105 years since the appearance of the Chelyabinsk landmark - Valeev's house

October 14 marks the 105th anniversary of the founding of one of the most famous attractions of the South Ural capital - the Trading House of the Bashkir merchant Mukhametkhan Valeev. This is one of the most remarkable buildings built in Chelyabinsk. The building, popularly nicknamed the Valeev House, is an architectural monument of the early twentieth century. The house, built in 1911, had its own electricity supply, plumbing, and heating; there was a store, a buffet and a photo salon, and many other amenities that people could only dream of at that time. At various times, the Trading House housed Tsentropechat, Gostipography, a textile syndicate, the Communal Workers' Club and a city department store. Time has shown that no matter what happens around, the Valeev Trading House has always remained the best of the best.

Today, only small notes and photographs in the city newspaper “Voice of the Urals,” published in pre-revolutionary Chelyabinsk, remind us of the private life of the merchant of the 1st guild M. Valeev.

In October, a number of professional holidays and memorable dates are celebrated in Russia:

October 1 – Older People's Day, of which there are more than 1 million people in the Chelyabinsk region today. International Day of Older Persons originated in the 20th century. First, Older People's Day began to be celebrated in Europe, then in America. In 1990, the holiday acquired International status, and since 1992 it has been celebrated annually in Russia.

The purpose of the holiday is to draw attention to the social problems of older people around the world. This holiday is not so much an official date as a tradition of care and attention to the older generation that is kind and close to each of us.

October 1 – International Music Day. Established in 1975 by decision of UNESCO. One of the initiators of this holiday was Dmitry Shostakovich, a classical composer of the 20th century. It is celebrated annually all over the world with festive concerts of the best composers and musical groups.

On October 5, Russia celebrates International Teachers' Day. The professional holiday of educators was established by UNESCO in 1994. However, since 1965, Teacher's Day was celebrated in the USSR on the first Sunday of October, and by decree of the President of the Russian Federation in 1994, this holiday began to be celebrated annually on October 5.

Also October 5 – Day of Criminal Investigation Workers of Russia. The Soviet criminal investigation department was founded on October 5, 1918 by a resolution of the NKVD of the RSFSR, which approved the “Regulations on the organization of criminal investigation departments.” To this day, criminal investigation officers are the elite of Russian internal affairs agencies.

October 7th - World Smile Day. It is celebrated annually on the first Friday of October. For the fact that this wonderful holiday exists, we must say thanks to the artist Harvey Bell. In the middle of the 20th century he lived in America. In 1963, representatives of an insurance company approached him with a request to come up with a business card for their organization. Harvey, without hesitation, offered them what is now commonly called a smiley face. The success of the business card was enormous. The company's clients were delighted with the innovation. Within a few months, more than ten thousand badges had been released, and later the smiling face appeared everywhere. Even later, in 1999, the holiday itself arose - World Smile Day.

October 11 - International Day of the Girl Child. It has been celebrated since 2012. On December 19, 2011, the UN General Assembly adopted resolution 66/170, declaring October 11 as the International Day of the Girl Child, thereby recognizing their rights. The purpose of celebrating this day is to draw attention to the social problems and inequalities experienced by girls around the world that are directly related to their being female.

October 30th is celebrated Founding Day of the Russian Fleet. On this day in 1696, the Boyar Duma adopted a “sentence” to begin the construction of the fleet - “There will be sea vessels.” Consequently, this year is a kind of anniversary - the Russian Navy turns 320 years old.

In a bay located on the territory of Avachinskaya Bay, the expedition decided to wait out the winter. So on October 17, the first settlement was founded. In fact, the entire difficult history of the capital of Kamchatka began with him.

Most car brands proudly bear the “names” of their creators, but with Cadillac the situation is different. The brand is named after the founder of Detroit, Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.

Signs October 17 - the day of Hierotheus

From October 17, the cold becomes increasingly intense, and winter can be felt approaching. It was not worth going into the forest on this day - they said that on October 17, goblins break down trees and chase animals before leaving to spend the winter until next year.

In the church on October 17, the memory of the martyr Erofei (Ierotheus), who lived in Athens in the 1st century, is honored. He was converted to Christianity at the same time as Dionysius and became a disciple of the Apostle Paul. He was also consecrated to the rank of bishop - at that time Erofei was already a member of the Athenian Areopagus.

Tradition says that Erofei and Dionysius saw with their own eyes the burial of the Mother of God. As for the further fate of Erofey, he was killed by the pagans after he tried to preach Christianity among them.

On October 17, people prepared a special tincture, which was called erofeich. Usually they used various fragrant herbs for it. The traditional recipe included thyme, St. John's wort, sweet clover, wormwood, marjoram, yarrow, oregano, anise and mint.

The herbs were poured with vodka and infused for about 10-12 days in a warm and dark place. People said that this tincture not only increases appetite, but also helps in the treatment of a variety of ailments.

Usually on October 17, a large number of rituals related to scaring away evil spirits were performed. They believed that you could protect yourself from it by using onions, garlic, and radishes. In particular, bundles of onions and garlic were hung over the doors of houses and barns.

They also said that most often evil spirits strike drunkards and people who unscrupulously perform their religious duties. That is why it was not recommended to go for a walk on October 17, to leave the house unnecessarily, and, of course, you should not get drunk.
