Mother's Day in Russia
There is probably not a single country where Mother's Day is not celebrated. Mother's Day has been celebrated in Russia relatively recently. Established by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 120 of January 30, 1998, it is celebrated on the last Sunday of November, paying tribute to maternal labor, their selfless sacrifice for the good of their children and "in order to increase the social significance of motherhood."
The initiative to establish Mother's Day was initiated by the State Duma Committee on Women, Family and Youth Affairs. Since then, Russian mothers have received their official holiday.
