This year, on the day of the city in Moscow, solemn arches were installed along Tverskaya, on Manezhnaya and on Revolution Square. The idea of this year is to remember how Moscow celebrated the anniversary year of its 800th anniversary in 1947.

Let's take a walk through the festival Moscow of 1947 and the new Moscow before the City Day —>

The idea to celebrate the birthday of Moscow appeared in the 19th century. In 1847, the Mother See celebrated its 700th anniversary. The next honoring of the capital took place only a century later.
In 1947, against the backdrop of a difficult post-war life, the celebration was organized on a grand scale. Folk festivities, illuminations, fireworks, demonstrations and round dances made a huge impression on Muscovites who were unaccustomed to a cheerful life. Moscow itself was awarded the Order of Lenin for the holiday.

The celebration of the birthday of the capital began on September 6 with a solemn meeting at the Bolshoi Theater, which was attended by high-ranking guests from all the republics of the USSR and from abroad.

In our time, on the opposite side of the Bolshoi Theater, a triumphal arch of Stalinist architecture was installed during the holidays:

On September 7, 1947, the holiday spilled onto the streets. Red Square, Revolution Square, Pushkinskaya Square, Gorky Street and the Dynamo Stadium became the centers of festivities.

As part of the celebration of the City Day on September 7, 1947, several official events took place.

Laying of the monument to Yuri Dolgoruky on Sovetskaya (Tverskaya) Square.

Tverskaya Square is now also decorated with a Stalinist arch:

Not many people know that Stalin's skyscrapers were also laid down on September 7, 1947. Moreover, it was originally planned to build eight buildings - each, as it were, symbolized the century lived by the capital. True, only seven skyscrapers were built, as a result, the concept of eight skyscrapers in honor of eight centuries was forgotten.

Interestingly, the tradition of dancing on Pushkinskaya continues. There is a suspicion that some of today's participants danced here back in the same 1947:

And these are not individual couples, but quite a lot of people (including young people) regularly come to the square:

Reasons for postponing City Day

Traditionally, the capital celebrates its birthday on the first weekend of September, but several times the holiday coincided with the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism (September 3). In this regard, it was decided to conduct a survey on the transfer of folk festivals on the website and in the Active Citizen mobile application. As a result of the voting, it was decided to postpone the holiday to September 10 and 11.

To do this, the Moscow City Duma approved the expansion of the dates for celebrating the Day of the City of Moscow: now, in addition to the first Saturday of September, the holiday can be held on the second Saturday of September if it coincides with the Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism. This date is connected with the tragic events of the hostage-taking on September 1-3 at the Beslan school in 2004. Day of the city once every few years coincides with the date of mourning.
