Public holidays in Russia 2021-2025
La diferencia más significativa entre el calendario de fiestas rusas y el nuestro es el cambio en los eventos cristianos. La Iglesia Ortodoxa Rusa calcula sus fiestas de acuerdo al calendario Juliano, que es algo más exacto en relación a la órbita de la Tierra alrededor del sol. Por lo tanto, hay un cambio de, por ejemplo, la Navidad en unos 13 días. Pentecostés no se conoce en absoluto, y la Pascua tampoco es un día festivo.Otra característica especial es la optimización regulada por el Estado de los días de puente y la maximización de los días no laborables: si un día festivo cae en sábado o domingo, hay un día no laborable como sustituto. Al posponer los días libres, el gobierno también se asegura de que el mayor número posible de días de descanso estén vinculados entre sí y que los empleados tengan tantos días libres como sea posible de una sola vez. Para compensar esto, sin embargo, también hay semanas de 6 días.
La cantidad de días festivos no oficiales, pero a menudo días de conmemoración militar en Rusia puede ser sorprendente. Además (aunque no se enumeran aquí) hay numerosos días festivos no reglamentarios para casi todos los grupos ocupacionales.
