This beautiful day of the spring started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe and Russia. As the time goes past in many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women and the children express their love for their moms. So in a way it's somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and St.Valentine's Day.
On the eve of March 8th, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has congratulated the female journalists' team and all the women of Russia with the upcoming holiday, describing them as very different, but always beautiful.
On this day men are giving small presents for their mothers and girlfriends/wives, like firts spring flowers "podsnezhniki" (the snowdrops), "mimoza" (the mimosa) or "tyul'pany" (the tulips).
Children give to their mothers, grandmothers, nannies and teachers handmade postcards that they fill with lots of love and of course spring.
It's a very important day for every woman in Russia or Eastern Europe. Every woman does feel REALLY important on this day! You cannot really forget about 8th of march and do not give to your loved one a small gift, showing attention and care.
Some single women go crazy on this day!:) There are lot's of theme parties, where women are allowed to do everything! Because like the famous poem says:
Тебе поет сегодня лира,
Сегодня для тебя цветы,
Сегодня ТЫ царица мира!
И королева красоты!
P.S. Unfortunatelly the such an important date on the calendar does not liberate the woman from cooking a lot for the whole family and friends that will come to celebrate this day with her. And afterwards there are also dishes that noone will wash, but you. So from the tsarine of the world and a queen of the beauty you'll turn the tsarine of the kitchen and the queen of the dishes. And that what you call a Russian Woman fate, to serve the motherland, to serve the society, to be a mother and a wife and a cook and a lover and the most perfect woman you imagine she could ever be. We are like this! Happy Women's day!

"Woman gives us a life. We should all be grateful to the woman for what she gives us. But it’s certainly not everything what a woman does. We look first to the mother, the grandmother, then, when we grow up, we have a girlfriend, wife and then a daughter or a daughter in law. Women are always accompanying us throughout our life, everywhere. And of course, we men, really want for the women to be a beautiful decoration of it,” – said Putin.

Translating: Let the lyre sing for you today! And all flowers are just for you today! Because today YOU are the tsarina of the world and the queen of beauty!
