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

The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation spoke about important changes in the schedule of holidays and weekends for the next two years. The purpose of these changes is to find a balance between work and leisure for citizens.

In 2025, Russians will have vacations from December 29, 2024 to January 8, 2025. This time will allow them to recuperate and prepare for the new working year.

The May holidays will be divided into two periods: from 1 to 4 May and from 8 to 11 May. This will allow us to celebrate Spring and Labor Day and Victory Day.

1. January 1–7 — New Year holidays
2. February 22–23 — Defender of the Fatherland Day
3. March 8–9 — International Women's Day
4. May 1–4 — Spring and Labor Festival
5. May 8–11 — Victory Day
6. June 12–15 — Russia Day
7. November 2–4 — National Unity Day
8. December 31st is New Year's Eve…
