Holidays April 18

The event is timed to coincide with the day of the victory in 1242 of the troops of Alexander Nevsky over the Livonian knights in the vicinity of Lake Peipsi (this battle went down in history as the “Battle on the Ice”). The Day of Military Glory was officially established by the law of the Russian Federation of 1995. So, the Battle on the Ice took place in 1242. Many historians boil down to the fact that good weapons and excellent training of the Russian militia led by A. Nevsky became the key factor that ensured the victory of the Russian troops. The battle plan invented by the prince turned out to be very thoughtful and very flexible, thanks to which the heavy cavalry of the opponents, which is an inactive, clumsy mass, was completely defeated.

International Day of Monuments and Historic Sites

The Day of Monuments and Historic Sites traditionally declares itself annually on April 18th. It was established by the initiative of UNESCO in 1983, and a year later the society celebrated it for the first time. Every year more and more more people learn about important event necessary for humanity to pay attention to the problems of preserving our cultural and historical heritage. On this day, various events are organized related to the protection of cultural heritage from acts of vandalism, as well as excursions and educational lectures for schoolchildren and youth.

In the context of this discussion, we can note the great Carl Rossi, whose compositions are the true heritage of Russia. Is it possible to imagine St. Petersburg without the Mikhailovsky Palace, the House of the Senate, the House of Arts, the Synod (St. Isaac's Square), the Alexandrinsky Theater or the building of the General Staff on Palace Square that he created? This is not a complete list of the works of Carl Rossi. After all, the great architect worked not only in St. Petersburg, but also in other Russian cities.

Today, unfortunately, Russian Federation the situation with respect to the preservation and restoration of historical monuments is not the best. The result is deplorable - protected areas and other places of interest are being destroyed, monuments are collapsing. The Russian authorities do not devote enough time to this aspect, but in this respect they should learn from Europe, where memorable places handled much more carefully.

Historical events April 18

For the first time, fingerprinting (identification of a person by a unique fingerprint pattern) was used in Denmark in 1902 to identify a criminal. Soon, the method of fingerprinting became widely practiced as the main indicator of guilt throughout the world (in Russia, the method began to be applied in 1906). At first, experts compared fingerprints “by eye”, over time this principle was automated. Today, each country owns its own database of fingerprints, which is divided into two types. The first type belongs to individuals who have ever been detained by law enforcement agencies, and the second - to those who decided to hand over their "fingers" voluntarily, "just in case the fireman." However, if a volunteer leaves prints at the crime scene, he will immediately be identified from a common database.

The possibilities of modern fingerprinting are very wide. Its use today helps not only to identify criminals, but also, using a fingerprint instead of a password, to verify the identity and ensure the protection of any information from outside interference.

April 18, 1906– As a result of a powerful earthquake, part of the city of San Francisco fell

Since its founding, San Francisco has experienced earthquakes of varying severity more than once. However, none of the residents expected such massive destruction ... until April 18, 1906. Nothing foreshadowed trouble this morning. The weather was exceptionally fine. She called on thousands of residents to visit parks, restaurants, theaters, attractions, and just to have a good time on the street. Soon the first shock swept by, and after a moment, a terrible wave rolled - the most powerful and destructive. This was followed by several more shocks, but less intense. Many buildings were completely destroyed, entire alleys "swelled up". Experts considered that the force of this catastrophe was 8.3 points on the Richter scale. The city was plunged into darkness due to the giant dust cloud generated by the earthquake, which blocked all light. In a matter of seconds, most of San Francisco was reduced to ashes and rubble. It took a long time to clear the city of the effects of the earthquake and rebuild it.

The forerunners of buses were multi-seat horse-drawn carriages with minimal amenities. Moscow residents complained to the authorities and repeatedly approached with a proposal to introduce automobile omnibuses, which at that time were used by all of Europe. So in 1898, the first cars began to run on the streets of Moscow, and at the beginning of the 20th century, the design and construction of the first buses began at the Moscow Automobile Plant. In 1922, forty such machines were manufactured. On April 18, the first open-type bus was launched in Moscow. Its route connected Komsomolskaya Square and Belorussky Railway Station. In the same year, several more buses began to be routed. Two years later, bus traffic in Russia became regular.
