What makes the Russia calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Russia signature lives in the other dates: День России (Russia Day, 12 giugno), found in no other country in the dataset; Новогодние каникулы (New Year holiday, 2 gennaio), shared with a single other country; Новогодние каникулы (New Year holiday, 3 gennaio), shared with a single other country. The longest dry spell of the year runs from День России (12 giugno) to День народного единства (4 novembre): 145 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 13 nationwide holidays and День России will fall on a sabato (12 giugno).
