Drafted overview of May holidays in Russia and expected long break

As April comes to an end, analysts and labor law specialists note a possible extension of the May holiday period. Olga Vladimirova, an expert manager in labor law, discussed the matter in a recent interview. The essence of her message is that if a holiday falls between April 28 and April 30, workers will have three official days off, and when that block is combined with the May holidays, a longer rest period can be enjoyed. The practical outcome, she explained, is a nine day break that begins on Saturday, April 26, and carries through into early May. This approach aligns with the broader practice of arranging work and rest blocks to maximize time off while maintaining production needs.
