In Russia and Ukraine , the 25th of
January is an important day for University students, not just because it’s the
end of exams and the beginning of their winter break. The 25th of
January is the Russian holiday Tatiana Day, or Students' Day, which celebrates
the day Empress Elizabeth of Russia
signed the decree to found Moscow
University . The day was
named after Saint Tatiana, the patron saint of students. On Students' Day it is
customary for Russian students to go out drinking with their friends. Night
clubs and bars usually have special parties. Traditionally the students start
