Russian Interior Ministry Investigators’ Day
April 6 · Level 5 · #1249 of 2238
This observance recognises investigators in Russia’s Ministry of Internal Affairs. Their work involves establishing what happened in a criminal case, gathering evidence and preparing the case for the next stages of the justice process.
How it is celebrated: departments congratulate staff and veterans, present awards and hold commemorative gatherings. Colleagues who died on duty are also remembered.
The date refers to a 1963 decision granting public-order authorities the power to conduct preliminary criminal investigations, a milestone in the service’s history.
