One of my Vlads just told me this, and I'd like to know what it is about so I can answer him properly. I think I may need to throw the "Steak & BJ" thing in the mix?

This is from Wiki,

Quote:

Defender of the Fatherland Day

The Defender of the Fatherland Day (День защитника Отечества Den zashchitnika Otechestva) is celebrated on 23 February, and is a day of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The holiday was established in 1918.
[edit] International Women's Day

Every 8 March (Восьмое марта Vosmoe marta), the United Nations declares this day as the International Women's Day to celebrate women and the accomplishments they have made to society. Other than in the former Soviet republics and Eastern Europe, it is not celebrated much throughout the world. It is traditional on this holiday to present women with gifts and flowers to express appreciation for their work, love and devotion. It can be regarded as the equivalent of Mother's Day combined with some aspects of Valentine's Day. Thus, nowadays Russian women hardly ever recollect that this holiday originated as a day of rebellion of women struggling for equal rights with men. This day was very special to the Russians in the 1940s.

Not sure what it is, and I think Wiki could tell you way more.

But you should tell the vlad about Steak & BJ day, especially if (s)he's off script. If the lad's a guy, reading about Steak & BJ day and getting ideas what to do with his significant other, who's to say she'd agree ? It might get him some trouble on the homefront. Or it would get him a good steak and a nice BJ, but as long as he's not scamming anyone, it's still good.

EDIT: You've just given me a great idea for ASEM'ing a bunch of lads. Thanks.

Give em hell Probie! I've asked my Vlad to explain proper etiquette to me and I begged him not to look at 3/14. I told him it is not a holiday I want to celebrate until the females have one also!
