Every second Sunday in August, Russia celebrates Builder's Day. It was established in 1955 on the instructions of the then General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, N.S. Khrushchev, who was fascinated by the construction of the Zhiguli HPP. Since then, this professional holiday has become one of the most beloved and revered in the country. We have prepared an exclusive selection of gifts especially for this day.
Construction is one of the oldest professions. Back in antiquity, it was said: "A builder is a person who creates order out of chaos." Little has changed since then. Modern builders continue to make our world a better, more comfortable and more beautiful every day, erecting buildings, roads, bridges and other structures that instantly become an integral part of our lives.
Builders are not only workers, but also engineers, architects, designers and many other specialists. Their work requires not only physical strength, but also intelligence, creativity, and the ability to find non-standard solutions. Every day they face new challenges, and each time they find ways to overcome them.
"Construction is an art, and every builder is an artist," said Frank Lloyd Wright, one of the most famous architects of the 20th century. These words perfectly reflect the essence of the profession. Builders create not only functional, but also aesthetically attractive objects that delight the eye and arouse pride. Each of them is a small miracle, the result of many efforts.
Today, on Builder's Day, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to all representatives of this profession. Dear builders, your work is important and necessary. "It is the buildings that create the chronicle of time, through them we learn about the history of people, their way of life and mores," said Iraqi-British architect and designer Zaha Mohammad Hadid. You are creating our present. And you also give people hope for the future and confidence in the future. May your work always be safe, productive and joyful!
