Unity Day is a public holiday in Russia on November 4 each year. The holiday commemorates Russia's defeat in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth invasion in 1612. In 1610, the commonwealth invaded Russia and took Moscow.
Kuzma Minin, a Russian merchant, and Prince Dmitry Pozharsky formed an army in 1611 and launched an uprising against the Polish-Lithuanian occupation. The uprising led to the establishment of the Romanov dynasty, which lasted over 304 years from 1613 to 1917 until the February Revolution.
