Prime Minister Mishustin signed a decree on the postponement of weekends in 2021.
“In the new year, January 2 and 3 fall on Saturday and Sunday. Since these are non-working holidays, it was decided to postpone them to Friday, November 5, and Friday, December 31, respectively.”
The non-working Saturday of February 20 was postponed to Monday, February 22, so that the Russians had 3 days off in a row: February 21-23.
