The OP recalled the working Monday after Easter

In 2026, Easter falls on Sunday, April 12, and is not a public holiday, so there will be no postponement of the weekend to Monday in all regions except the Republic of Crimea. This was announced on March 30 by Evgeny Masharov, a member of the commission of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation for the public examination of draft laws and other regulations.

"It is important to understand that Russia is a multinational country where, in addition to the Orthodox, representatives of other faiths also live. Accordingly, there is no official day off for the Orthodox Easter holiday," he said in an interview with TASS.

Masharov noted that Article 14 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation emphasizes the secular nature of the state, prohibiting any faiths from taking a leading position in the state. However, he noted that Article 6 of the Labor Code, "Delineation of powers between federal government bodies and state authorities of the subjects of the Russian Federation in the field of labor relations and other directly related relations," gives regional authorities the right to set additional days off.

According to labor legislation, the duration of a working day or shift is reduced by one hour immediately on the eve of non-working holidays.
