Russians are waiting for a long weekend due to the postponement of holidays

Russians expect long weekends due to the postponement of public holidays.

International Women's Day, which is celebrated on March 8, fell on a weekend. According to labor legislation, if a holiday coincides with a weekend, it is postponed to the next working day. Thanks to this, citizens will have a rest on March 7, 8 and 9, and the working week will last from the 10th to the 13th.

In early March, Russians will rest for three days in a row.

Polina Voronina, Director of b2b marketing at the Flowwow flower and gift marketplace, spoke about the most popular colors for March 8, 2026. According to her, tulips are given twice as often.
