The State Duma named the total number of non-working days in 2026
In 2026, working Russians will have 118 days off, not counting vacations. Svetlana Bessarab, a member of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans' Affairs, from the United Russia party, told about this on April 16.
"In 2026, working Russians will have 118 days of rest, and in 2027 — 116 calendar days with 249 workers," she told TASS.
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation also establishes 14 non-working holidays during the year. And the annual paid work leave is another 28 days. At the same time, the total number of rest days varies slightly each year.
It follows that this year, working Russians will work about 60% of the total number of days, and rest — the remaining 40%.
On April 6, Igor Balynin, Associate Professor of the Department of Public Finance at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, also recalled that this year there will be no six-day working weeks for workers on schedule 5/2 in the Russian Federation. Last year, such a week was included in the calendar once — from October 27 to November 1. And in 2024, Russians worked for six days for three weeks: from April 22 to 27, from October 28 to November 2, and from December 23 to December 28.
Peter Petkilev, associate professor at the RUDN Law Institute, named the next non-working holiday on April 3. It will be on May 1, on the occasion of Spring and Labor Day. The previous long weekend in Russia was from March 7 to March 9.
