On March 1, 2002, Russian Minister of Internal Affairs B. Gryzlov signed a decree according to which October 3 becomes Riot Day. “Mobile Special Forces Unit” (renamed from “Special Forces Police Unit”), created back in 1988. Initially, its effect extended to three more republics of the USSR (Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan), and 14 regions of the RSFSR. The main task of the riot police is to ensure law and order at public events, to support patrol groups of the city police and road traffic police posts. In addition, individual OMON units are involved in order to maintain order in hot spots, the armament of these units is much better, employees undergo a special training program to respond in emergency situations or natural disasters, and are involved in the detention of especially dangerous criminals. Particular attention in the training of employees is given to the elaboration of actions to combat crimes related to terrorism. The professional holiday is celebrated on October 3 for 9 years.

In Germany today is celebrated a very important national day for the Germans - German Unity Day. On this day in 1990, West and East Germany reunited after nearly half a century of existence apart. In the former Federal Republic of Germany, before this the national holiday was celebrated on June 17, after reunification with East Germany it was abolished. Residents of Germany actively participate in the celebration - meetings are held, city halls and land parliaments hold open meetings with political holiday speeches. Burgeldelegation citizen delegations participate in various meetings. On the squares of cities, mass festivals and concerts are held, in the evening everyone can watch magnificent fireworks. If you compare this holiday with the day of the Bastille in France or Independence Day in America, we can say that the celebrations are much more modest. However, a cultural event of enormous scope is being held in Berlin, at the same time at many concert venues in the city. The peaceful revolution in 1989 in the German Democratic Republic gave new life to a united Germany.

In South Korea, this holiday has been celebrated for more than four millennia. The foundation day of the state is considered one of the main holidays of the citizens of Korea. A national flag is hoisted in the country and a state holiday is declared. In total, South Korea has 5 public holidays. They are established by law and national holidays back in 1949. The inhabitants of Korea worship the legendary Tangun Wangom, who is considered the king-god, and in 2333 BC created a state. Dangun Wanggeom (King God), having transformed from the son of a heavenly lord to a female bear, set up an altar on Mount Mani Mountain at the foundation of the state, so he thanked his father and grandfather in heaven. The progenitor state of Korea was called the Ancient Joseon (Gojoseon). On October 3, a festive ceremony in honor of Tangun Wangomom is held on this mountain, which looks very simple.

On this day, the memory of the great martyr Eustathius of Rome, the military leader who served the emperors Titus and Troyan, is honored. The image of the crucified Savior appeared to him between the horns of a deer on the hunt, after which it was decided to adopt Christianity. His wife and two sons also received baptism. Eustathius had to endure many misfortunes, but neither separation from his family, nor loss of property and livestock could not break him. Having passed the test, he again found his wife and relatives, and became a military leader. When the next emperor, Adrian, came to power, Eustathius refused to make sacrifices and perform idolatry, for which he was martyred with his family. This day since ancient times was called the "Astafiev's winds" and observed the direction of the wind. The saint himself is called "Windmill." "Everyone blows a windmill" - a catch phrase that has come down to our times. The north wind predicts a cold, southern heat, western rain and eastern good harvest of winter bread. On this day, it is important to remember other signs, for example, a spider web flying in the air in warm weather suggests that the cooling is not coming soon. At Astafiy Vetryak, the professional holiday of the windmill millers was celebrated. On this day, they begin to collect late cabbage, slightly frosted heads of cabbage acquire a special taste and are well suited for pickling.
