Chemist's Day is a holiday that is known not only in narrow circles of specialists, but also among the general public. After all, in spite of everything, he is very popular. This is largely due to its glorious traditions, which acquire something new every year.
If you delve into the depths of history, you can remember that for the first time this holiday appeared at Lomonosov Moscow State University. That is, it was the day of the Moscow State University chemist. From the very beginning of existence, a very interesting and funny tradition appeared. Every year, the day of the chemist without fail passes under the sign of the next chemical element, presented in the periodic system of Mendeleev. That is, the first holiday was held under the symbol of hydrogen. By the way, chemists celebrate their day on the last Sunday in May.
As for the time of the official establishment of the holiday - it was May 10, 1965. Such was the decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR. However, despite this, the first who decided to celebrate the holiday were people from the Faculty of Chemistry of Moscow State University. Subsequently, other universities joined them.countries. However, for some reason, it so happened that some of them did not recognize the last Sunday of May as their professional holiday.
Thus, in St. Petersburg the day of the chemist is celebrated on the first Saturday of April, but in Kharkov it takes place on the last Sunday of April. In Donetsk, it was decided to celebrate this holiday on the last Friday of May. And even some chemistry faculties of Moscow claim that their professional holiday falls on the second May weekend. And in Minsk it is the 3rd-4th weekend of May. In general, there is no definite unambiguity in resolving this issue.
And of course, Chemist's Day brings together all workers in the chemical industry. This also applies to students, graduate students, teachers, and so on.
In general, it is worth noting that officially, as a science, chemistry was formed in 1961. It was in this year that the Irish scientist Robert Boyle published his book The Skeptic Chemist. At that time, he was quite bold in expressing his opinion about what chemistry was. Then Boyle defined chemistry as the process of studying the composition of all kinds of substances and the process of searching for completely new elements.
But for the first time the term "chemistry" was introduced by the Roman astronomer Firmicus, and it happened in 336 AD.
It is also worth noting that the day of the chemist on the last Sunday of May, in addition to Russia, is also celebrated in Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
With regards to the celebration itself, it should be noted that to itsThey try to prepare quite seriously for the professional holiday of a chemist - these are interesting scenarios, contests, games. Also very popular on the day of the chemist is a congratulation that has a humorous color. Well, and as noted above, every year this day passes under the symbol of one of the chemical elements presented in the periodic system, so the whole holiday "revolves" precisely around the next element. In a way, this is reminiscent of the celebration of the New Year under the symbol of a certain animal.
