Forecast for the battle:

The favorite in the upcoming match, according to the odds of bookmakers, is Sergey Kovalev.

This is not surprising. The Russian boxer is the current WBO light heavyweight world champion, deservedly considered the superstar of world boxing, and is in good shape. In addition, the upcoming fight will be the first in Kovalev's professional career when he performs in his homeland, which, undoubtedly, is an additional motivation for him.

And Anthony Yard, although he comes with an impressive record of 18 wins out of 18, is at the moment just a “hope of British boxing,” and most of his defeated opponents have more defeats than wins. But at the same time, Anthony has a clearly set knockout punch and behaves quite aggressively in the ring.

However, this is boxing, and each participant in the fight has a chance to win. Therefore, under no circumstances should Sergey underestimate his opponent.

Will a 4-day work week be introduced in Russia:

  Currently, most Russian citizens work five days a week. According to a study conducted by VTsIOM at the end of June 2019, some of them are interested in switching to a four-day period (naturally, while maintaining the existing wage).

So, 29% of Russians have a positive attitude towards the transition to a 4-day working week. 17% of respondents had a neutral attitude to this question, and 6% found it difficult to answer. Well, 48% of Russian residents during the survey did not support the idea of \u200b\u200breducing the working week to 4 days. The fears of this “almost half” of Russians are connected with the fact that this change as a result may lead not only to a reduction in working hours, but also to a decrease in wages.

We hasten to reassure you - now   there are no laws in forcerelated to a future reduction of the working week to four days. Also on this topic no bills are considered.

That is, in the near future:
* A four-day working week will not be introduced in Russia.

In this case, we have in mind, of course, the legislatively approved and common for all four-day period. In the event of an unstable situation and financial difficulties, individual enterprises can still introduce both a four-day and a three-day working week with a corresponding reduction in cash payments to employees.

On August 13, 2019, it became known that the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia (FNPR) sent its proposals for the transition to a 4-day worker to the Ministry of Labor. The proposal emphasized that this change should take place “with the mandatory maintenance of the previous wage.”

On August 14, 2019, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that the Kremlin is currently not discussing the transition to a four-day working week.

What Dmitry Medvedev said about the transition not a 4-day working week:

  On June 11, 2019, the Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev spoke about the advantages of switching to a four-day working week as part of his speech in Geneva at the 108th session of the international labor organization.

He predicted that the transition to four-day will happen in the near future.

Quote: “Technological progress leads to a reduction not only in jobs, but also in working hours, and to the expansion of leisure time. It is very likely that the future lies with the four-day working week as the new basis for the social and labor contract ”. YES. Medvedev.

As arguments, Dmitry Anatolyevich cited the example of the American businessman Henry Ford, who 100 years ago reduced the working week at his enterprises from 48 to 40 hours and achieved an impressive increase in labor productivity.

Also, an example was cited by the New Zealand management company Perpetual, which, after switching to a working week of 4 days, achieved an increase in labor productivity by 20% (when converted to an hour of working time). At the same time, the stress level of company employees has significantly decreased.

When a 4-day working week can be introduced in Russia:

According to experts, a four-day work week can be introduced in the Russian Federation not earlier than 2030, or in 10-15 years .

For example, this opinion is shared by the vice-rector of the Academy of Labor and Social Relations (AT&SO), ex-deputy head of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation Alexander Safonov. In his opinion, the transition to a four-day week will inevitably lead to a reduction in citizens' incomes. The exception will be those industries where payment is not made for the number of hours worked, but for the result, such as in the IT sector.
Republic Day In 2019, the celebration falls on Thursday.

In accordance with the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan, number 30-РЗ dated 05/05/2014, August 22, 2019 is a non-working holiday, an additional weekend.

Since the holiday in 19 falls on Thursday, the residents of the Republic will have one day off in the middle of the week. Friday, August 23, 2019 is a normal working day. No transfers of weekends and holidays are provided.

August 21, 2019 will be shortened or full time in the Komi Republic:

  Wednesday, August 21, 2019 - the eve of the holiday, since it precedes the holiday, is 1 hour shorter working day.



On the eve of the holidays, working citizens are interested in how to relax on February 23 and in 2017. After all, none of the holidays falls on the weekend. Recall that if a public holiday falls on a day off, working citizens can get an additional day off.

This is not regulated individually by each employer, but by the state. If your employer refuses to give you a day off on the day when the whole country is resting (except for services working seven days a week, as well as those instances where employees work in shifts), especially if it is a state-owned enterprise, you can contact the appropriate authorities to resolve this a question.

How many days can working citizens rest in February?

To plan possible options for spending your leisure time with family or friends, you need now to figure out how long the weekend will be on February 23, 2017. Since the first of January of the last month fell on Sunday (a day off), it was decided to postpone this day to the twenty-fourth of February.

In February, it's Friday. Public holiday Defender of the Fatherland Day falls on Thursday - it is a day off in all state organizations. The last days (twenty-fifth and twenty-sixth of February) are weekends - Saturday and Sunday. Thus, at the end of the month, working citizens will have 4 days off. Two of them are regular weekends, the other two are holidays.




How many days can working citizens have a rest in March?

Having figured out how many days off for February 23, 2017, citizens will need to figure out how much Russian citizens will have to rest (including working citizens and students - you are a student or schoolchild) on March 8. This day will fall on Wednesday. No additional transfers of the holiday to other days are provided. In Russia on this day all those categories of citizens about which we spoke above will be able to rest. The next day will no longer be idle. Have to go to work and educational institutions.

Next year on this holiday we will rest no more. It falls on Thursday. That is, no transfers are provided. Remember to prepare beautiful ones for your men.

Knowing how to relax on February 23 in 2017, you can draw up a preliminary plan in advance on how to congratulate your men - fathers, husbands, brothers and sons on this day. If everyone in your family works at state-owned enterprises, which will provide for as many as 4 days off on the eve of February 23, 2017, it's time to go out into the countryside.




If you have your own country house, then it is impossible to think of a better reason to break out there. Somewhat more difficult will be for those who do not have their own apartments in the country. Think of all your relatives. It is possible that one of them does not live very far, but not very close to you, where you have long wanted to visit, but still there was no time and reason to break out to them.

In addition, a house in the country, if desired, can always be rented. Be prepared for the fact that during the holidays the rental price will increase to heaven. If you take care in advance to rent a house at an affordable price, contact the company providing such services in advance. This can be done even now.




Time spent with the family away from the noisy metropolis is priceless.

On March 8th we will rest for only one day. However, this is not a reason to be upset and stay at home for the whole holiday. On this day, men should make sure that their second half rests properly. For example, you can send your wife or mother to the spa. For modern women who have to work no less than men, this is the best gift you can imagine.

You can also arrange a romantic dinner for your other half. Believe me, every woman dreams about it. True, not everyone is ready to admit it even to themselves. If for some reason you can’t go to a cafe or restaurant, a romantic dinner can be arranged right at home.

This year, Defender of the Fatherland Day falls on Tuesday. But in recent years, Russia has been trying not to “break off” the working week if there is only one worker between the weekend and the holiday. And in 2016, in accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, it was decided to postpone the day off from February 20   (Saturday) February 22 (Monday).

Thus, on the eve of the holidays, the inhabitants of the country are waiting for an “extended” six-day working week - and after it three days off dedicated to the Defender of the Fatherland Day. Mini holidays will last february 21-23.

Moreover, since February 20, Russians will come to work on the 22nd day, the working day will be considered pre-holiday, and its duration should be reduced by one hour.

How to relax on February 23, 2016 by day

Given the transfer of weekends, the holiday schedule for Defender of the Fatherland Day in 2016 will be as follows:

  • Saturday February 20th   - reduced working day (for Monday, February 22);
  • Sunday February 21   - day off;
  • February 22, Monday   - day off, transfer from Saturday;
  • February 23, Tuesday   - non-working holiday.

After a three-day holiday, the inhabitants of Russia will have a three-day working week (from Wednesday to Friday), followed by a full weekend.

Weekend in February 2016 with a six-day work week

For those who have Saturday as a full-time working day, there is no weekend transfer, so February 20 will be a normal working day for them, Sunday is a day off. The shortened pre-holiday working day for six days is Monday, February 22.

For schoolchildren studying on Saturdays, February 22nd may also turn out to be a “public day” - and parents should take this into account when planning a family vacation.

Defender of the Fatherland Day: from the history of the holiday

February 23 is celebrated in Russia for nearly a century - the first celebration took place in 1919, and the occasion was the anniversary of the formation of the Red Army. At the same time, Red Gift Day was celebrated - within its framework, residents of the country were invited to make donations for gifts to the Red Army.

In 1922, the holiday acquired its official name - February 23 became known as the Day of the Red Army and Navy. Under this name, he existed until 1949. By that time, the Red Army had already been renamed the Soviet, and February 23, respectively, became the Day of the Soviet Army and Navy. On this day, parades were held in the country, fireworks were organized, war veterans and all those involved in military service were honored. But, since at that time the overwhelming majority of men served in the army, the holiday eventually became perceived as a universal "men's day."

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Day of the Soviet Army disappeared from the calendar - and it was replaced by the Day of Defender of the Fatherland. And in February 23rd, 2002 was a day off (before that day it was considered a holiday, but a working day). So this year, the Defender of the Fatherland Day is a kind of anniversary: \u200b\u200bwe rest on February 23 in 2016 for the fifteenth time.

In 2016, the weekend of March 8 will be extended - a four-day mini-vacation will be timed to the first spring state holiday, allowing full-fledged celebration of International Women's Day.

Weekend rescheduling on March 8 in 2016

In 2016, International Women's Day will be celebrated on Tuesday - this day falls on March 8th. In recent years, it has been customary in Russia not to “tear apart” holidays. Therefore, if a public holiday is celebrated on Tuesday or Thursday, then the only working day that separates it from the weekend also becomes a day of rest - it is not postponed Saturday or Sunday. The weekend transfer schedule is approved annually by the Government of the Russian Federation.

This year, according to the schedule, on Monday, March 7, the day off from January 3 (Sunday) was rescheduled. Thus, we will rest on March 8 in 2016 for four consecutive days - starting from Saturday (fifth day) and ending with Tuesday (eighth day). After that, the inhabitants of the country will have a shortened - three-day - working week.

At the same time, the last Friday before the weekend of March 8 will be a regular, not shortened working day - since it is not a holiday, but a regular Saturday, following it on the calendar.

For organizations working on a six-day working week, as well as schoolchildren and students studying on Saturdays, March holidays will be three-day - from Sunday to Tuesday.

Days of rest on March 8 - 2016

  • saturday, March 5 - a day off (excluding those who work or study for six days);
  • sunday, March 6 - a normal day off;
  • monday, March 7 - an additional day off for everyone, transfer from January 3;
  • tuesday, March 8 - a public holiday.

From the history of the holiday on March 8

They will be resting for the 51st time in Russia on March 8, 2016: half a century ago, in 1966, International Women's Day in the USSR became the first off. And, despite the change of political regime, it remains to this day.

At that time, the holiday already had a long backstory: on March 8, it has been counting events since 1957. Then in New York took place the famous "march of empty pots" - a strike of women working in light industry, brought to the limit on a working day at 16 o'clock for a meager pay. By the way, the “march” turned out to be productive: after it, women began to work already for 10 hours a day. And in 1908, on the same day (and again in New York), another mass protest rally took place: more than 15 thousand women demanded equal rights: remuneration of labor without a “discount” on gender, the next reduction in working hours and the provision of the weak sex suffrage .

Two years later, at the women's international conference in Copenhagen, Clara Zetkin came up with the idea of \u200b\u200bestablishing an international women's day. It was assumed that on March 8, women of the world will organize mass events, drawing public attention to their problems. This initiative was supported - and soon the eighth day of spring began to be celebrated in many countries of the world.

After the October Revolution of 1917, when in most countries women already ceased to be "second-class people", the day of March 8 continued to be celebrated mainly in the socialist countries. Since 1975, it has been included in the UN calendar.

In the USSR, in the second half of the 20th century, on March 8, over time, it lost its politicization and ceased to be associated with the struggle for women's rights - and gradually turned into a “holiday of all women." At that time, Mother’s Day was not yet celebrated separately in the country, Valentine’s Day was not celebrated - and March 8 was an occasion to express love and appreciation to wives and mothers, girlfriends and colleagues. Unofficial symbols of the holiday were the first spring flowers - mimosa and tulips. And one of the most common traditions of the holiday is family “role-playing games": husbands and children that day tried to take on all the homework that a woman usually does, giving the culprit an opportunity to rest on March 8th.

In 2016, the residents of Russia have already been presented with the official holiday calendar. You should not expect any special surprises, but many citizens have already agreed that the weekend is more successful than last year.

The year 2016 has begun with the traditional New Year holidays, which lasted from January 1 to 10. Despite the opinion of some representatives of the authorities and the population that these holidays need to be reduced, most are still glad that there are still plenty of days off in January. The decision regarding how it was in February 2016 was quite interesting: in recent years, a day off in the calendar was usually postponed to May or subsequent holidays, and consisted exclusively of ordinary everyday life. This time, February 23, 2016 is a day off, and since it is Tuesday, the authorities decided to make the day off Monday, the 22nd, but with the necessary reservation. Saturday, the 20th, is a shortened working day.



In March of this year, residents of Russia expect traditional mini-holidays associated with the celebration of International Women's Day on March 8, and this time they will be a little longer. The reason for this again is that March 8 is Tuesday. The government decided not to skimp, and made Monday, March 7, also a day off. Unlike February, the preceding days, March 5 and 6, will be completely closed. On Friday, March 4, it is recommended to spend a full day, however, many managers by tradition can make it shortened and conduct a universal corporate event.


April is left without holidays: this month, citizens rejoice in the spring that has already fully arrived in most regions and expect May, which is the second most holidays on the calendar. In May 2016, we rest on May 1, 2 and 3. Thus, along with Saturday, April 30, citizens will have four days off in a row. The next favorite holiday of Victory Day is May 9th. This is Monday, so there are no surprises here. One way or another, if the official holiday follows the usual weekend, it is always convenient.



June 13, the whole country will rest in honor of the Day of Russia, whose official date is the 12th. The festive day will be on Monday, which once again surprises us with the convenience of having a weekend one after another in 2016. For example, having a day off among the workweek would be very inconvenient for many, as well as moving it to the next months. After this, a long period begins without holidays from July to November, but most citizens will have holidays, school and student vacations during it, so there is no need to grieve greatly.


National Unity Day in November 2016 falls on Friday, November 4. This time, right after the holiday, the weekend is Saturday and Sunday. Thursday, November 3, the government obliges to make shortened working hours. Thus, people will have enough time to relax and gain strength in a rainy autumn. After that, you can safely expect the New 2017 Year, especially since December 31 is Saturday.

Tip 4: How to relax on March 8 and February 23 in 2016 in Russia

Very soon, Russians will have a series of days off associated with the celebration of March 8 and February 23. What days will officially become working days and which days off.

The official non-working days dedicated to this men's holiday will be three - from Sunday (February 21) to Tuesday (February 23). On Saturday, February 22, Russians will have to go to work, as this day is officially recognized as a shortened working day on Monday. Therefore, the pre-holiday week before the Defender of the Fatherland Day will be extended. This transfer is connected not to break the weekend, but to give a rest three full days in February.

The first spring month will please the Russians with long holidays. A total of 10 calendar days will be days off and 21 will be working days. In this case, a long vacation will be associated with the celebration of March 8 - International Women's Day. The official non-working holidays this month will be March 5, 6, 7 and 8 (from Saturday to Tuesday inclusive).

Thanks to the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, in March, Russians will be able to rest for four consecutive days. March 7, 2016 became non-working, as it was postponed from January 3, thereby giving the population such a vacation.

From the history of the holiday

On this day of 1908, American women marched across New York, demanding equality. The significant date of March 8 was approved in Russia in honor of the women's strike of 1917, and socialist Klara Zetkin proposed to celebrate it.


Meanwhile, the days of veneration of the fairer sex were held in antiquity: the ancient Roman slaves could not fulfill their duties, the matrons received generous gifts from their spouses. Ladies dressed up and visited the temple of the goddess Vesta.


We are on March 8 in 2016, as in the past and the year before last, in Russia this holiday has not been perceived as political for a long time. It is now difficult to imagine life without the beloved holiday of spring, love and beauty.
