Purpose of the holiday

Not so long ago, the International Day of Hugs began to be celebrated in Russia at an unofficial level. But all over the world this event has long been promoted by activists.

The holiday has simple and uncomplicated traditions. On this day, it is customary to hug with different people:

• relatives;
• friends;
• work colleagues;
• housemates;
• just with strangers.

Psychologists believe that in the context of the rapidly developing individualization of all social processes in modern society, a person experiences a lack of communication and attention, which leads to the development of depression. A hug day helps people improve communication and become more outgoing. In addition, on this day, everyone can get a lot of positive emotions.

History of appearance

It is known that the origins of this holiday originate in Australia. According to an unofficial version, a foreigner was seen holding a "Free Hugs" sign at the Sydney airport in the 70s of the last century. According to legend, only a young girl drew attention to the young man, who confessed to him that she was left alone and felt the need for hugs.

After this incident on Australian campuses, students began to actively introduce the tradition of hugs, wishing in this way to express support and attention to each other, as well as to recharge with positive emotions.

Many people mistakenly consider this day an American holiday, due to the fact that it is very popular in the United States.

In the United States, Hug Day was officially celebrated only in 1986, establishing its name International Hug Day. The celebration was initiated by American students of the faculties of medicine and psychology, who perfectly understood what mechanism inside a person triggers a simple hug ritual.

This recently appeared international holiday is rightfully considered a youth holiday. Its main audience is students, who are rapidly spreading the tradition of the January 21 hug around the world.

In Russia, students began to celebrate this day since the 90s of the last century. A cheerful student audience in different Russian cities on January 21 today traditionally tries to exchange hugs, thus demonstrating love, attention and support to each other.
