  Where to spend May Day holidays

Our holidays are not continuous, but are divided into two blocks. But in this short-term vacation you can have a good time.

Country weekend

May is the harbinger of summer. The weather, as a rule, is warm, so get out into the nature, you will not regret it. And it doesn’t matter that it is a summer residence, recreation center, a tent by the river - the main thing is closer to the sun, fresh air, a heart-to-heart conversation with relatives and friends.

Holidays abroad

You are not constrained in means, with the bosses on a short leg, country entertainments do not appeal to you? Take time off, combine the weekend and go - abroad, towards exotic. Hotels and beaches of Cyprus, Greece, Egypt, Spain, India, with inexpensive and unobtrusive service at your service.

Russian tour

But it’s not at all necessary to leave for the cordon in order to have a nontrivial rest. Embark on a journey to Russia or the nearest abroad. Breathe in antiquity by visiting the ancient temples of Suzdal or Yaroslavl, admire the Karelian waterfalls, visit the bridges in St. Petersburg or wander through the Tsaritsyno park in the suburbs. And many more interesting and exciting things can be found nearby. Choose what you like, depending on preference, distance to the desired object, capital.

Where to relax on Victory Day 2017

If, due to financial or everyday problems, you cannot go anywhere on May days, don’t be upset, but immerse yourself in the cultural and entertainment program of your city.

• View the exit poster. Choose and visit what you are interested in: amateur concerts, sporting events, art exhibitions, tasting some yummy or performing outdoors in the open air with an indispensable night fireworks.
• And on May 9, be sure to go to a military parade. See how cadets, veterans, military equipment, an immortal regiment will pass through the main square. Would you like to join? Please, it is not forbidden, everyone can go in the column.

May holidays are great. Do you want to have time for everything - to delve into the garden, breathe in oxygen, chat with relatives, attend special events? Plan your vacation in advance, you have plenty of time for this.

All people really like holidays and weekends. Two May celebrations are especially beloved for the inhabitants of Russia - this is Labor Day, or as it was originally called, the Day of Workers' Solidarity, and the second holiday is, of course, Victory Day in World War II.

But for working people, the question remains how many days off and in what order they will be provided so that they have the opportunity to plan their holidays in advance.

In order to find out how the Russians will rest in May 2017, a special production calendar was installed, which reflects all the holiday dates, weekend transfers and other necessary information for the population.

Unfortunately, for the time being, workers cannot independently choose their own weekend dates, although such proposals are received from the State Duma deputies, but they are still under consideration.

It is hoped that someday the time will come back to Russia when not only the day of May 1, but also two days after, was considered a holiday, so the holidays in May turned out to be continuous and this expanded the possibilities of rest - for example, you can go somewhere and Do not be afraid not to be in time for going to work.

Currently, on the fourth of August 2016, Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev approved a plan according to which working time and rest time in May 2017 will be built.

So, the free day will be of course May 1 - the Festival of Spring and Labor. This day is Monday and therefore will be a nice bonus for the weekend - Saturday and Sunday, which means that in total, in early May, the vacation will last three days in a row.

On this day in all cities celebrations will be held - processions with flags and posters, exhibitions - fairs, concerts and performances by artists!

Many people really love this holiday for its unique spring atmosphere - festive confusion reigns on the streets and the air is already so warm and smells of flowering trees - what else can you dream of!

Moreover, despite the fact that May Day is a day of work, there is a chance of rest from this work! In addition, people are in anticipation of the second portion of a small holiday vacation!

For the second and most important holiday, two days of the official weekend are allotted according to the production calendar - this is 8 and on May 9, it will be Monday and Tuesday, which means, plus the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, plus 4 days for rest in a row.

The eighth of May will be Monday, and the Russians will rest on this day due to January 7, because this year's Christmas was on Saturday. And this means that you can safely go to nature, go on a visit and fry kebabs.

Great Victory Day is a special holiday for many. And sad and joyful at the same time. Someone recalls the events of past years, someone listens with interest to the stories of veterans, because there are so few of them and you need to absorb everything that they say.

After all, the time will soon come when children will not be able to learn firsthand from those who went through it, and will only read about this Great Victory in books.

Tears of happiness, pride and gratitude can be seen on this day on people's faces. Yes, for many this is not just a weekend! Throughout the country, military parades will be held, military equipment displays, and so loved in several years and received a huge response in the hearts of people - "Immortal Regiment".

This colossal procession numbers thousands of people across the country. And of course, at the end of the holiday, according to tradition, after the end of the entertainment events, the sky will be used to color the solemn salute.

Thus, it is easy to make a schedule of weekends and holidays in 2017

• Weekends: from April 29 to May 1 inclusive;
• Then it will be necessary to return to workdays for 4 days: from May 2 to May 5, after which the next series of weekends and holidays: from May 6 to 9.

It turns out that in May the Russians will have 11 days off. Of course, it’s hard to return to work after a large number of days off, especially since the weather promises to be wonderful. And to sit in the office after several days spent in the fresh air is another test.

But another pleasant circumstance is that since May 9 is Tuesday, the country will go to work only on Wednesday, and therefore the working week after the holidays will consist of only three days.

The listed holidays are very famous and there is hardly a person who does not know, does not like and does not wait for these May days. But there are also such holidays in May that few people know about, but nevertheless are celebrated by certain categories of citizens.

Unfortunately, these days are not recognized as official holidays, except for those that fall on Saturday or Sunday on the calendar, otherwise I would have to rest all of May, but after all, sometime you need to earn money, even for that very vacation.

For those people who do not like to relax, or simply for some reason cannot leave their jobs on these days, the state provides for compensation in the form of double wages on official holidays and weekends.

Or the employee can choose to pay in the usual amount, but the employer must provide him with a weekend on the days when it is needed or add them to the annual leave.

All these norms are spelled out in the labor legislation of the Russian Federation.

These are the dates:

• May 3 - marks the day of printing,
• On May 5, people with disabilities around the world fight for their rights,
• May 5 - on this day, midwives celebrate their professional holiday, do not forget to congratulate your loved ones and friends of this wonderful profession.
• May 7 - Radio Day is celebrated, as well as the day when the Armed Forces of Russia were created,
• May 8 is a beautiful day - Mother’s Day, this is a wonderful occasion to call mom, give her flowers, or just drop by,
• May 12 - Nurses celebrate their holiday,
• May 21 - Day of the polar explorer,
• May 28 is Border Guard Day, and May 31 is a great reason to try to quit smoking, because World No Tobacco Day is celebrated on this day.

Yes, in Russia there is always a reason for a holiday!

In Russia, they look forward to spring, especially the May holidays.

In particular, these holidays are waiting for:

• lovers to relax in nature, because the warm sun warms and invites you to fresh air so tempting that it is difficult to resist;
• summer residents, gardeners and gardeners, for them the beginning of May is a crucial period of preparation for the season;
• travelers, for these people, May holidays are another chance to explore new territories and gain emotions.

* Pre-holiday days, in which the duration of work is reduced by one hour.

Citizens will rest in May this year for four consecutive days - from Sunday, April 29 to Wednesday, May 2. May 9, which fell on Wednesday in 2018, will not be postponed anywhere - this day will be a day off, and on May 10, on Thursday, the Russians will return to their jobs.

A weekend on Wednesday, May 2, is obtained by transferring a holiday weekend to it from January 7, 2018, which fell on Sunday. For a free Monday, April 30, citizens will have to work Saturday, April 28.

Last year, the May weekend layout looked different: May 1, 8, and 9 were celebrated. Moreover, the weekend of the New Year and Christmas holidays was postponed to May 8, due to the fact that Christmas in 2017 fell on Saturday and was not compensated in the winter. Thus, in 2017, residents of the Russian Federation in May twice received an extended weekend - the first from April 29 to May 1 (Saturday, Sunday, Monday), and the second from May 6 to 9 (Saturday to Tuesday).

In addition, this year the Russians will rest for three consecutive days in June in connection with the celebration of the Day of Russia - from Sunday, June 10, to Tuesday, June 12. The day off from Saturday, June 9th will be rescheduled for Monday, June 11th.

The holiday schedule for 2019 is planned to be published in the coming months. The press service of Gazeta.Ru specified that

the department "plans to prepare and post for public discussion a draft resolution fixing the procedure for the transfer of days of rest in 2019, in May-June of the current year."

Discussions about lengthening the May holidays due to the New Year, reducing the number of holidays and weekends are resumed in the country every few months. So, in June last year, they came up with a proposal to reduce the number of New Year's holidays, limiting December 31, January 1 and 7. At the same time, members of the Communist Party proposed adding to the number of official holidays March 18 — the Day of the reunification of Crimea with Russia and making the day off November 7 — the Great October Socialist Revolution Day. The corresponding bill was introduced in, but did not find support from their colleagues from other factions.

In 2016, the faction tried to contribute to changing the holiday calendar. The deputies introduced a bill recognizing December 31 as an official holiday, arguing that the labor efficiency on this day is extremely low. However, the State Duma rejected this bill.

In February of this year, a new “vacation” idea came from the Russian government. The Vice Premier proposed a new school winter vacation schedule with the ability to adjust their dates depending on weather conditions and snow availability in order to develop skiing in Russian resorts.

“We are considering making an experiment. If children from sports schools that focus on skiing come from the neighboring regions of the Southern Federal District, we can offer to move the holidays, ”he said. According to Khloponin, in Europe this mechanism is flexible and states can tolerate children's vacations depending on the presence of snow cover.

“We do not have such a flexible system. It all depends on the weather and the presence of snow. There is no snow, so we missed the ski season. This is wrong, ”said the deputy chairman of the government.

In general, this idea resonated with the public, but things haven’t gone beyond conversations yet.

From time to time, it is suggested at different levels that Russians have too many holidays and weekends. However, according to a study conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (), Russians work 1978 hours a year on average and rank sixth in the world for this indicator.

second only to the inhabitants of Mexico, Costa Rica, South Korea, Greece and Chile by workaholism.

It is worth noting that Russia has a rather large vacation: 28 calendar days. Moreover, for some categories of citizens an increased vacation is provided. For example, employees have a rest of 30 calendar days, minors - 31 days, and employees of professional emergency services and groups have the right to rest up to 40 calendar days, depending on the length of service.

To all this are added state holidays - non-working days. Moreover, in none of the above countries there are New Year holidays as in Russia.

Experts have repeatedly noted that the number of working hours does not affect labor productivity.

“If people sit more at work, this does not mean that they will produce more, because production is limited by effective demand,” said the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, the former Minister of Labor and Social Policy. Despite the fact that production with a continuous cycle work even on weekends.

Low incomes for working citizens, she said, are associated with a lack of effective demand and long vacations or a shorter work week are one way to overcome the crisis, she adds.

“Most of all labor productivity is tied to investments, equipment and technologies, and not how many people rest,” the chief development economist believes.
