Psychologist Day is observed in Russia every November 22, celebrating the contributions of psychologists in the country. Although it does not have official status, it has been celebrated informally for over two decades, with its origins tracing back to the inaugural congress of the Russian Psychological Society on November 22, 1994. The day is marked by various professional events such as seminars, conferences, workshops, and open lectures that highlight the importance of psychology. The Russian Psychological Society, which has over 5,000 members across 62 regional branches, plays a significant role in promoting and advancing psychological science in Russia. Notable historical developments in Russian psychology include the establishment of the Moscow Psychological Society in 1885 and the founding of the Psychological Institute at Moscow State University in 1912. Additionally, Russian psychologists also observe World Mental Health Day on October 10.
