may 1 celebrated the holiday known as international workers ‘ Day or the Feast of Spring and Work. The fact that labor day in many countries is the official day, much less paradoxical than it might seem at first glance.
the history of the holiday is counted from 21 April 1856, when the workers of Australia first came up with the requirement of the working day. May 1, 1886, anarchist organizations in the US and Canada staged a series of rallies and demonstrations. In the dispersal of a demonstration in Chicago on 4 may 1886 killed six demonstrators. This led to clashes between police and protesters in the following days, and a number of demonstrators were executed on false charges. In memory of the executed anarchists in July 1889 Paris Congress of II internatsionala proposed to declare may 1 Day of solidarity of workers all over the world and to celebrate his demonstration.
it is believed that in Soviet times this holiday was of great political significance, but now he is often perceived as an extra reason to go to the country, as evidenced by the results of some opinion polls.
today, may 1 is celebrated as international labour day in most of the countries. In some countries, however, on that date have other holidays — for example, in Kazakhstan it since 1996, he declared “Prazdnikom unity of people of Kazakhstan”, and in Finland on 1 may have a spring carnival for students.
In the United States of America labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday of September.
