After the adoption by the UN General Assembly of a resolution of 1947, Palestine was divided into two parts: between Arabs and Jews. And in 1977, the UN directive instituted a new holiday - International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. At a meeting on the occasion, the UN Secretary-General announced: “On this important day for everyone, I personally express my deep solidarity with the Palestinian people, who continue to suffer, experience violence and do not have their own state. People are in constant danger, waiting the next blow, and is struggling to counter terrorism ... "
The terrible events that have been going on for several years in the region become a vivid example of the fact that the more the parties destroy each other, the more harm they do to themselves and to the civilian population. All this only aggravates the suffering of the people, gives rise to a feeling of emptiness and helplessness in them, and also delays the day when all Palestinians finally learn to live in harmony on the territory of their own state.
The national holiday in Albania has its roots in 1992, when the Democratic Party came to power. They began celebrating Liberation Day along with Independence Day of the Republic - November 28. But five years later, power passed to the new Socialist Party, which set a new date, moving it just one day. The event is held in honor of the liberation of the republic from the Nazis. In 1944, Italian troops occupied Albania, and after some time fascist Germany joined them. The goal of the invaders was to prevent the Allies from entering Greece into Yugoslavia. But the army, led by Khoja, liberated the city of Shkodra on November 28, the next day the invaders left the country.
Levi Matthew, an apostle of 12 and an evangelist, had close family ties with another disciple of Christ: the apostle James. Matthew was one of Jesus' best disciples, but, unfortunately, there is very little information about him. According to the Holy Scriptures, the evangelist was a tax collector - he collected a fee until he heard the teachings of Christ. The Messiah called on Levi to follow him. What happened to him next is hard to say. The only thing that can be noted is that Levi Matthew was executed in a Roman fortress for preaching the Word of God and Christianity.
Matveyev day
On this day, Christians honor the memory of the holy apostle from the twelve - Levi Matthew. As a rule, on Matvey’s day, as ancestors noticed, a thaw was established in the streets. At the same time they jokingly said: “Winter is sweating on Matvey,” the earth became wet from melted snow. If strong winds were blowing on November 29, then it would rule severe frost until the very Baptism. If the clouds floated low above the ground, they expected a sharp cooling. Also on that day there was an unbreakable tradition of visiting each other and treating friends and relatives with various fast foods (many people in Russia at the time kept fasting): “Hood Matvey, since I didn’t treat the guests,” they joked.

Its famous members were director Ekaterina Dashkova, Fonvizin and Derzhavin. It was on the council that Catherine suggested replacing the familiar io characters with a more simplified version of ё. The director’s arguments were very convincing, so most of the Academy members voted for the innovation in the Russian dictionary.

The official name of the country is the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In order to avoid disintegration and interethnic conflicts, the Kingdom was divided into bananas (administrative-territorial units of the state).
