The presidents of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan signed the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union in the city of Astana (now Nur-Sultan) on May 29, 2014. In 2015, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan joined the Union.

Nowadays the EAEU has five full members.

Within the Union “four freedoms” have been achieved, namely the free circulation of:
- Goods;
- Services;
- Capital;
- Labor force.

EAEU’s member states also coordinate their policies in the key sectors of their economies.

The main objectives of Eurasian Economic Union are:
- the creation of an appropriate environment for the stable development of the members states’ economies in order to increase the welfare of their populations;
- the creation of a common market of goods, services, capital and labor resources;
- comprehensive modernization and improving the competitiveness of our national economies at a worldwide level.

Congratulations on May Day!

On May 1 we’ll tell you the history of the holiday and its status in the EAEU countries.

In Russia May Day was celebrated for the first time in 1890 in Warsaw (which was part of the Russian Empire at that time). The first illegal celebrations in Saint Petersburg and Moscow were held in 1891 and 1895 respectively. After the October Revolution the holiday became an official day off work, keeping its status until nowadays.

In the Soviet Union on May 1 demonstrations were usually held, thus, becoming one of the symbols of the holiday. The last official May 1 demonstration in Russia took place in 1990. Nowadays the holiday no longer has any political background and is commonly seen as a spring holiday and the start of the countryside season.

Nowadays the International Workers' Day is celebrated in four of five countries of the EAEU: Armenia, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan and Russia, where it is a public holiday. In Kazakhstan May 1 is also a day off work but for another reason: the country honors its People's Unity Day. Usually vivid spring events are also held in Kazakhstan to celebrate this holiday.

We congratulate our Kazakh friends and colleagues on the Kazakhstan People’s Unity Day!

The Eternal flame is a common symbol of commemoration. Burning or glowing for an indefinite amount of time, it helps the living to remember the sacrifice of the dead.

The history of the Eternal flame dates back to Ancient Rome. In the XX century it was lit in 1923 at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. The first Eternal flame in the Soviet Union was lit in 1957 in Leningrad (now Saint Petersburg).

Nowadays the Eternal flame is one of the key elements of almost every memorial of the EAEU countries dedicated to the World War II. Today we'll name only some of them.

🔥the Eternal flame at the Tomb of the Unknown soldier (Moscow, Russia). Created by Nikolai Tomsky, Dmitri Burdin and their team, it was unveiled in 1967.

The Siege of Leningrad is one of the most terrible pages of the Great Patriotic War.

During 2,5 years the city was blocked from the rest of the world. During that period the city lost nearly a half of its residents.

The heroism of the North capital of Russia is cherished in various memorials of the EAEU:

📍Piskaryovskoye Memorial Cemetery (Saint Petersburg, Russia), the main memorial of the siege of the city. The memorial complex was created by Alexander Vasiliev, Yevgeny Levinson and their team and opened in 1960.

📍The monuments to the children of the sieged Leningrad in Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan, opened in 2012) and Yerevan (Armenia, opened in 2015). During the siege a lot of children were evacuated by the Road of Life and sent to the south of the Soviet Union.
The monument in Bishkek (picture 2) has a story behind: it is dedicated to Toktogon Altibasarova, a resident of a kyrgyz village, who in the age of 16 years took care of 150 children, evacuated from the sieged Leningrad.
