According to the findings of the All-Russian Public Opinion Center, many Russians believe that February 23 is Russia's "Men's Day".
February 23 is the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland in Russia. Since 2002, the Russian government has declared it a national vacation.
Although the Russian government has never recognized Men's Day, it has become a holiday for all men. On this day, women congratulate men and give them gifts, while men can enjoy their own holiday and have a good time. Someone explained it this way, "Because all our men here have to serve in the military, Army Day has become a holiday for all men."
Last year, Russian state department stores were plastered with posters for "Men's Day", promoting a variety of goods. The most popular gifts were not traditional men's items such as electric razors or fancy ties, but men's perfumes and men's skin care products.

Men's Day was originally Mongolia's Army Day, and on March 18, 1921, with the support of the Soviet Union, the Mongolian People's Army (MPA) launched an attack on the Chinese army (Gao Zaotian's troops) stationed at Buy and Sell City (present-day Chaktun). The "Mongolian People's Army" was defeated by the "Mongolian People's Army" due to the paralysis of the enemy. Some of the dispersed Chinese soldiers returned to the mainland, and some of them went northward to the northeast via the Russian border. As a result, Outer Mongolia, which was originally a part of China, took a crucial step towards independence. At that time, no one was willing to work for the unity of the country because of the warlords in the country. So in that year, the so-called "Red Hero" Sukhbaatar easily set up a "constitutional monarchical government" that was flattering and pro-Soviet.
To commemorate this pivotal day in Mongolia's march toward independence, the later Mongolian government designated March 18 as "Army Day.
Because Mongolian soldiers are almost exclusively men, this "Army Day" has become "Men's Day" since some time ago. In the "Men's Day" this day, men have become the meat and potatoes, many units of women will make a contribution to invite men to dinner, so that the men's holiday is full of joy and happiness. Women personally pour wine for men handing cigarettes, accompany men to talk and chat, not happy.
