Russians love to
celebrate, and Russia's public holidays should not be treated lightly. For the most important holidays — New Year's, Christmas, and the May holidays — many shops close down completely and city streets become strangely quiet. All government offices are closed on public holidays, and most overseas embassies are too. Sometimes it can be a little complicated figuring out which days the country shuts down. If the holiday falls on a Monday or a Friday, then everything is simple — it's a day off. If it falls on a weekend, then the Friday or Monday will also be a day off. If it falls on a Tuesday or a Thursday then the weekend will be shifted a day in the right direction and the Saturday or Sunday becomes a working day, with the three days off being Sunday-Monday-Tuesday or Thursday-Friday-Saturday. If the holiday falls on a Wednesday then there is no long weekend. The Official Holidays (Observed) January 1-5 New Year Holidays January 7 Christmas, Russian Orthodox February 23 Protector of Motherland Day March 8 International Women’s Day May 1 Spring and Labor Day May 9 Victory Day (Over German Nazism in the WW2) June 12 Day of Russia November 7 Day of Consent and Reconciliation (The holiday formerly known as the Day of the Great October Revolution) December 12 Constitution Day |
