When in Russia celebrate the Day of the signalman?

October 20 (Communications Day) of 1919 is consideredthe official day of the formation of communication troops on the territory of our country. It was on this day that a special order of the Revolutionary Military Council finally formed the communications department. Moreover, since that time the communications service has been assigned to the special service of headquarters, and the communication troops themselves were defined as independent troops. It was at that time that the foundation for the subsequent gradual formation of modern communications troops on the territory of our country was laid.

Recall that the Military Communications Day was officially established in accordance with the decree of the President in 2006. Earlier this holiday was celebrated exclusively as the Day of Communication of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
