Passing on traditions, ensuring the continuity of traditions and connections between generations, educating the younger generation - all these necessary tasks are carried out by veterans customs service, people who dedicated their lives to protecting the country’s foreign economic interests. The establishment of customs at one time played a big role in the fight against smuggling, in restoring the country’s economy, in increasing the volume of foreign trade. Veterans of the customs service stood at the origins of the formation modern structure customs and now they have something to pass on to the younger generation. On May 29, 1918, a decree was issued delimiting the rights of local and central authorities in the matter of “collecting duties and regulating the activities of local customs institutions.” This day in the Soviet Union was celebrated as the Day of the Soviet Customs Officer, and since the current veterans served during the USSR, they chose the usual date for their professional holiday, Customs Service Veterans Day, May 29.

• Celebrated: in Russia
• Established: by resolution of the executive committee of the All-Russian Union of Customs Service Veterans on June 10, 1999
• Significance: Dedicated to the birthday of the Soviet customs service - the issuance of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR “On the delimitation of the rights of central and local Soviet authorities to collect duties and on regulating the activities of local customs institutions” 05/29/1918
• Traditions: Ceremonial events; honoring customs service veterans; public appearances and awards for veterans; themed concerts.

When is Customs Veterans Day celebrated?

May 29 is a professional holiday for veterans of customs services, which is widely celebrated by all those who dedicated their lives to protecting the security of the Motherland, its economic and political stability, as well as the development of military infrastructure concentrated in border areas. On this day, traditionally, they honor not only former employees customs, but also very young recruits who are yet to take up an important and responsible post.

history of the holiday

The origins of the customs service go back to the distant 17th century. Then, during the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, the first customs decree“for the collection in the state of tax on imported and exported goods in Moscow and Russian cities.” This happened on October 25, 1653. It was this event that marked the beginning of the existence of the customs service in our country. More than 200 years would pass before the decree of the Council of People's Commissars on the regulation of customs institutions was issued in 1918, which would completely transform the structure of the domestic customs service, and at the same time serve as the reason for the creation of Soviet Customs Officer Day.

Until the collapse of the USSR, May 29 will be celebrated along with the largest public holidays. In 1999, on the initiative of the executive committee of veterans of customs services, the holiday will be restored and dedicated to the old date, familiar to Soviet customs officers - May 29. As the chairman of VSVTS explained, this was done in order to preserve the continuity of generations and preserve long-standing traditions.

It is worth knowing that the work of customs officers is a difficult and responsible task. After all, these professionals must control the movement of people, Vehicle and commodity cargo across the border. This means that after retirement they have the right to their own holiday, which, according to established tradition, is celebrated with honor and dignity.

The Art of Celebration

On the day of celebrations, magnificent concerts are organized with performances by artists, congratulations to distinguished service workers, presentation of state and government awards, competitions, charity events are organized and military honors are given to honored veterans. On the eve of the festivities, the veterans' committee prepares a special message addressed to its large staff, which is read out in the meeting rooms by major political figures.

And for those who have just joined the service, this day becomes a kind of initiation, during which young employees become familiar with the centuries-old traditions of the customs service and adopt the experience of their elders. During a meeting with veterans, they comprehend the old truth of customs officers, which over time has turned into a slogan: “Customs service has a glorious past, a bright present and a promising future.”

Like representatives of any other profession, customs officers have a number of rituals and rituals unique to their profession. So, in no case is it recommended to sit in the boss’s chair during his absence. This is unlikely to lead to a promotion up the career ladder, but it could very well result in dismissal.

You should also not pick up an umbrella forgotten by one of your employees with your bare hands, because something bad might happen to its owner. The weapon should be stored with the barrel facing the window. According to superstition, the bad energy accumulating in it should evaporate from the house like a bullet. Meat dishes must be present on the festive table, because work in the customs service is hard and requires energy.

In the pre-revolutionary alphabet, the letter D was called “good.” The flag that corresponds to a given letter in the code of signals navy means “Yes, I allow, I agree.” This is where the expression “give the go-ahead” came from. The derivative saying “Customs gives the go-ahead” first appeared in the legendary film “White Sun of the Desert.”

I wish you happiness, luck, friendship,
Peace, tranquility, glorious fun,
Clear skies, long-awaited dreams!

Let everyone remember you, call and come,
In life, good luck always dances,
May you find joy during your holidays,
Everything you wanted, now you will find it!

***

All my life on the border, all my life I served,
Today is your holiday - and you deserve it!
The customs officer is an idol, customs is a calling,

It’s interesting that domestic customs officials have two holidays of their own – Customs Officer’s Day and the holiday itself, called Customs Service Veterans’ Day.

They cannot be confused, and the history of these solemn dates is also significantly different. Veterans Day is not dedicated to customs officers who continue to serve, but exclusively to those who have already completed their careers.

Story

So far, Customs Veterans Day has not been given official status. Since it is not a state structure that is involved in its establishment, but a public organization - the “Union of Veterans of the Customs Service of Russia”. At its congress in 1999, on June 10, it was decided to begin celebrating this date as Customs Service Veterans Day. The initiative that led to a positive result came from below, expressed in numerous wishes received all the time from public organizations, former customs officials.

Customs Veterans Day is not tied to the date of May 29th by chance. In 1918, on May 29, a decree of the Council of People's Commissars came into force, defining the procedure for the actions of customs institutions. In Soviet times, all customs officers in the country gathered on this day to celebrate, until the dissolution of the USSR. Is it any wonder that in modern times customs officers chose the same day as a professional holiday.

Traditions

Although this holiday is dedicated to customs veterans, that is, mainly pensioners, almost all people who have at least some connection to customs take part in its celebration. Despite the fact that the celebration is not official, in reality, in all customs institutions and even in the central office, the working day on May 29 is greatly reduced.

Since the establishment of the holiday, all structures of the Federal Customs Service have been holding a wide variety of events. All of them, naturally, are dedicated to honoring fellow veterans.

Former employees are awarded:

• insignia and departmental awards of the Federal Customs Service;
• cash bonuses;
• valuable gifts;
• certificates of honor.

An obligatory element of the celebration are performances by honored veterans and their meetings with newcomers, sharing experiences and stories about the past. The traditions of service must be preserved. Of course, cultural events are also organized - concerts, competitions, exhibitions. Well, meetings at festively set tables usually take place at home.
