There will be no days off: a tough decision on the New Year holidays

The Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation announced significant changes in the schedule of holidays and weekends for the next two years, seeking to create an optimal balance between work and leisure for citizens.

Throughout 2025, Russians will be able to enjoy their holidays from December 29, 2024 to January 8, 2025. This period will provide an opportunity to recuperate and prepare for the new working year.

– March 8–9 — International Women's Day
– May 1–4 — Spring Festival…
