This year, the best city on Earth celebrates its 878th anniversary. And it is the best not only according to the lyrics of the song of the same name by Muslim Magomayev, but also according to experts in the field of urban studies. In recent years, Moscow has regularly made it to the top of national and world rankings of the most comfortable cities according to various indicators: quality of life, infrastructure development, number of museums, level of implementation of unmanned technologies. Every year it becomes more beautiful and attractive, and we congratulate it on this.
The exact age of Moscow is, of course, unknown. The most ancient archaeological finds on the city's territory date back to the Neolithic era, about 8 thousand years BC. The year of the capital's foundation is considered to be 1147, according to its first mention in chronicle sources.
Despite its antiquity, City Day was first celebrated only in 1847, on the occasion of the 700th anniversary. The holiday was held on the initiative of the Slavophiles, whom Emperor Nicholas I disliked and therefore did not support the planned three-day festivities, approving only a ceremonial prayer service and candle illumination of the center of Moscow. The holiday did not take root and was celebrated again only 100 years later, during the Soviet Union. The idea was personally approved by Joseph Stalin, so the celebrations turned out to be truly grandiose. But the anniversary passed and no special events were held in the future. Moscow's founding day began to be celebrated regularly only in 1987.
Nowadays, it is hard to imagine the beginning of September without large celebrations on large and small squares of the capital. On City Day, fairs are held, performances are staged, exhibitions and sporting events are organized, new metro stations are opened. It is impossible to list everything, as if a whole year of life is compressed into two days of concentrated emotions.
The State University of Management congratulates all Muscovites on the holiday! Our university has been intertwined with the white-stone city for more than a century, changing and growing together with it. Many graduates of the State University of Management work for the benefit of the capital in various departments, directorates and prefectures, and students do their internships there. We are proud of our golden-domed city, we love it and try to make it even more beautiful. Let the heart of Russia charge each of us with its pulsating rhythm, ennoble us with its historical appearance, delight us with night lights and unite us in the very center of the country of great opportunities. Happy holiday, Moscow!
