A short working week has begun in Russia on the occasion of the celebration of May 1.

The short working week, which will last four days until April 30, began in Russia on April 27. This follows from the data of the production calendar published on the website of the State Duma.

The shortened week is associated with the celebration of Spring and Labor Day. In 2026, May 1 falls on a Friday, so with a five-day schedule, this day will be a non-working day.
