Defender of the Fatherland Day / Defender’s Day is meant to honor men and women who are serving or served in the army. Unofficially, however, the holiday is considered to be Men’s Day.  On that day women often give small gifts to their husbands, boyfriends, fathers, sons, and male co-workers. Russian authorities may organize local parades to honor the military and veterans on this day. #ЕГЭ
