Many people in Russia are wondering if the 2015 weekend will change. Well, or rather, they are interested in whether the number of holidays will increase in the new year. After all, most people want more paid weekends. The 2015 weekend and holiday calendar will help you plan your vacation, as well as make it possible to make a full-fledged vacation out of the weekend.
The calendar of weekends and holidays in 2015 was compiled on the basis of the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation. It is possible that later there will be some adjustments in the resolution, but they, if they do, will be quite insignificant.
2015 New Years weekend
Unfortunately for many, December 31 will also remain a weekday. I would like the 30th and 31st to be days off and the pre-holiday preparations could be fully developed. But the Government decided not to give this weekend to people with a 5-day work week. But New Year's weekend will last long enough. In the calendar of weekends and holidays in 2015, the days from 1 to 11 January are marked in red. Since these days fall on Saturday and Sunday, they decided to postpone them to the end of January and May. Saturday 3rd January will be rescheduled to Friday 9th January. And on January 4, it will be postponed with an additional weekend on May 4.
