Russians will have a three-day work week next week because of the Russia Day holiday on June 12th. This national holiday, which falls on a Thursday, will create a four-day weekend lasting from June 12th to June 15th.

The shortened work week is a result of Russia Day and a transferred day off. Wednesday, June 11th, will be a shortened workday. Furthermore, Friday, June 13th, will be a non-working day due to the transfer of a day off from March 8th, which fell on a Saturday this year.

Overall, June will have 19 working days and 11 non-working days.

Russia Day was officially approved on June 11, 1992, and it gained the status of a national holiday in 1994.
