Russians expect 23 working days and eight days off in July. Regina Dolotina, Associate Professor of the K.N. Gusov Department of Labor Law and Social Security Law at the O.E. Kutafin University (MGUA), told about this on June 29.

"The month includes 31 calendar days, of which 23 are working days, and eight fall on traditional weekends — Saturdays and Sundays," she said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Dolotina also explained that since there are no public holidays this month, there will be no additional days off.

Sink into summer: demand for trips around the country on Russia Day increased by a quarter

What influenced the Russians' interest in short trips and which destinations they choose?

On June 21, Yaroslav Nilov, head of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans' Affairs, proposed at the legislative level to fix December 31 as a permanent day off in order to avoid annual postponements. Nilov also proposed to compensate for the changes by postponing January 8 to December 31 in order to maintain the balance of working days and weekends. The head of the committee noted that the production calendar for next year has not yet been approved and is being developed by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Olga Golyshenkova, deputy Chairman of the Commission on Economics and Labor Relations of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, said on June 3 that Russia does not need to add additional holidays, since Russians already have enough time to rest. Commenting on the continuity of the May holidays, she noted that at the moment there is no need for complete changes, since in the current system people can organize their holidays.
