The calendar for 2023 has five holidays that fall on Monday or Friday so that they can be combined.
The first holiday of the year is optional and appears only on February 21 – Maslenitsa.
After that, there are only holidays in April, a month that will have three extra days of rest, as well as the first big weekend of the year.
On March 26, daylight saving time begins and that night will be one hour less.
