Until the middle of the 18th century Tatyana's day was a religious celebration dedicated to the memory of St. Tatyana the Great Martyr. In 1755 the Empress Elizabeth signed the application of Count Shuvalov about the opening of the Moscow University, the center of Russian science, culture and public life. When is Student Day 2016 celebrated in Russia? According to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation, the Day of Russian Students is a nationwide holiday and is celebrated on January 25.

In the 19th century, the capital's students honored the memory of Saint Tatiana with performances of choirs and solemn prayers. Student's day was a noisy and reckless celebration of the student community. Crowds of "masters of the studio" walked around the city until late at night, bawled songs, went by cabs, drank in taverns. After the revolution, they did not recall the holiday, but in 1995 the St. Tatiana Church was re-opened at Moscow University, and in the assembly hall were awarded commemorative prizes established in honor of the founding fathers of the first Russian university, MV Lomonosov and II Shuvalov . So in the Russian Federation the cheerful holiday of students - Tatyana's day was revived.

Student's Day 2016 promises to be special - Minister of Education and Science Dmitry Livanov said that students will raise scholarships. The amount is indexed in accordance with the level of actual inflation. The head of the department said that the scholarships are planned to be raised early next year. According to Livanov, the issue should be coordinated with the deputies. The Ministry of Education proposed to introduce indexation in winter 2015, but the government did not approve the initiative, citing a difficult budget situation.
