                          About Public Holidays in Russia

                          Russia's holiday calendar includes an official multi-day break spanning New Year and Orthodox Christmas (January 1 through roughly January 8), one of the longest single continuous nationwide shutdowns of any country on this list. Victory Day (May 9) commemorates the WWII victory over Nazi Germany with the country's largest military parade, held on Red Square in Moscow.

                          Frequently Asked Questions

                          How many public holidays are there in Russia?

                          Russia has 10 public holidays in 2027, 3 fewer than the global average of 13.

                          Which Russia public holidays fall on a weekend in 2027?

                          4 public holidays fall on a weekend in Russia in 2027: New Year Holiday (Saturday, January 2), Spring and Labour Day (Saturday, May 1), Victory Day (Sunday, May 9), Russia Day (Saturday, June 12). Russia grants no substitute day for these, so these are lost.

                          Does Russia give a day off when a holiday falls on a weekend?

                          No — Russia does not grant a substitute working day when a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday.

                          What is the longest break possible in Russia in 2027?

                          4 consecutive days off in Russia in 2027, February 20–February 23, by booking 1 day of leave.

                          When is the next public holiday in Russia?

                          The next public holiday in Russia is День народного единства (Unity Day) on November 4, 2026.

                          Which holidays in Russia change date each year?

                          Christmas Day does not fall on the same date every year in Russia, since it is set by a lunar or other variable calendar rather than a fixed date.
