In this regard, Russians will have substantial New Year holidays, “long” holidays on February 23 and March 8, quite decent May holidays, and will also have the opportunity to relax in June and November.
How to relax for the New Year
New Year holidays 2017-2018 will be ten days - from Saturday, December 30, 2017, to Monday, January 8, 2018, inclusive. Thus, the last official working day will be Friday, December 29, and the first working day of the new 2018 will be Tuesday, January 9. Here, as doctors warn, the main thing is to correctly calculate your strength and not get carried away with strong drinks with fatty, high-calorie snacks.
Defender of the Fatherland Day February 23
On Defender of the Fatherland Day Russians will be able to rest for three days - from Friday, February 23, until Sunday, February 25, inclusive. This is convenient because you don’t have to go to work straight from the holiday table.
Women's Day March 8
Women will also be lucky in 2018, at least as far as their holiday is concerned. Traditionally popular in Russia International Women's Day we have to walk and relax for four whole days - from Thursday, March 8, to Sunday, March 11. This is very convenient, because, as after Defender of the Fatherland Day, you don’t have to “get up to the bench” immediately after the hectic celebration.
May beds
The start of the dacha season will also be successful for Russians - on 1st of May Russians will be given four days off at once, and this is not counting the lonely 9th May.
The May holidays will begin on Sunday, April 29 (Saturday, April 28, you will have to work) and will last four days - until May 2 inclusive.
On Russia Day, which is celebrated on June 12, you will also be able to relax longer - the small summer holidays for working Russians will last from Sunday, June 10, to Wednesday, June 12, inclusive. You will have to work for this on Saturday, June 9th.
Although November 7 in Russia it has not been a day off for a long time, but the habit of celebrating in the midst of autumn cannot be canceled, so we have a holiday National Unity Day, which is celebrated on November 4th. Due to the fact that next year November 4 falls on a Sunday, the Russians were compensated for this loss. Therefore, we will have a rest from Friday, November 3, to Monday, November 5, inclusive.
