To understand how we rest on June 12, 2017, you just need to look at the calendar. In the current season, in honor of the Day of Russia, there will be no transfers, but due to the fact that the twelfth day falls on the first working day of the week, the previous weekend joins it. That is, it turns out that in honor of the Day of Russia this year it will be possible to have a great rest for three days in a row. If you are going to barbecue, then study.
Every year, many Russians are concerned about the question of how we relax on June 12, 2017, because Russia Day is a red day on the calendar, which is separately spelled out in various documents, including the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. This year, the calendar shows that just to the usual days off Saturday June 10 and Sunday June 11, June 12 is added as an official holiday, Russia Day and a red day in the calendar. With a five-day working week, the rest will turn out to be just exactly three days.
That is, you need to go to work next week only on Tuesday, June 13, which, of course, cannot but please all working people. To relax an extra day in the summer, when the weather is beautiful, there is a lot of delicious food and the sun is shining - this is a real holiday in itself. Friday June 9 will not be a shortened working day, because it does not fall directly on the day before the holiday, as prescribed by law.
Sovereignty and June 12
Three days is the total number of days off for a five-day working week, how much we rest on June 12, 2017. The Day of Russia holiday can be considered relatively new. It appeared on the calendar only in 1994, and received its modern name only 15 years ago, before that the twelfth day of summer was called the Day of National Sovereignty. This day was also called Independence Day, although this is fundamentally wrong: Russia was an independent country long before the collapse of the USSR.
History milestones
It must be admitted that the old generation still has not figured out the origins of this holiday, because Soviet traditions and important Soviet memorable days are still remembered. The younger generation, in its essence, quick grasp of information, generally tries not to delve deeply into the essence of the holidays: the red day of the calendar, the day off, nature and barbecue - this is quite enough and this is an occasion in itself.
However, if we turn to historical books and events, then for Rus' the beginning of summer in one way or another has always been important and special. For example, on June 4, 1157, Andrei Yurievich Bogolyubsky, Prince of Rostov and Suzdal, was elected, and as a result, northeastern Rus' became independent of Kievan Rus. Interesting parallel, isn't it? Even later, the Grand Duchy of Vladimir, which this prince ruled, became Moscow. What became the basis for the formation of an independent Russian state and Kievan Rus collapsed.
Interesting! If we take into account the difference between the Gregorian and Julian calendars, then the election of Prince Bogolyubsky and Boris Yeltsin was one day apart. Coincidence or all the same sign?
In fact, you can talk a lot about the origins, traditions and customs of this holiday, what was done in. In the meantime, it must be emphasized that in honor of the Day of Russia in 2017, there will be exactly three days of rest in a row from June 10 to June 12, you should go to work on Tuesday June 13. Good weather and good mood, wherever you decide to celebrate this summer holiday!
