What it is
Rescuer's Day is a professional holiday in Russia observed on 27 December. It is usually linked to the founding of the Russian rescue corps in the early 1990s and honours people who work in emergency response and rescue.
Because the day is about people who help in emergencies, the tone on social media is gratitude and respect. Brands can say thank you and share safety knowledge, but not use the day for jokes or marketing tricks.
Symbols: An orange rescue uniform, a helmet, a rope, a lifebuoy, a lantern in the dark

Today we say thank you to the people who come when others call for help: day and night, in cold and heat. Your work gives families a sense of safety. In winter we also want to share a short checklist for parents on ice, roads and heating. Save the post, share it with someone who needs it and take care of each other.
On Rescuer's Day our teachers prepared a short lesson for children and parents: what to do if you see someone on thin ice, how to call for help and how to explain where you are. The material is based on official recommendations, and we asked a specialist to review it. Save it and go through it with your child this week.
Thank you to everyone who works in rescue and emergency services. For companies, this day is also a reminder to check our own safety plans: evacuation routes, first aid kits and clear contacts for emergencies. If you want to share your own checklist, add it in the comments so others can use it. Staying prepared is a quiet form of respect.
What to avoid
- Do not use jokes, memes or light-hearted trends: the day honours people who work with real danger and loss
- Do not use photos of accidents or disasters for effect, and never use real emergencies as an advertising backdrop
- Do not offer a discount banner as the main message; if you give a benefit to rescuers, be sure you can verify and honour it, and keep it modest
When to post
- Prepare the safety material a week ahead and ask an expert to check it
- Publish in the morning of 27 December, with a calm visual and a short text
- Afterwards, keep sharing practical safety tips in the winter period rather than in a single day
What to check afterwards
- Saves and shares of the safety checklist, which show real usefulness
- Thoughtful comments and replies rather than reach
- Subscriptions or messages from parents and teams asking for more safety content
