Tip 3: How to relax during the New Year holidays in 2015
In the winter of 2015, the Ministry of Labor gave the residents of Russia a full winter holiday: the New Year celebration will last until January 11.
In accordance with Russian legislation, all days from January 1 to January 8 are holidays. If they coincide with a “legal weekend” (Saturday or Sunday), the day off is transferred to another date.
This year there were two days off during the holiday period - Saturday (January 3) and Sunday (January 4). In accordance with the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on the transfer of weekends in 2015, one of these days off (Saturday) is moved to Friday, January 9, and the second to Monday, May 4. Thus, Saturday and Sunday, January 10 and 11, will “join” the New Year holidays.
True, the right to rest until the 12th does not apply to institutions operating according to “”: on working Saturdays there is no day off from January 3 to January 9. Therefore, employees of such organizations will return to work on the ninth and will have a short post-holiday work week, consisting of Friday and Saturday.
Russians are still not entitled to pre-New Year's days off: all December days, including the 31st, are officially working days. The only concession is that since the last day of December is a pre-holiday, the working day should be reduced by an hour.
Only schoolchildren studying under the traditional “quarter” system will have the opportunity to devote several days to preparing for the New Year: their winter holidays will begin on December 29, and they will return to school at the same time that their parents return to work, on January 12. Schools that have chosen a trimester education system will work until December 30, their holidays will last only 10 days - from December 31 to January 9.

Tip 4: How to relax on March 8 and February 23 in 2015
In February and March, Russians will enjoy three-day “micro-vacations” in honor of Defender of the Fatherland Day, as well as International Women’s Day. It is possible that 2015 will be a “farewell” year for these holidays: State Duma deputies propose making February 23 and March 8 regular working days.
How to relax on February 23
In 2015, February 23rd falls on a Monday. Therefore, the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day will take place “strictly according to schedule”: no postponements of weekends are provided. Therefore, the majority of the country's residents will rest for three days in a row: February 21 and 22 (Saturday and Sunday) plus the adjacent holiday non-working day, followed by a four-day work week. Those who work or study according to "" rest only on February 22 and 23.
The last working day in the week preceding the holiday (Friday, February 20) is not a shortened working day. A pre-holiday day, when working hours are reduced by one hour, is considered only the day before a significant date, and in this case it is Sunday, a day off.
How to relax on March 8
International Women's Day, March 8, is celebrated on Sunday this year. In this case, in accordance with Russian law, the day off is transferred to the next day, Monday.
Some are confused by the fact that the day off from March 8 to 9 was not included in the Government Decree “On the transfer of weekends in 2015.” Only two postponements were actually noted there: the first Saturday and Sunday of January, the 3rd and 4th were postponed to January 9 and May 4, respectively. The thing is that if a holiday falls on a weekend, then the transfer of an additional day of rest to the first post-holiday working day is prescribed in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Therefore, such transfers are made automatically, without special orders.
Will February and March holidays be cancelled?
In the summer of 2015, the State Duma will consider a bill introduced by deputies from the LDPR. Vladimir Zhirinovsky and his followers propose making most holidays workdays. According to the bill, only January 1 and 2 should remain national holidays - New Year's holidays, Christmas on January 7 and Victory Day on May 9. Deputies propose to make the long New Year holidays, February 23, March 8, May 1, as well as Russia Day on June 12 and National Unity Day on November 4 regular working days.
As compensation, deputies propose to grant Russians the right to an additional ten-day paid leave.
Representatives of the LDPR justify their proposal by the fact that this will make it easier for citizens to plan their vacation time, in addition, they will be able to determine for themselves what they want to celebrate - and when.
This is not the first time that LDAR deputies are trying to radically change weekends and holidays, but whether their proposals will be accepted this time is still unknown. Be that as it may, on March 8 and February 23 in 2015 we follow the usual rules.
Tip 5: How to relax in November 2015 on National Unity Day
The only holiday in Russia falls in the fall - in honor of National Unity Day. How will Russians relax in November 2015 in honor of this holiday?
November holidays - weekends in 2015
National Unity Day is celebrated in Russia on November 4. In 2015, this date falls in the middle of the week - on Wednesday. In such cases, transfers of weekend days are, as a rule, not made.
That's why There will be only one day of holidays on November 4th in Russia this year, and the work week will be “broken” into two two-day periods:
- November 2, Monday- working day,
- November 3, Tuesday– pre-holiday working day,
- November 4, Wednesday- holiday,
- November 5, Thursday- working day,
- November 6, Friday- working day.
On the pre-holiday working day of November 3, in accordance with the Russian Labor Code, the working day should be reduced by one hour.
School holidays traditionally coincide with the November holidays. In most Russian schools operating according to the “classical” quarterly schedule, autumn holidays in 2015 will last 9 days and will take place from October 31 to November 8.
In Moscow schools operating according to the modular scheme “five to six weeks of study - one week of vacation”, a single time for the November holidays has been established, which does not coincide with the traditional schedule: schoolchildren will have a rest from November 17 to 23. However, November 4 will also be a day off for such educational institutions.
Is November 7 a day off or not?
On November 7, Soviet Russia celebrated the anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. It has been celebrated annually since 1918; on this day, mass demonstrations and parades took place in Soviet cities. In 1928, the November holidays were “expanded” - not only November 7, but also November 8 became a day off.
After the collapse of the USSR and a change of ideology, the November holidays were reformed: starting in 1992, the 8th ceased to be a “red day of the calendar” and became an ordinary working day, and in November there was only one holiday left. In 1995, November 7 was declared the Day of Military Glory; in 1996, the holiday received a new name - “Day of Harmony and Reconciliation.”
But in 2005, National Unity Day, celebrated on November 4, appeared in the Russian calendar, and the celebration on November 7 was abolished.
Now in Russia November 7 is not a day off- This is an ordinary day. However, in 2015, November 7 falls on Saturday, and November 8 falls on Sunday, so Russians have the opportunity, in addition to celebrating November 4, to also relax according to the “Soviet schedule” that is familiar to many.
What do we celebrate on November 4th
National Unity Day has been celebrated in Russia since 2005. It is timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Moscow events of 1612 - on November 4, the people's militia, whose leaders were Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, stormed Kitai Gorod and liberated Moscow from the Polish invaders. This assault became a symbol of the unity of the people of a multinational country, united in the face of the enemy, despite differences in origin, religion or position in society.
The introduction of this holiday was largely due to the need to replace the “ideologically outdated” day of November 7, while maintaining the tradition of autumn state patriotic holidays. On National Unity Day, rallies, folk festivals, concerts and other festive events are held in Russian cities.

- How we relax in November 2013
All working citizens of the Russian Federation are wondering whether there will be days off in 2015. The Prime Minister of Russia recognized the correctness of the decree, which indicates the transfer of days off to working days next year. Let's consider which days of the new calendar will be considered holidays, weekends and officially shortened.
Weekends and public holidays in 2015 in Russia - how do we relax on the January and May holidays in 2015?
According to the order, residents of Russia will have a winter holiday that will last 11 days.
They will begin on January 1, when the New Year begins. During the winter holidays, Russians will also celebrate another significant holiday - Christmas, which is traditionally scheduled for January 7th.
But the holiday on February 23 does not provide for additional days off. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Defender of the Fatherland Day falls on Monday, so rest will be allowed on weekends - Saturday, Sunday, and Monday inclusive.
As for March 8, International Women's Day is a day off. It falls on Sunday. According to the law, residents of Russia will declare Monday a non-working day. So Russians will rest from the 7th to the 9th.
The May holidays were officially divided into two periods. In connection with the celebration of May 1, people will rest from May 1 to 4, and then in honor of Victory Day from May 9 to 11. By law, an employer can give an employee vacation for interim days. Then the employee will rest from May 1 to May 11 inclusive.
Pre-holiday short days in 2015 in Russia - officially shortened working days in 2015?
Some days were officially recognized as shortened in 2015, as they are pre-holiday days. These included only 5 days: April 30, May 8, June 11, November 3 and December 31. By law, an employee of any organization operating in the Russian Federation has the right to leave work an hour earlier on that day.
In each coming year, many of us look at the calendars with curiosity: whether the country's leadership has added a couple of extra days off to the holidays. Some people dream of a short-term trip, while others want to visit their beloved relatives. How to plan holidays?
It is known that the total number of weekends and holidays in 2015 is 116. And, if 90 days of them are ordinary Saturdays and Sundays (with a five-day work week), then 26 are holidays and postponed days off. It has become a good tradition in our country to organize long New Year holidays, and to celebrate each significant date or fun holiday for at least three days. How are we relaxing in 2015 and how many days are there for everyone’s favorite fun?
Officially recognized holidays
Every year, the Government of Russia approves the draft prepared Resolution “On the transfer of weekends”. In the last week of May of this year, such a document was received from the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation, predetermining the work and rest schedule for 2015.
Holiday dates in Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are named: New Year - holidays (January 1-8), Christmas (January 7), Defender of the Fatherland Day (February 23), International Women's Day (March 8), Spring and Labor Holiday (May 1), Victory Day (May 9), Russia Day (June 12) and National Unity Day (November 4).
How long will we rest?
The Mistress of 2015, the Blue-Green Emerald Goat, or Sheep, has prepared many surprises, providing a sufficient number of weekends and holidays. It is noteworthy that many of them occur in the first half of the year. And a couple of these wonderful periods last about a third of the month! And the rest of the weekends are pleasing, giving us at least three days of rest!
December 31, 2014 - New Year's Eve falls on Wednesday. And this, as you know, is the height of the work week. No matter how much we want to take care of household chores, the entire population of the country will have to be at work. And only in the evening, after work, hastily prepare salads. But after the chiming clock in the coming 2015...
From January 1st to January 8th are officially recognized holidays, but January 3rd and 4th are Saturday and Sunday. They were moved: January 3rd to 9th, and January 4th made May 4th a day off.
Therefore, New Year's festivities will last 8 days plus 1 (January 9th). But January 10 and 11 will be added to them - Saturday and Sunday arrived in time!
Note! Thus, we will rest for 11 days during the New Year holidays, and go to work on the 12th.
Note! For those who have a long (40-hour) week, a shortened day (by 1 hour) is provided on February 20th.
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation prescribes that when a holiday non-working day coincides with a calendar weekend, legal rest is transferred to the next working day. This situation arose in 2015 with the holiday of March 8th.
International Women's Day we will celebrate from March 7th to March 9th (since March 8th fell on a Sunday). For some categories of workers (with a 40-hour work week), as early as March 6, the shift or working day will be reduced by an hour.
Will last 4 days. It will begin on May 1, a holiday, followed by the 2nd and 3rd weekends according to the calendar.
Note! A non-working day - May 4th, as mentioned above, will give us Sunday, which falls on January 4th.
2015 will mark its 70th anniversary! This fateful date - May 9 - is a holiday falling on Saturday, May 10 is a legal Sunday, and May 11 is compensation for the Saturday day off on the 9th.
Note! Thus, on these bright days of May we will rest - May 9, 10 and 11!
In 2015 it falls on a Friday, so we have to rest in June - the 12th, 13th and 14th (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). In addition, people with a 40-hour work week will have their shift reduced by an hour on Thursday, June 11th.
Of the entire series of holidays, we will only have a short one-day vacation in 2015 on November 4th. And thirdly, certain categories of workers can have their shift reduced by 1 hour.
How to relax on holidays
The mistress of the year is the Goat; in 2015, during her vacation, she can afford to be a little capricious. Going to the village and surrounding yourself with a crowd of friends is Goat-style behavior. Nature endowed this totem with a variety of talents and rich imagination, however, it completely deprived it of practicality. When going on vacation, people of this sign try to shift their worries onto the shoulders of others, but they more than compensate for them with an excellent mood and strong moral support.
The Sheep or Goat differs from other signs in their cheerful, carefree disposition, constant optimism and the ability not to express worries over trifles.
Find out how we are relaxing in 2015, take with you the light and carefree character of the hostess of the year, create a new route or go to familiar places. Wherever you go: on a visit or on a trip, you now always know how much time you have left.
According to the plans of the Ministry of Labor, in 2015, Russians will have a rather long rest during the holidays - almost all holidays fall on weekends, which means that they will be postponed. The transfer of weekends is provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. It, according to officials, is intended for the optimal use of working time at enterprises, and also creates conditions for the most complete rest in winter and spring.
We remind you that, according to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the holidays on which Russians rest are: New Year holidays on January 1-8, Christmas on January 7, Defender of the Fatherland Day on February 23, International Women's Day on March 8, Spring and Labor Day on May 1, Victory on May 9, Russia Day on June 12, National Unity Day on November 4. How many days will we have a rest in 2015?
January New Year holidays 2015
Next year, the New Year holidays will last 11 days - from January 1 to January 11. The following January days fall on weekends: Saturday, January 3rd and Sunday, January 4th. The first of these days is postponed to January 9 (this will be Friday), and the second to May 4 (Monday).
As for the holiday desired by many Russians on December 31, it has not yet been given to us. It's a pity. This pre-holiday day is always troublesome, fussy and very necessary for most people. In addition, as many working Russians admit, it is more “congratulatory” and actually non-working. Managers also recognize this fact - they consider December 31 a “forced” working day that could have been spent more rationally.
May holidays 2015
In May we rest for four days - for the Spring and Labor Festival from May 1 (it falls on Friday) to May 4 (this is Monday). Let us remind you that the Sunday holiday on January 4th will be moved to May 4th.
On the Great Victory Day, the following days will be non-working: May 9 (Saturday), May 10 (Sunday) and May 11 (Monday) - a total of three days. And again the postponement: since May 9 falls on a weekend, it is postponed to the post-holiday Monday.
Autumn holidays 2015
In the fall, only one holiday is expected - National Unity Day, which is celebrated on November 4 (this will be Wednesday). Since the holiday falls in the middle of the week, nothing will be postponed this time, and we will also rest for one day.
Weekends in 2015
What other holidays are left? Of course, the traditional ones are men's on February 23 (Defender of the Fatherland Day) and women's on March 8 (International Women's Day).
So, on February 23, we will congratulate men for three whole days - February 21 (Saturday), February 22 (Sunday) and February 23 (Monday). As you can see, the holiday follows immediately after the weekend.
But International Women's Day on March 8 will fall on Sunday, so the postponement will work again, and the holiday Monday on March 9 will be added to the weekend. Thus, three days are also allotted to congratulate the fair half of humanity: March 7 (Saturday), March 8 (Sunday) and March 9 (Monday).
And one more holiday remains “uncovered” for us - this is Russia Day, which is celebrated in 2015 on June 12. It will be Friday, so we will again have a chance to rest for three whole days in a row - June 12, 13 and 14.
So, today in Russia there are 8 public holidays, during which people do not work, but not all of them. It is interesting that these days workers in the service sector, transport, etc. continue to work in our country. In other countries, things are different. For example, in England, restaurants, banks and shops are closed on holidays, and even the subway is closed on Christmas Day.
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 27, 2014 N 860
In order to ensure the rational use of weekends and non-working holidays by employees, the Government of the Russian Federation is postponing the following days off in 2015:
The rules for transferring weekends by decision of the Government of the Russian Federation in 2015 remained the same as they were in force in 2014. Very few transfers have been made; Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation itself has not changed and the general set of holidays has remained the same. Let's evaluate the calendar of weekends and holidays for 2015, taking into account the requirements of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 27, 2014 N 860.
December 31, 2014 is a shortened pre-holiday working day. January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8, 2015, directly according to Article 112 of the Labor Code, are New Year holidays; January 7 is the Nativity of Christ. These 8 calendar days fall on January 3 and 4 - Saturday and Sunday. According to the law, they are no longer automatically transferred to January 9 and 12 (Friday and Monday, respectively), since special transfer rules apply specifically for the New Year holidays. But in accordance with Resolution No. 860, January is postponed to January 9.
Thus, Russians in 2015 have an absolutely fantastic New Year holidays, which will last from January 1 to January 11, 2015 (January 10 and 11 - Saturday and Sunday).
February 23, 2015- Defender of the Fatherland Day falls on Monday, so we will celebrate the traditional “men's day” on February 21, 22 and 23, 2015 (Saturday, Sunday and Monday). Do not forget to congratulate men on February 20 :) but this Friday will not be a pre-holiday day, therefore, the length of the working day will not be reduced.
March 8, 2015- International Women's Day is Sunday. Consequently, we celebrate this holiday on March 7, 8 and 9, 2015 (according to the rule of automatically moving the day off to Monday).
May holidays 2015 according to the law: May 1 - Spring and Labor Day, Friday, and May 9 - Victory Day, Saturday. Thus, the holiday on May 9 is moved to Monday, May 11.
The Government of the Russian Federation, in Resolution No. 444, moved January 4, Sunday, to Monday, May 4.
The general weekend schedule for the May holidays is as follows:: May 1, 2, 3 and 4 - days off (April 30 is a shortened pre-holiday day), May 5, 6, 7 - full working days, May 8, Friday - a shortened pre-holiday working day, May 9, 10 and 11 - weekends .
June 12, Russia Day- in 2015 Friday. June 11 will be a shortened pre-holiday day, rest days on Russia Day will be from June 12 to June 14, 2014.
November 4, 2015, National Unity Day - Wednesday. As usual, this is the most inconvenient holiday on the entire calendar. November 3, Tuesday - pre-holiday shortened working day, we rest only on November 4, there are no postponements in connection with this date for 2015.
We would like you to note that the majority of additional rescheduled days in 2015 are Mondays(almost like in the song, working Mondays are cancelled): February 23, March 9, May 4, May 11. However, it is possible that for certain regular industries (for example, education), such a significant “loss” of one calendar day will affect the labor process. Please plan ahead for these drop-offs.
