But the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, a holiday that will “force” the memory of Saints Methodius and Cyril, celebrated on May 24, Thursday, is not, according to officials, a reason to set aside a full day off for its celebration.

May holidays 2018: how we relax

The next extended weekend awaits Russians from June 10 to June 12 inclusive. For three days, citizens will celebrate Russia Day, which is celebrated on June 12.

Our calendar is distinguished by many holidays. At the same time, there are only two months a year when you can count on long weekends due to holidays. These are everyone's favorite New Year holidays and May holidays. It must be said that the May weekend is no less loved by Russians. After all, it is during this period that many of our citizens open the holiday season outside the city. Everyone’s favorites come at this same time:

The second holiday, which is especially important for our citizens, is Victory Day. On this day, Russians honor those who fought for our independence during the Second World War. In all settlements of our country, ceremonial events are held at which our citizens lay flowers and wreaths at the monuments of Soviet citizens who died on the fields of military battles. It is interesting that not only people of the older and middle generations take part in them, but also modern schoolchildren. This suggests that in our country young people continue the traditions of their grandfathers.

During these days Also There are solemn processions and meetings where WWII veterans are honored. One of these events is the “Immortal Regiment” campaign. On it, the current residents of our country show that they have not forgotten their heroes and, if necessary, are ready to continue their work.

So it turns out that there are 3 days of holidays in May, of those that lead to legal days off. In a year, there are 17 such official holidays. In total, out of 365 days of weekends, all hard workers of the Russian Federation will have 118 at their disposal.

May holidays 2018: weekends, holidays

To understand how we will relax in May, just look at the production calendar. It is the basis for creating the work schedule of most enterprises and organizations in Russia. From it you can find out how things are going with transfers and how many days off our citizens can count on.

Today this holiday is completely different from May Day of past years. Nowadays, people rejoice at the coming of spring, and the government provides everyone with the opportunity to take a little break from everyday work and enjoy the awakening nature. It is no coincidence that these days Russians are flocking en masse outside the city, into the forest, to various bodies of water. Taking advantage of the opportunities, they relax in natural conditions so that they can soon return to their jobs inspired and full of strength to achieve new results.

The Great Patriotic War began war On June 22, 1941, at dawn, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union, thereby violating the Soviet-German treaties of 1939.

Russians are already accustomed to the fact that the May holidays often include long weekends. But sometimes, each of them only takes a couple of days. Let's find out how we relax in May 2018, and also how much time we can devote to celebrating Victory Day, Spring and Labor Day.

And although Russians will not be able to have a continuous May holiday in 2018, as is the case for the New Year holidays, it is quite possible to plan interesting events in order to relax and enjoy the long-awaited warm and spring-like sunny days.

The annual May holidays were no exception, which provide an opportunity to fully enjoy the coming spring, contribute to a higher mood, preparing the dacha for summer, etc. They traditionally come together in 2 holidays, which are loved and revered by everyone.

The calendar for May 2018, as befits this month preceding the onset of summer, consists of 31 days. As mentioned earlier in the text, Russians will be walking for more than a third of this month. During this time, people can freely attend to their personal affairs without legally going to work. If, of course, this is possible.

How we relax during the May holidays in 2018: official calendar

After the May Day holidays, we begin an unusual work schedule - two working days, two days off. This is due to the calendar layout of this month. On the third and fourth of May, people go to work as usual, but after working for two days, they end up on a calendar weekend. The fifth and sixth of May fall on Saturday and Sunday.

The next two days, Monday and Tuesday, are again working days, but May 8th is considered a pre-holiday, and the working hours on this day will be reduced by one hour. This year Victory Day falls on Wednesday and is celebrated for only one day. Then, again two working days, May 10th, 11th and two official days off - Saturday and Sunday.

The regular work week begins on the 14th, that is, the May holiday marathon ends. But believe me, this will not last long; our citizens will have to work as usual for a little more than three weeks. In less than a month, another holiday is expected - Russia Day, on the eve of which the working week will again increase by one working day, and the pre-holiday Saturday, as usual, will be shortened in duration by one hour.

Weekend for May holidays 2018

MAY 1 – LABOR AND SPRING DAY

This holiday almost always allows you to be outside the city and spend more time with friends and family. Many Russians go to their summer cottages to prepare them for planting the future crop and generally spending the summer. And for many, this is an opportunity to simply be in nature, which already delights with its warmth and notes of summer.

It is worth noting that today about 142 countries around the world celebrate this holiday in order to emphasize the importance of every worker and working person, the website reports. In many cities of Russia on this day, trade unions and large organizations bring their representatives to rallies and marches as a sign of solidarity.

GREAT VICTORY DAY – MAY 9

For more than 70 years, Russia and the whole world have been marking the events of the end of World War II, where a serious threat to all humanity was defeated - Nazi Germany and other countries that carried its ideology were destroyed. On this day, military parades and colorful processions of military equipment are held, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and stability throughout the planet.

The importance of this holiday: not only to show how strong weapons each country has, but also an opportunity to demonstrate concern for freedom and preventing such tragic events from happening again.

The middle of the week marks Spring and Labor Day, as well as Victory Day. Unfortunately, we can only dream of having the usual 7-8 days of rest in the last month of spring. May 1 in 2018 falls on Tuesday, and May 9 falls on Wednesday. What do we get here?

The government may postpone a day off that coincides with a non-working holiday - from Sunday, January 7, to Monday, April 30. But Tuesday, May 8, is still in doubt. Most likely, the state will simply make it a shorter working day. In May 2018, residents of Russia will still have two blocks of days off: from April 28 to May 1, there are 4 days off, as well as on May 9.

If we describe it in more detail, we get the following table: April 28 Saturday – day off April 29 Sunday – day off April 30 Monday – day off May 1 Tuesday – holiday, as well as spring and labor day May 2, 3, 4 – working days May 5 Saturday – closed May 6 Sunday – closed May 7 Monday – working day May 8 Tuesday – shortened working day May 9 Wednesday – Victory Day holiday.

It is noted that the first working week in May will last only two days.

“The first working day after the holiday weekend is Thursday, May 3. Accordingly, after the holiday weekend there will be a two-day working week,” the agency’s source said.

At the same time, Tuesday, May 8, as a pre-holiday working day, according to Russian labor legislation, will become shorter by 1 hour.
