February does not spoil the Russians with so many days off as January with New Year holidays, smoothly flowing into Christmas. The only official holiday this month is Defender of the Fatherland Day. In 2019, there were two days off for this occasion.
How to relax in 2020
February 23, 2020 is Sunday, the official day off. Calculate how much rest, you need according to the rules of transfer. If the official holiday falls on Sunday, then working Monday automatically becomes a day off.
This means that the Russians will walk for a total of 3 days - from February 22 to February 24 inclusive (Saturday, Sunday, Monday). The first working day is Tuesday, the 25th.
The bonus applies only to those employees and workers who have a classic five-day work week. For specialists employed in production from 12 to 24 hours, Defender of the Fatherland Day can be a worker if their change falls on schedule. With a “rolling” schedule, there are almost no extra days off.
Short day before
Many companies practice shorter hours on the eve of the holidays. In 2020, those who have a “six days” will work an hour less. There is a possibility that Russian citizens will receive an additional day for rest in the spring of 2020. The government already practiced this transfer option earlier: the May holidays were extended for a day if the state holiday fell on Saturday or Sunday.
How many days off?
2020 is a leap year, so there are more February days than usual - 29.
According to the calendar, the 1st and 2nd numbers are Saturday and Sunday. In total, this month 9 calendar weekends are recruited, plus 1 additional - for Defender of the Fatherland Day. It turns out that the Russians will rest for 10 days, and work - 19.
Things to do?
Knowing in advance how much and how we rest on February 23, 2020, you can plan a short-term vacation. Local authorities organize thematic events in all major cities. Army-style parties, concerts, shows with contests and prizes are organized at clubs and entertainment complexes. You can have fun on the ice rinks, snow slides.
On Monday, February 24, Pancake Week begins, which is traditionally accompanied by fairs with pancakes, songs, dances, round dances. You can visit theatrical performances, watch the performances of buffoons, dance and dance with pancakes with different fillings.
A successful end to the weekend will be a pyrotechnic show. The city authorities approve and publish a detailed program of events closer to the celebrations themselves.
history of the holiday
Unofficially, Defender of the Fatherland Day is called "Men's Day." This is the male counterpart on March 8, when women congratulate the defenders of the homeland and family. 100 years ago, on January 28, 1918, the Council of People's Commissars, headed by Lenin, decided to establish the Red Army. January 29 issued a decree on the creation of the fleet.
In early January of next year, the Soviet authorities decided to celebrate the first anniversary of the establishment of the Red Army and Navy.The celebration was decided to be held on Sunday, January 28-29, but two weeks were not enough to prepare large-scale events.
At the initiative of the Moscow City Council, headed at that time by Lev Kamenev, the celebration was decided to coincide with the so-called Red Gift Day - it was held to raise money and other material values for the needs of the army. The date of the meeting was Sunday, February 23, 1919.
In 2019, “Men's Day” was a 100th anniversary.
