To find out where and when to watch the fireworks at New Year 2019 in Moscow, as well as to get to know the traditions of this amazing pyrotechnic show better, we offer you to take a short informative excursion prepared by our guides from the capital.
A Brief Journey Through the History of Fireworks
According to documentary sources, the first fireworks appeared in China at the same time as the invention of gunpowder. Initially, the inhabitants of the Celestial Empire used them as a "popular" means to scare away evil spirits that tried to enter the homes of ordinary Chinese. It is interesting that this ritual was carried out once a year, namely, on the days of New Year's celebrations.
Over time, gunpowder came to Europe and began to be used not only for military purposes, but also as fuel for launching festive fireworks. In Russia, the first solemn salute salvo was fired back in 1674 in the city of Ustyug. The initiator of this "event" was none other than Tsar Peter the Great, and Academician Jacob Shtelin acted as the organizer of the action.
Honoring holidays and other important events in the state with the help of fireworks has become a tradition. Similar events were practiced until 1915. It was then that the “last” took place in Russian Empire fireworks launch. The revival of fireworks occurred 30 years later during the Great Patriotic War. In 1943 salutes were fired in honor of the victory of the Red Army over the enemy near Belgorod and Orel.
In the beginning, fireworks were simple "flashes" of white. Over time, yellow also “joined” it. Currently, professional pyrotechnicians have all the technical capabilities to recreate almost the entire color spectrum of flashes, creating not only various figures, but even inscriptions in the evening sky.
