Tip 1: Police Day: History and Modernity

During the Soviet Union, the Day of Soviet Militia, celebrated on November 10, was one of the most popular professional holidays. After the collapse of the USSR, the name of the holiday changed many times.

When there was a Soviet police and how this date was marked

Earlier, the Day of Soviet police was accompanied bya big solemn concert with the participation of the best musical groups and entertainers. This concert was broadcast on television, and the whole country. The only exception was 1982, since it was on November 10 that the party political leader of the country, L.I. Brezhnev. After the February Revolution of 1917, Russia, already experiencing hard times because of years of exhausting war and rapid growth of separatist sentiments in many regions, literally swept the criminality tree. The criminal situation worsened month after month, becoming especially tense before the October coup. And there was no one to fight crime, because the former law enforcement bodies actually ceased to exist. The new government headed by Ulyanov-Lenin was forced to react quickly to this circumstance, and already on October 28 (November 10, according to a new style) in 1917, a resolution was adopted "On the Workers' Militia." However, until 1962 this date was not considered to be either nationwide, nor even a professional holiday, although police officers committed many heroic deeds, fighting crime, as well as during the Great Patriotic War. Only on September 26, 1962 the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree, according to which the day of the Soviet militia became a professional holiday. This decree was later (with minor changes) confirmed twice: in 1980 and 1988. The concert dedicated to the day of the police until 1987 was held in the Hall of Columns of the House of Unions, and from 1987 to the beginning of 2000 - in the Rossiya Concert Hall. Subsequently, the venue for this concert was the State Kremlin Palace.

How the name of the holiday changed

After the collapse of the USSR, the old nameholiday became impossible. It became known as the Day of the Russian Militia. And after the new law "On Police" came into force on March 1, 2011, the name was changed again. According to the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of October 13, 2011, this holiday was renamed "The Day of the Employee of the Internal Affairs Bodies of the Russian Federation". On this day, police officers serve in a dress uniform. A big concert is shown on television.

Tip 2: Who are Nashidy?

A variety of musical styles that havetheir loyal fans and admirers, are for certain life moments. Even representatives of religious movements choose for themselves a certain character of chanting that is peculiar only to them. For Muslims, for example, the direction of "Nashida" is typical.

The kind of musical performance of "Nashida" isa kind of chant, reproduced without the use of any musical instruments, it is peculiar to Islam and the traditions of its religious cult. Traditionally, Nashi are sung only by male representatives who perform either solo or in the choir.

Traditions and modernity

It is forbidden to use musical instrumentson religious requirements and considerations. Theologians do not take any extraneous sounds in the process of chanting. However, in modern Nashods, contrary to traditions, nevertheless a large number of directions appeared, in which some instruments and extraneous sounds are still used. Islamic Nashid have a poetic pronunciation. They are melodic and even without musical instruments do not lose their sound. Nashid is not at all a call directed to future generations. They have helped the Muslims to establish their everyday life and return to everyday affairs after certain situations, many of them assure that they are akin to internal meditation, which brings people back from vanity to themselves.

History

At different times Nashods had different names. For the first time mention of them is found in the writings belonging to the beginning of the third century. Such hymns referred to as the touch or tagbir. The Imams did not recognize Nashida and considered them heresy, for example, Imam Ahmad actively encouraged his followers not to contact this dubious innovation. However, this could not stop the spread of sludge. These songs contain texts that do not come from the Muslim point of view under the category of taboo. The Muslims recognize that the Nashidae are not the same as they were before. Previously, they contained the meaning of knowledge, jihad and iman. Now, in the texts, the notes of debauchery are increasingly traced, which Islam can not accept, it is the sounds of musical instruments. According to the adherents of traditions, performers increasingly prefer to get a more acceptable melody than the meaning. For them, the musical qualities of the Nashods are more important than the preservation of the meaning that has been invested in these hymns for many centuries. Today Nashidas are performed even in English, which Muslims consider a manifestation of an absolutely disrespectful attitude towards them.
