day, the month book covered the entire year of peasant life, “describing” day by day, month after month, where each day had its own holidays or weekdays, customs and superstitions, traditions and rituals, natural signs and phenomena. The cyclical nature of the calendar is reminiscent of human life, where spring is youth, summer is heyday, autumn is the time of harvesting fruits (it’s good if there are some, otherwise you can live your life without collecting fruits), winter is the time of wisdom and peace. This cyclicality and rhythm determined the way of life of the farmer. The folk calendar was an agricultural calendar, which was reflected in the names of the months, folk signs, rituals and customs. Even the determination of the timing and duration of the seasons is associated with real climatic conditions. Hence the discrepancy between the names of the months in different areas...

Fishing calendar for every day

The fishing calendar should not be taken as an absolutely indisputable truth. Fish biting is greatly influenced by a whole range of natural factors, as well as the influence on the nature of man himself. You must not forget that the fish’s bite depends and is determined not only by the calendar dates and biological cycles of their life, reflected in the calendar, but also, no less, by the state of their habitat; the bite also depends on weather conditions: air and water temperatures, cloudiness, wind direction and strength, etc...

Orthodox calendar about every day

Orthodox calendar: Orthodox, Church and Christian holidays.

The church year is an alternation of weekdays and holidays. On weekdays, a person is called to work “by the sweat of his brow to earn his bread.” Holidays are given in order to feel liberation, to rise above the bustle and routine of the world, to feel involved in the highest of worlds, “where there are no illnesses, sorrows and sighs, but endless life.” Since ancient times, holiday cycles have been associated with the seasons. The pagans associated them with the worship of the forces of nature, the cult of which in the Old Testament was replaced by gratitude to the Creator for the universe. And although the connection between holidays and the seasons has not completely lost its power, since God is present in everything, in the plant and animal world, in human works, it nevertheless faded into the background, giving way to a spiritual foundation built on the Sacred Scriptures. The history of Orthodox holidays dates back to the times of the Old Testament. Each of the Orthodox holidays is dedicated to the remembrance of the most important events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God, as well as the memory of saints...

Week of threats in the Volga region: regions scare residents with lockdown and Tatarstan’s experience

On Monday, November 22, passenger carriers of the Republic of Tatarstan, by decision of the government of Tatarstan, stopped allowing unvaccinated residents into their cabins. Things came to a scuffle; because of the scandals, buses, trams and trolleybuses in Kazan stood empty for 18 hours and 39 minutes Photo: “BUSINESS Online”

First rally and arrests: Tatarstan led the anti-vaxxer movement in the Volga region. Kazan among the neighbors' anti-heroes

The incidence of coronavirus in Russia has been decreasing for the third week in a row - over the past 7 days, the average number of daily infections fell by 6% to 35.4 thousand people.
But mortality holds its ground. This week, an average of 1,243 Russians died a day - 5 more than a week ago. In Tatarstan, by the morning of November 26, according to official statistics, another 249 residents fell ill with coronavirus infection, which is 6.7% lower than the same indicator a week ago. 10 sick people died - 3 patients more than on November 19.

On Monday, November 22, passenger carriers of the Republic of Tatarstan, by decision of the government of Tatarstan, stopped allowing unvaccinated residents into their cabins. Things came to a scuffle; because of the scandals, buses, trams and trolleybuses in Kazan stood empty for 18 hours and 39 minutes. The patience of the anti-vaxxers ran out on November 25 - about 100 people held an uncoordinated rally at the Kazan City Hall, and the next day the participants were fined 5-10 thousand rubles. This is the first public performance of unvaccinated people in the republic and the Volga Federal District since the beginning of the “quardown.” Before this, opponents of QR codes in the Republic of Tatarstan were only sued in the Supreme Court, and dissent came out to rallies in the cities of the Urals, Siberia and the Far East.

By the morning of November 26, almost 2 million people had been vaccinated against COVID-19 in Tatarstan—that’s 65% of the adult residents of the republic. However, the “quarddown” in the transport of the Republic of Tatarstan has not yet affected the number of vaccinated people: the vaccination rate over the week decreased by 17% to 14.3 thousand people per day. And passenger traffic in public transport fell by 30%. Apparently, the authorities did not take into account the self-organization of the residents of Kazan and other cities of the Republic of Tatarstan. Telegram channels in the spirit of “I’ll give you a ride from Kvartal to Zalesnoye” swelled by leaps and bounds, but by the minute. Since Monday, the number of subscribers of two popular groups has exceeded 22 thousand users.

Now let’s see how the situation in the constituent entities of the Volga Federal District has changed over the past week.

By the morning of November 26, 472 Covid patients had been added, and 16 people had died. 8 days ago there were 500 sick and 9 deaths Photo: BUSINESS Online

Ulyanovsk: “Do you want it to be like in Tatarstan?”

In the Ulyanovsk region , restrictions remain, the incidence rate is falling, but the same cannot be said about mortality. By the morning of November 26, 472 Covid patients had been added, and 16 people had died. 8 days ago there were 500 cases and 9 deaths.

If you don’t get vaccinated, it will be like in Tatarstan,” in this spirit, the head of Ulyanovsk, Dmitry Vavilin, invited residents to vaccination points. “I wouldn’t like to wish this on our citizens,” Vavilin commented on the codes in public transport in the Republic of Tatarstan.

Due to the scandal, deputies of the Legislative Assembly of the Ulyanovsk region this week postponed consideration of the draft federal law on the “quararization” of public places. In the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan, this bill also caused a discussion, but was approved, as in other regions of the Volga region. Moscow initially wavered in the face of protests from the regions: a bill on the universal introduction of QR codes was not found in the State Duma’s work schedule for December. But then the project appeared - the initiative will be considered on December 16.

In Bashkortostan, the rules of the New Year’s “quardown” were described, and in the Nizhny Novgorod region even Koschey was vaccinated - that’s why he is immortal

In Bashkortostan, by November 26, another 674 people were infected - 3 less than last week, but the number of deaths increased by 35% to 38 - this is an anti-record since the beginning of the pandemic. Of the 3.3 thousand who died from COVID-19 in the Republic of Belarus, 3 thousand were elderly people. Since the beginning of the pandemic in the republic, three heads of municipalities have died due to Covid, and on November 24, the Chairman of the Supreme Court of Bashkortostan, Zemfira Latypova .

In Ufa, one Covid hospital was closed, and in memory of the health workers who died from the coronavirus, an alley will appear in the capital of the republic.

The New Year holidays are ahead, so Prime Minister of the Republic of Belarus Andrei Nazarov asked to increase the pace of vaccination. Only vaccinated parents will be allowed into kindergartens for matinees. New Year's performances in Bashkortostan will be held without round dances around Christmas trees. But here, unlike Kazan, they have at least decided on New Year’s fun - entry to New Year’s corporate parties, cafes and restaurants with 50 or more seats is only by QR codes. And in Tatarstan, they still can’t decide whether to allow restaurants to open after 11 p.m. on New Year’s Day—Deputy Chief Sanitary Doctor of Tatarstan Lyubov Avdonina promised that Rospotrebnadzor will return to this topic after the first ten days of December.

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, the daily number of coronavirus cases decreased over the week from 784 to 731 people. By the morning of November 26, 38 residents had died - 3 less than on November 19. The occupancy of “Covid” beds fell by 37% to 6 thousand. Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region Gleb Nikitin abolished QR codes in public catering, cinema, hotels and fitness centers, but left restrictions on occupancy. If establishments leave a digital pass, then these restrictions do not need to be observed. The population has been given an unequivocal signal: only those who have been vaccinated will watch the ostentatiously chic New Year’s festive program in Nizhny Novgorod. But the signatures collected by anti-vaxxers in the Nizhny Novgorod region against forced vaccination so far remain unanswered by the prosecutor’s office and the regional Legislative Assembly.

Interest in vaccination against coronavirus this week in the region was supported by a fairy tale about the immortal Koshchei. The video was created by the Nizhny Novgorod puppet theater and the regional Ministry of Health, which is headed by the ex-captain of the KVN team “Team of Pyatigorsk” David Melik-Guseinov . “Not death in a needle, but strength, fool. I get vaccinated, so I don’t get sick,” Koschey explains the secret of his immortality.

The low pace of vaccination in Udmurtia does not suit the regional authorities - only 65% ​​of adult residents have been vaccinated Photo: BUSINESS Online

In Udmurtia, a new lockdown is not ruled out, and Moscow stopped the QR separatism of the head of Chuvashia

In Udmurtia, by the morning of November 26, another 305 people fell ill with COVID-19, and 17 died. A week ago, 379 cases and 13 deaths were counted in the republic. The low pace of vaccination does not suit the regional authorities - only 65% ​​of adult residents have been vaccinated. Because of this, Udmurtia is ready to tighten anti-Covid restrictions again, including a lockdown for the New Year holidays.

In Chuvashia , 163 people fell ill with coronavirus per day - 6 less than on November 19. 18 patients died, one less than last week. The head of Chuvashia, Oleg Nikolaev, threatens to close the region’s public catering facilities on New Year’s Eve in order to prevent a new surge in the incidence rate. Regional doctors warned about the approaching fifth wave of the pandemic last week.

The regional prosecutor's office demanded that Nikolaev allow unvaccinated people to visit authorities. The head of the region partially supported the request of the prosecutor's office and proposed preparing a list of state and municipal services, for which residents would be able to see officials without a digital pass.

There will be no referendum on banning QR codes on the initiative of residents of Chuvashia, although the region’s Central Election Commission first registered the application and even sent a petition to the State Council of Chuvashia, but then refused. The Supreme Court of Chuvashia is considering a lawsuit filed by vaccination opponents against the head of the region over the QR code regime.

In Chuvashia, they never began unofficially distributing the promised QR codes to those who had recovered from the disease, although Nikolaev promised to launch a regional resource last week. The algorithm was tested, but QR separatism was stopped by the Russian Ministry of Health - they have not yet decided how many antibodies should be equated to a vaccination.

The first prize draw was held in the Samara region among participants in the “Vaccination is Life” quiz Photo: “BUSINESS Online”

Mari El extended the “quardown” until February, and Samara raffled off the first apartment, LADA and money among vaccinated people

The head of Mari El, Alexander Evstifeev , tightened anti-Covid measures and prohibited visiting non-food stores without a code or a negative PCR test result. And at the end of the week he extended these and other restrictions. Moreover, the governor did not waste time on trifles: in such conditions, the homeland of Mari will have to live right up to February 5, 2022. In Mari El, 124 cases were identified in 24 hours, two people died. For comparison: on November 19, 127 people fell ill there, and one died - practically stability...

“There won’t be a New Year, let’s go! — wrote a resident of Yoshkar-Ola. — It seems that the pace of vaccination has increased, and the situation seems to have stabilized. Or maybe these codes still don’t help? I myself was vaccinated and I am not against stopping the infection around the world, but such segregation does not affect the spread in any way.”

The first prize draw among participants in the “Vaccination is Life” quiz took place in the Samara region On November 24, the first owners of an apartment, a LADA Vesta car and 1 thousand gift cards with a value of 4 thousand rubles were identified. It looks like an attempt by Governor Dmitry Azarov to appease the residents.

By the morning of November 19, another 1.1 thousand new cases of coronavirus infection were identified in the Samara region - this is still the fourth place in Russia. 34 people died. A week ago, 1.7 thousand cases of illness were detected in the region per day, and 29 patients died.

In Penza they did not suspend anti-vaxxers from work, in the Saratov region they closed 6 covidariums, but they are completing the construction of a new infectious disease center

In the Penza region, Rospotrebnadzor allowed employers not to suspend or fire anti-vaxxers from December 1. Governor Oleg Melnichenko fears “uncontrollable social tension,” telegram channels write. The head of the region relies on the explanation that the reluctance to get vaccinated hits the budget, which means it deprives the region of other projects.

“The burden on our healthcare system is greatly increasing due to the increase in the incidence of Covid,” Melnichenko said. — These are not just buildings, beds, devices, doctors. This is a big budget burden. In fact, this constrains our capabilities, so we need to explain to people that the reluctance to get vaccinated and get vaccinated results in huge budgetary expenses.”

By November 26, 383 people fell ill with COVID-19 in the region, and 18 died. A week ago, there were 396 cases and the same number of deaths. The incidence rate has declined, and regional hospitals in the region are closing covid-19 cases.

In the Saratov region, 6 “Covid” hospitals with 1 thousand beds were closed, and in the capital of the region, equipment is being completed and delivered to a new infectious diseases hospital with 400 beds with the possibility of increasing to 1.2 thousand beds. The hospital will relieve pressure on other medical facilities repurposed for treating COVID-19 patients. On November 26, 621 people became infected in the region, 24 died. For comparison: on November 19, 636 people became ill, and 25 residents died.

The Orenburg region, together with Chuvashia and Bashkortostan, is among the regions with low coverage of residents by testing for COVID-19 - less than 300 tests per 100 thousand inhabitants per day Photo: BUSINESS Online

The regime is being softened in the Kirov region, and restrictions have been extended in the Orenburg region

In the Kirov region, by the morning of November 26, another 263 people fell ill with coronavirus, two died. A week ago, 266 people were infected and five patients died. Everything seems to be as bad as it was, but Governor Igor Vasiliev ordered the preparation of a plan for easing restrictive measures. The government and the regional operational headquarters will take into account the number of cases, available beds in hospitals, and daily vaccination rates. So, from November 29, Vasiliev canceled QR codes in multifunctional centers of the region, but left a preliminary appointment. Other restrictions remain in effect.

In the Orenburg region on the morning of November 26, another 358 people fell ill, and 18 people died. A week ago, 387 people caught the virus and 20 patients died. Governor Denis Pasler extended the “quarddown” until December 7; the region, along with Chuvashia and Bashkortostan, was among the regions with low coverage of residents with testing for COVID-19 - less than 300 tests per 100 thousand inhabitants per day. Meanwhile, a new regional infectious diseases hospital for 379 patients was built near Orenburg by 52%.

Russian folk calendar for every day

The word “sign” comes from the word “notice”, i.e. observe. As a result of observing what happens around a person every day, he accumulates life experience. This knowledge was passed down from generation to generation, carefully preserved and people trusted it as a sacred book. Many signs have come to us from the depths of centuries without losing their knowledge. Each of us is free to choose: to dismiss all this as an absurd superstition or to take a closer look at the signs and take the centuries-old experience of generations more seriously. Most of us, when taking exams, ask them to scold them, boasting about some kind of good fortune or luck, spit so as not to jinx them or knock on wood, take a detour if a black cat crossed the road, are afraid of the number 13 and much more. And who among us does not have lucky things, numbers? Who has never resorted to the help of fate at least once in their life, who has not believed in secrets? It’s as if everything connected with signs is hidden somewhere deep in our subconscious. Often we remember them mechanically, unconsciously, or just as a joke. But, undoubtedly, the signs contain a lot of accurate knowledge and practical wisdom of our ancestors. They cover all the characteristic, often difficult to perceive, natural phenomena. Signs have preserved a lot of what was in old folk holidays and customs; they help predict the weather, grow crops... Next: Folk signs...

First of 13. How the Ulyanovsk region was born

Exactly in a week, on January 19, our region will celebrate the 75th anniversary of its formation.

This is where the disaggregation of regions began

75 years ago, our country, then called the USSR, was experiencing a turning point in its history. It was 1943 that was marked for the Soviet Union not only by great victories won on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War - at Stalingrad and on the Kursk Bulge, but also by numerous reforms. For example, people's commissariats were transformed into ministries, shoulder straps were introduced in the army, and in schools boys and girls began to study separately.

Fundamental changes also affected the administrative-territorial structure of the state. The war showed the need to disaggregate many regions of the country. As a result, in 1943-1944, 13 new regions appeared in the USSR. And the first on this list was the Ulyanovsk region, which was formed by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. The document was published on January 19, 1943. This day became the official date of the formation of our region.

From the “forge of officer personnel” to a developed industrial complex

During the Great Patriotic War, Ulyanovsk became one of the most important evacuation centers for a large number of enterprises, institutions, organizations, educational institutions and citizens. Four military educational institutions of the People's Commissariat of Defense were located in Ulyanovsk, thanks to which the city was spoken of as a “forge of officer personnel.” Of the divisions formed on Ulyanovsk soil, three were awarded the honorary title of Guards. The industrial potential of the city has changed dramatically. Industrial facilities evacuated to Ulyanovsk laid the foundation for a number of modern enterprises. In particular, on the basis of the Moscow workshops, our own automobile industry arose. And now the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant is known throughout the world as one of the largest manufacturers of SUVs.

Now the Ulyanovsk region is a developed industrial complex, the basis of which is about 450 large and medium-sized enterprises. The core of the industry is mechanical engineering, represented by the automotive and aircraft industries. Also in our region there are well-developed textile, light and food industries, machine tools and the production of building materials.

We work well, we have a cultural holiday

The Ulyanovsk region is one of the important agricultural regions of Russia. Cattle for meat and dairy production are raised in the region. They are engaged in poultry farming, pig farming, sheep farming, rabbit farming and fish farming. The leading place in crop production belongs to the production of industrial crops (sugar beets) and potatoes, grains (wheat, barley, rye, oats) and fodder crops (corn, alfalfa, sunflower). The region is actively involved in gardening and gardening. The leading position in the structure of mineral resources of the Ulyanovsk region is occupied by oil, glass, siliceous, carbonate and cement raw materials, as well as raw materials for rough ceramics. At the same time, the reserves of chalk, clays and diatomites for cement production in our region are practically unlimited.

“They will turn into a backwater.” The Ulyanovsk region is tipped for a possible unification with Tatarstan

The process of uniting individual regions may begin in Russia in the near future. This forecast is expressed by some political scientists. In addition, this information is confirmed by insiders in regional authorities. According to experts, the Ulyanovsk region may be among the first in the next round of mergers and acquisitions. Its main disadvantage is the rather low level of socio-economic development. Details are in the FederalPress article.

Uniting means strengthening

More on the topic

Deadline for the Ulyanovsk governor. Opponents test the strength of Sergei Morozov's chair

The topic of the possible unification of Russian regions is regularly on the agenda. Thus, several years ago, the head of state Vladimir Putin . In his opinion, from a socio-economic point of view, “indeed, sometimes it makes sense to talk about consolidation (of regions) so that a subject of the Federation becomes just a subject.”

Valentina Matvienko previously announced the possibility of consolidating Russian regions . In her opinion, today there are regions that cannot develop independently, without outside help.

Insiders in the Ulyanovsk political establishment claim that a new wave of rumors about the possible entry of the region into a neighboring entity coincided with actively circulated information about the allegedly sharply shaken positions of the head of the region, Sergei Morozov. This scenario is also supported by the fact that a possible replacement for Morozov, who has held his post for fifteen years, is the creature of the president of neighboring Tatarstan, Rustam Minnikhanov.

Mergers and acquisitions

The head of the analytical Yaroslav Ignatovsky, in a conversation with FederalPress, recalled that today there is talk about a possible merger of a number of entities at once: “So, they have long been talking about the unification of Moscow and the Moscow region. We are talking about the creation of “super-subjects” on the territory of the Central Federal District - the unification of Smolensk, Bryansk, Kaluga and Oryol regions and the unification of Lipetsk, Voronezh and Ryazan. The Ulyanovsk region also fits into a similar scenario - it can be united with either Tatarstan or the Samara region.”

In his opinion, this can be explained by purely economic reasons and the types of farms in the regions. Ignatovsky did not rule out that the intensification of rumors occurred against the backdrop of discussion of amendments to the Constitution. According to him, there is talk that the Jewish Autonomous Region will be united with the Khabarovsk Territory: “The absorption of the Jewish Autonomous Region by the Khabarovsk Territory can take place according to the principle of a more successful region absorbing a more depressed one. A similar scheme could theoretically be applied in the case of Ulyanovsk.” The expert admitted that not all regions during the period since the collapse of the USSR were able to develop stable and favorable economic conditions on their territory; This can sometimes be corrected only by uniting with a stronger one.

A source in the government of the Ulyanovsk region confirmed to FederalPress that the possibility of merging the region with its neighboring one “has been discussed for several years.” “Perhaps now this is due to the fact that finding a replacement for Sergei Morozov is not so easy - no one is particularly eager to go to Ulyanovsk. There’s not much to catch here: it’s not the most prosperous region, with a lot of debts and social problems. They don’t want to let communists take control. Therefore, the option of merging with Tatarstan or the Samara region may be quite preferable,” the agency’s interlocutor explained.

He confirmed that the Tatarstan authorities might be interested in this option: “The republic is developing very dynamically and is in dire need of new markets for its own products. From this point of view, Ulyanovsk seems to be quite an attractive site. Moreover, strong economic ties have long been built between the regions.”

"Other weight category"

Sergei Zhuravsky , told FederalPress .

He believes that many regions now “simply can’t handle it.” “They were burdened with more and more obligations, while investment activity fell. In the end, it seems, they decided to follow the well-known path - to transfer the weak to the strong. However, this model risks being flawed: firstly, there are not so many locomotive regions; secondly, lagging regions are unlikely to receive development. They lived poorly, but they will turn into an even bigger backwater, because I’m sure they will still be perceived as adopted children,” the publication’s interlocutor said. In his opinion, such a scheme is not an effective solution to the problem.

According to the General Director of the Institute of Regional Problems, Dmitry Zhuravlev , it is technically extremely difficult to unite the regions; a referendum will be required. “However, for Tatarstan this scenario may turn out to be attractive - the republic has never hidden its political and economic ambitions. Tatarstan has always wanted to expand, including through the annexation of areas inhabited by Tatars: Mordovia, the Penza region and, of course, the Ulyanovsk region,” he told FederalPress. According to Zhuravlev, the expansion of borders automatically means economic growth for the republic: “In this situation, Tatarstan will become a region with the second-largest economy after Moscow. The political component cannot be discounted: after unification, the region will move into a different weight category and will require special preferences for itself.”

The expert also admitted that in the event of unification, there will be a “fundamental change in the structure of the regional elites” - there will simply be no place left in them for representatives of the Ulyanovsk establishment. There will be one governor, one parliament and two senators instead of four, explains the political scientist.

Meanwhile, the idea under discussion should not be considered science fiction. This technology has already been successfully and repeatedly tested in the country. Thus, the first case of unification of Russian regions in the history of modern Russia was the creation of the Perm Territory - as a result of a referendum in 2003, residents of the Perm region and the Komi-Permyak Autonomous Okrug voted for the unification. Later, two years later, a referendum was held on the unification of the Taimyr (Dolgano-Nenets) and Evenki Autonomous Okrugs with the Krasnoyarsk Territory. The new region - Krasnoyarsk Territory - has existed since January 2007. In 2006, referendums were held on the unification of the Irkutsk region and the Ust-Orda Buryat Autonomous Okrug. The new region retained the name Irkutsk region. In the spring of 2007, referendums were held on the unification of the Chita region and the Aginsky Buryat Autonomous Okrug into the Trans-Baikal Territory.

Zodiac, astrological, eastern calendar. Zodiac signs

In ancient times, to establish the calendar, priests used knowledge of the positions of all the planets. Before the reform of Peter 1, the New Year was celebrated on the Day of the Autumn Equinox. On this day, according to ancient legend, the most peaceful treaty was concluded between the Great Race (ancient Slavs) and the Great Dragon (ancient Chinese) and it was approximately 7518 years ago... For the ancient Slavs, the calendar month corresponded to the lunar cycle from new moon to new moon, taking into account such Thus, the relationship of the entire annual cycle with astronomical and natural phenomena. There was no coherent calendar system. The main natural phenomena are still considered to this day to be the days of the solar equinox and solstice - the Slavic holidays Maslenitsa, Kupala, Ovsen and Kolyada. But during the time of Peter 1, all ancient Slavic calendars were abolished and a new Western European calendar from the Nativity of Christ (Julian calendar) was introduced, while the beginning of the calendar was moved to January 1. The Julian calendar (old style) did not take leap days into account and accumulated one extra day every 128 years. After the October Revolution in 1918, the Gregorian calendar (new style) was introduced in Russia, according to which an amendment of 13 days was introduced. The calendar of the ancient Slavs was based on two planets: the Sun and the Moon. And now they don’t use anything at all. The calendar has become static. There is no such thing as the calendar, it turns out, resting on some planet. Nobody even knows about it. There are just some standard numbers, there are months and holidays. The calendar is based on the Sun and Moon. Why is this so? Because these two luminaries influence the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun, and the Moon revolves around the Earth. And these two luminaries create the atmosphere on the planet. From here the calendar is built... Next: Astrological calendar...
