The department reminded that since February 23, Defender of the Fatherland Day, falls on Sunday, the day off is postponed to Monday, the 24th.

A similar situation is with International Women's Day, which will also be a weekend. From March 7 to 9, the country will rest, and the working week will last four days.

February 21 and March 6, the working day is not reduced, informed in Rostrud.

They also noted that the next long weekend will be only in May.

In total, in 2020, Russians expect eight shortened working weeks.
