Modern mass events are an expression of social activity, a way for people to organize their leisure time, meet spiritual and cultural needs, participate in social processes and political life, and get involved in sports and art. In people's lives there are a large number of all kinds of mass events: from wedding ceremonies to street processions, from theatrical performances to widespread folk festivals. A separate mass event, at times, can amaze with its scale and scope.

Organization and preparation of a mass event
Organization of mass events is a difficult and responsible task. Organizational skills alone will obviously not be enough. It will require versatile knowledge, sufficient experience, well-developed intuition and foresight, as well as a considerable amount of money, depending on the grandiosity of the plan.
When organizing any event, you should know and remember that "at the forefront" is always the law. To prevent the planned mass event from turning into a natural disaster, you need to follow the letter of the law, clearly comply with all current requirements enshrined in law, and follow certain rules and recommendations.
A gathering of people is like a stream of water - under normal conditions it flows along the channel, but when the elements are rampant, it can “overflow its banks”, sweeping away and destroying everything in its path. People are emotional, they are able to panic, fear of something will not leave a person in a serene state.
Therefore, when organizing mass events, you need to be able to foresee a lot, first of all, to ensure the safety of all participants. And then think about how to make their pastime as comfortable as possible. And only the last thing to do is calculate your planned profit (if the event is commercial in nature).
Holding mass events can bring great profits if properly organized and prepared, but can also cause serious financial damage if mistakes are made during the preparatory phase.
Legislative Framework
The organization of mass events is regulated by the current Federal Law and other regulatory legal acts of the federal and regional levels. Laws governing the organization and holding of events (mass): the main law is 54-FZ (19.06.2004) in the latest edition, 192-FZ, 57-FZ, 329-FZ.
Choosing a Venue
A mass event can be held in any area suitable for this purpose. Most Popular Event Venues:
- premises;
- structures;
- streets;
- square;
- sports arenas;
- parks;
- squares;
- suburban areas and more.
In a nutshell, anywhere. With a single "if". Unless prohibited by law or posing a security risk.
Legislative restrictions on the choice of venue
There are some places where events are initially prohibited. It even makes no sense to coordinate this issue with representatives of the territorial administration, since the fact of their resolution will be a gross violation of official duties, and, consequently, a violation of the law. This entails an inevitable punishment - from "put in a corner" to "put on a bunk." So, under the prohibition of the territory located near:
- hazardous production facilities and other facilities with increased safety requirements;
- overpasses;
- oil pipelines;
- gas pipelines;
- linestransmission lines, high-voltage stations;
- television and radio towers;
- military units;
- correctional and other institutions;
- playgrounds.
As well as a number of other territories specified in the Federal Law.
Public Events
There is a concept of "public event". This mass event is described in detail in 54-FZ. It is characterized as an open, accessible and peaceful assembly (action) of people, organized by a person or a group of people or a public organization, political party, religious society. The goals of such an event can be different: the implementation of the guaranteed right to freedom of speech and expression of one's attitude about something, the announcement of demands, the discussion of social issues, politics and economics, and much more. There are five main types of public events:
- meeting, rally;
- demonstration, procession;
- picketing.
In the role of the organizers of this event can not be: minors and incapacitated. As well as representatives of parties and organizations banned in the Russian Federation, religious communities, etc. Mass events of this form cannot be started earlier than seven in the morning and end later than twenty-three hours (local time).
Cultural events
It is impossible to overestimate the benefits that cultural events bring. Their main purpose is the spiritual development of society. Such events have a number of directions:
- hedonistic, which is an entertaining character that helps to entertain people, temporarily distract from everyday problems, charge with positive and give free rein to bright emotional outbursts;
- educational, contributing to the acquisition of new useful knowledge, broadening the horizons, and self-education of the population;
- developing, aimed at the formation of aesthetic tastes, improvement of creative abilities;
- educational, instilling self-organization, forming a system of spiritual values;
- social, giving an incentive to social activity;
- artistic and creative, introducing to the cultural and creative process.
Cultural events are festivals, reviews, competitions (regional and federal levels, as well as international ones), entertainment festive events, themed concerts, educational programs, exhibitions, fairs and much more.
Sports events
Sports competitions, physical culture events are evidence that society is involved in the process of physical development and improvement, striving for new sports achievements. Mass sports events held in Russia are diverse and impressive in their scale.
These are professional competitions in almost all known sports, and sports and recreation events of various levels and all kinds of directions. As they say, there would be only a wish. Opportunities and favorable conditions to engage in professional sports and physical culture are more than enough. Much attention is paid to physical development in Russia. And this is no coincidence.
He alth of the nation is a paramount state task
A person's he alth is a set of indicators of his physical, spiritual and psychological state. Physical culture is one of the components of human culture. Fairly popular expression, borrowed from Latin (Decimus Junius Juvenal), is “a he althy mind in a he althy body.”
How many countries can boast that their leader "chases the puck" on the ice or fights on the mat? Many leaders are able to stay on a horse? Not to mention that without a saddle. These lines are far from political and other propaganda. Usual statement of facts.
The point is different. Running day, walking day, swimming day, gymnastics day and so on. You can enumerate and enumerate. Mass sports events for children and adults, families and the elderly, "Leather Ball", "Golden Puck" - this is just a list of the most famous and popular events that Russians love. And how many of these remain "behind the scenes"? Many.
Mass runs, cross-country skiing, swimming in the pool and open water, hiking, kayaking, mass descents on alpine skiing, you can’t list everything, even if you set a goal. This isn't an advertisement, is it? Is this not pride in the nation (figurative expression, which should be understood as the entire multinationalRussian people)?
