As a rule, if Saturday or Sunday coincides with a holiday, the day off is transferred to the next working day. For the rational use of weekends and holidays, by special decision of the government, other transfers may occur: for example, if a holiday falls on a Tuesday, then Monday is sometimes made a day off, and the previous Saturday a working Saturday. Also, the day off can be moved to any other day of the year.
On holidays, the offices of most companies and many museums are closed, but large stores are usually open, but special schedule.

Holidays of Russian regions
Subjects of the Russian Federation have the right to proclaim their own holidays and days off.
Thus, in Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Adygea, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia and Chechnya - in regions where a large number of Muslims live, non-working holidays are:
- Kurban Bayram is the holiday of the end of the Hajj to Mecca, celebrated on the 10th day of the 12th month of Dhul-Hijjah according to the Islamic calendar (the dates shift every year, since, unlike the Gregorian calendar, which calculates the year by the revolution of the Sun around the Earth, the Islamic focused on the phases of the moon);
- Eid al-Fitr is a holiday in honor of the end of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan, celebrated on the 1st day of the month of Shawwal.
In the Republic of Yakutia, everyone relaxes in pagan holiday“Ysyakh” is a celebration in honor of summer and the revival of nature (celebrated between June 10 and June 25, the date is set each time by a special decree).
In the republics of Buryatia and Kalmykia, people do not work during the Buddhist holiday Tsagan Sar: the onset of the new year and the beginning of spring are celebrated in January-February on the day of the new moon.
Also in most regions of the Russian Federation non-working holiday is a day dedicated to the formation of each of the republics.
But we won’t talk much about politics, maybe just a little...
Every schoolchild knew these words from Marshak’s poem:
"The Day of the Seventh of November -
Red calendar day.
Look out your window:
Everything on the street is red!”
The scarlet color really spread generously around - banners fluttered on the houses, flags fluttered in the hands of children and adults, and bows trembled on people's clothes. On the facades there are slogans and photographs of the leaders of the USSR. The largest portrait is of Lenin. The leader looks at what is happening with calm wisdom.
Multi-colored balls fly up. Some bravura melodies replace others. And the mood, despite the weather - chilly, damp, excellent. It's a holiday!
Long before November 7th, people - there were no cell phones, no email! - sent each other regular postcards with congratulations and wishes by mail.
In general, we prepared for the holiday well in advance and thoroughly. It was a bit tight with food, but the so-called orders at work helped out - with smoked sausage, caviar, pickled cucumbers, sprats... All this was opened, cut and solemnly served on the table with herring and potatoes. Almost no one bakes this nowadays, but in the past almost every housewife delighted her family and guests with a hot, aromatic and, of course, tasty treat.
Olivier salad was prepared in many homes. The latter, by the way, was a kind of greeting on a revolutionary holiday from the pre-revolutionary era...
On one of the shelves of my library rests an old book, disheveled from frequent use, called “Conversations about household", released more than half a century ago. This is a collection of morals and habits of a long-gone life. There are countless wishes in it, but I will give only one:
“For the October holidays, we advise you to invite your friends to dinner on November 7, after the end of the demonstration. Having taken a walk around the city, they will come to you in the best, liveliest mood, full of impressions, and most importantly - with a great appetite, which is especially pleasant for every hospitable hostess.”
However, festive feasts were held more often in the evening. Celebrations were an infrequent occurrence (except for November, May Day, New Year, March 8), but I wanted to see many acquaintances, friends and relatives...
Sorry, I got ahead of myself, so I’m in a hurry to go back.
The morning began with a demonstration. A multivocal crowd with banners and banners floated along the paving stones of Red Square to the cheerful marches. Announcer Kirillov said in a majestic voice: “Columns of workers from the Kuibyshev, Sverdlovsk, and Dzerzhinsky districts of the capital are coming. Teams of Moscow enterprises for two months ahead of schedule fulfilled the annual plan..."
Television cameras continually showed the leaders of the USSR standing on the podium of the Mausoleum. And they were in a wonderful mood.
Then it was time for the parade. The brass of the orchestra thundered, the soldiers paced, tanks and tractors rushed, spewing smoke, dragging multi-meter torsos of rockets. And again the announcer’s voice sounded triumphant: “This modern weapon is capable of detecting and destroying an aggressor anywhere in the world...”
And pride began to boil in my soul - we are the strongest!
That day on TV they showed the films “Lenin in October” (when Ilyich was wounded, it was a pity), “Man with a Gun”, “Communist”, “Blue Notebook” (how the leader hid in the summer of the seventeenth in Razliv), the play “Kremlin Chimes” , cartoon with the song: “What do you dream about, the cruiser Aurora at the hour when morning rises over the Neva?”
During the musical pauses, the songs “Varshavyanka”, “Boldly, comrades keep pace”, “Clouds have risen over the city...”, “And Lenin is so young” were played, TV viewers were congratulated on the October holiday famous people, old Bolsheviks (many were still alive), who talked about how they heard the Aurora salvo, took the Winter Palace and how they built a new life...
We'll be back for festive table. Much has already been drunk and eaten. People drink tea with “Anniversary” cookies and “Bird’s Milk” cake. And it’s so good and warm in the soul that you want to sing. And many are playing their favorite melodies - some with a guitar, some with a button accordion or an accordion...
November 7 was a political holiday. But - only by external attributes - red flags, slogans, calls. For ordinary people What was important was something else - to gather around the table, look at each other, talk. Remember the past. To see how children grow up and grandchildren grow up. Be glad that the old people are still cheerful.
What's new, friends and comrades? Some people got five or ten extra rubles in their salary, others bought a dacha, others bought a cooperative apartment or a car (“Zhiguli”, “Zaporozhets”). And someone bought a lottery ticket and hopes...
The November holiday was our good habit. They were waiting for him. He was the starting point, the finish of some things and the start of others. Many large and small plans were checked against November. TO autumn holiday they took obligations - that they would build, erect, put into operation. But they not only promised, but also fulfilled...
Today, many probably woke up with the old feeling - anticipation of the holiday. Although it has long been gone - no scarlet banners, no thundering marches, no films about fiery revolutionaries.
But even without that, November 7 is a good day. The writers Dickens, Camus, and the artist Millyar were born. And in Tula, the first “shelter for the intoxicated” in Russia opened.
But many of us remember the old, 97-year-old revolutionary holiday. After all, he is a noticeable part of the era. And our life with you.

Most residents of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region have visited their closest foreign neighbor, Finland, at least once.

Others head to Helsinki - both to explore the sights of the Finnish capital and for further travel to the Schengen countries.
Tanzania appeared on the map in 1964 as a result of the unification of two countries - Tanganyika and Zanzibar.

November 7 is a memorable day for Russia. Every schoolchild Soviet Union remembers: “The seventh of November is a red day on the calendar.” This year marks the 99th anniversary of the October Revolution.
Today, November 7th, is celebrated as “Day of military glory Russia." It was founded in 2005. And the series of November celebrations familiar to Soviet people was postponed to November 4th. Now we celebrate National Unity Day and remember how our people, led by Minin and Pozharsky, fought back against the Polish interventionists.
An armed uprising of workers began. The memorable date went down in history as the beginning of the October Revolution. The rioting workers seized the Winter Palace (the seat of the provisional government) along with the ministers.
On this day, the second congress of Soviet workers' and soldiers' deputies opened in Smolny. The Bolsheviks (RSDLP) and the Socialist Revolutionaries (left-wing socialist-revolutionaries) took part in it. Deputies approved the overthrow of the provisional government. The country changed course: from that moment on, the establishment of the power of the Council of People's Commissars was proclaimed. In fact, Vladimir Lenin stood at the head of the country.
What were they celebrating?
Essentially, the birth of a new state. The date November 7 became the main one in the Soviet calendar. The holiday was established a year later. A solemn military parade took place on Red Square in Moscow. From this passage arose the tradition of accompanying main holiday new state with a military procession.
Why is the October Revolution celebrated in November?
It's simple. According to the old style, the revolution took place on October 25, 1917. However, a year later the new government introduced the Gregorian calendar. The date October 25 was replaced by November 7.
Which parade was the most memorable?
Parade 1941. On November 7, participants in the military procession from Red Square went straight to the front.
Was the holiday celebrated for one day?
At first, yes. However, ten years later, the Presidium of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR decided to celebrate the Day of the Great October Revolution on November 7 and 8. The following changes occurred only in 1992: the holiday on November 8 was cancelled.
It didn't happen right away. First, President Boris Yeltsin in 1996 renamed the holiday the Day of Accord and Reconciliation. The holiday remained a non-working day. In 2004, the day off was cancelled. A year later, November 7 was made a memorable date. In the same year, National Unity Day was established on November 4.
