Country weekend
May is the harbinger of summer. The weather, as a rule, is warm, so get out into nature, you will not regret it. And it doesn't matter what it is - a dacha, a recreation center, a tent by the river - the main thing is closer to the sun, fresh air, sincere conversation with family and friends.
Holidays abroad
You are not constrained in funds, with bosses on a short leg, dacha entertainments do not seduce you? Take time off, combine the weekend and go abroad, towards the exotic. Hotels and beaches of Cyprus, Greece, Egypt, Spain, India, with an inexpensive and unobtrusive service at your service.
Tour in Russia
But it is not at all necessary to leave for the cordon in order to have a non-trivial rest. Go to travel in Russia or the near abroad. Breathe in the old days by visiting the ancient temples of Suzdal or Yaroslavl, admire the Karelian waterfalls, visit the bridges in St. Petersburg or wander through the Tsaritsyn park in the Moscow region. And many more interesting and exciting things can be found near you. 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 the days of May, do not be discouraged, but immerse yourself in the cultural and entertainment program of your city.
- Check out the weekend poster. Choose and visit what you are interested in: amateur concerts, sport competitions, exhibitions of works of folk craftsmen, tasting of some yummy food or performance of stars in the open air with an indispensable night fireworks.
- And on May 9, be sure to go to the military parade. See how cadets, veterans, military equipment, immortal regiment... Would you like to join? Please, it's not forbidden, everyone can go in the column.
May holidays are big. Do you want to have time for everything - dig in the garden, breathe in oxygen, talk with relatives, attend special events? Plan your vacation in advance, you have plenty of time for this.
All people are very fond of holidays and weekends. Especially favorite for the inhabitants of Russia are two May celebrations - this is Labor Day or as it was originally called - the Day of Solidarity of Workers, and the second holiday is, of course, Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War.
But for working people, the question remains very important, how many days off and in what order they will be provided so that they have the opportunity to plan their vacation in advance.
To find out how the Russians will rest in May 2017, a special production calendar was established, which reflects all holiday dates, weekend reschedules and other necessary information for the population.
Unfortunately, for the time being, employees cannot independently choose their weekend dates, although such proposals are received from the State Duma deputies, but they are still under consideration.
It remains to be hoped that someday in Russia the time will return when not only the first of May itself was considered festive, but also two days after, thus, the holidays in May turned out to be continuous and this expanded the possibilities of rest - for example, you can go somewhere and not to be afraid of not being in time for going to work.
Currently, on the fourth of August 2016, Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev approved a plan according to which work time and rest time in May 2017.
So, of course, a non-working day will be May 1 - the Holiday of Spring and Labor. This day is Monday and therefore will be a pleasant bonus to the weekend - Saturday and Sunday, which means that in total, in early May, the rest will last three days in a row.
On this day, festive events will be held in all cities. celebrations- processions with flags and posters, exhibitions - fairs, concerts and performances by artists!
Many people love this holiday very much for its unique spring atmosphere - festive commotion 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 labor day, there is a chance to rest from this labor! Plus, people are looking forward to the second portion of their little holiday break!
On the second and most important holiday, two days of official days off according to the production calendar are allotted - this is May 8 and actually May 9, it will be Monday and Tuesday, which means, respectively, adding Saturday and Sunday weekend here, it turns out 4 days of rest in a row.
May 8 will be Monday, and the Russians are resting on this day at the expense of January 7, because Christmas this year was on Saturday. And this means that you can safely go to nature, go on a visit and have barbecue.
The Great Victory Day is a special holiday for many. And sad and joyful at the same time. Someone recalls the events of the past years, someone listens with interest to the stories of veterans, because there are so few of them left and you need to absorb everything they say.
After all, the time will soon come when children will not be able to learn about the Great Patriotic War from the first lips of those who went through it, and will read about this Great Victory only in books.
Tears of happiness, pride and gratitude can be seen on the faces of people on this day. Yes, for many, this is not just a weekend! Military parades, screenings will be held throughout the country military equipment, and so beloved for several years and received a huge response in the hearts of people - "Immortal regiment".
This colossal procession has 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, paint the sky with a solemn fireworks.
Thus, it is easy to draw up 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 another series of weekends and holidays: from May 6 to 9.
It so happens that the Russians will have 11 days off in total in May. Of course it's hard to go back to work after a large number weekend, the more the weather promises to be wonderful. And sit in the office after a few days spent on fresh air- that's another test.
But another pleasant circumstance will be that since May 9 is Tuesday, the country will go to work only by 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 love and does not wait for these May days. But there are also such holidays in May, which few know about, but nevertheless are celebrated by certain categories of citizens.
Unfortunately, these days are not recognized as official days off, except for those that fall on Saturday or Sunday according to the calendar, otherwise you would have to rest all May, but after all, one day you need to earn money, at least for that very vacation.
For those people who do not like to rest or simply for some reason cannot leave their jobs on these days, the state provides compensation in the form of double wages on official holidays and weekends.
Alternatively, the employee may choose to pay at the usual rate, but the employer must provide him with days off on the days when it is required, or add them to the annual leave.
All these norms are spelled out in the labor legislation of the Russian Federation.
These dates are:
- May 3 - the day of the press is celebrated,
- On May 5, disabled people around the world are fighting for their rights,
- May 5 - on this day, midwives celebrate their professional holiday, do not forget to congratulate your loved ones and friends for this wonderful profession.
