Hi from another retired person to Zita!
       It doesn't look like anyone answered your inquiry above (unless it
was done to you personally). The correct form is in the singular, i.e.
'Den zashchitnika'. Translation??? Who knows!  I guess it is 'Day of
the Defender'/'Defender's Day'/'Defense Day' ????
       I hope all is well. We are enjoying our "golden years" out here in
Seattle , the city of our dreams.
                                                 Best wishes, Bill Derbyshire
