How public holidays work in Russia
When a public holiday falls on a weekend, the day off is generally transferred to the next working day. Public holidays are the days most workplaces and schools in Russia treat as days off, so they shape when people travel, book time away and plan around childcare. Religious holidays and wider observances sit alongside them. They are not always days off, but they are dates many households still mark. Each year page lists the public and religious holidays in full, and OneHaus keeps the complete set current in your shared home calendar.
