This holiday is familiar to many Russians as the International Children's Day. International Children's Day - one of the oldest international holidays. The decision to hold it was made in 1925 at the World Conference on Child Welfare in Geneva. History is silent, why this children's holiday, it was decided to celebrate it on June 1st. According to one version, in 1925, Consul General of China in San Francisco gathered a group of Chinese orphans and arranged for them at the celebration of Duan Jie (Dragon Boat Festival), the date of which just fell on June 1st. By happy coincidence, the day coincided with the timing of "child" conference in Geneva.
