Thanks to the cult film "Office Romance" by Eldar Ryazanov, almost all Russians learned about the existence of the statistician profession. However, few people know when Statistics Day is in 2022 in Russia and in the world. Meanwhile, this science plays an important role in the life of any society, so workers in this field should definitely be congratulated on their professional holiday.

Day of the worker of the statistical service in Russia

Since the Soviet era, the country has a tradition of celebrating professional holidays on certain days of the week. Most of the memorable dates dedicated to the workers of a particular branch of the economy fall on Sundays in different months. Until recently, there were no statistics among the various professional holidays.

The holiday of employees of the statistical service was established recently, in 2014. June 25 was chosen as the date. The order on the establishment of the holiday in Russia was signed by the head of Rosstat AE Surinov.

The day was not chosen by chance. On June 25, 1811, the Statistical Office was established in the Russian Empire. The first task of the service was to collect and analyze information necessary for the work of government services and various ministries.

It was the statistical department that became the main body responsible for organizing, conducting and processing the collected information based on the results of the All-Russian census of 1897. Having gained vast experience in conducting such an important event, the employees of the statistical department actively participated in solving important public affairs in which it was necessary to carry out calculations and systematize the collected data.

Their task is to correctly reflect information, maintain confidentiality and at the same time openness of modern mechanisms of public interaction, making modern public services available to the public.
