There are a lot of various holidays in different countries all over the world. In any state there are several days that are very important for the inhabitants. We all know some categories of these special days: religious, historical, national, cultural, professional, newly formed etc.
Holidays and long weekends are approved every year by decree of the Russian Prime Minister. The last decree, approved by the Prime Minister in August 2019, establishes the holidays for the year 2020.
Normally, when a holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, the preceding Monday or Friday of that week is also declared a holiday, in compensation for the holidays that fall on Saturday or Sunday. Also, some holidays that fall on Saturday or Sunday, sometimes move to Monday.
