✅ Russia Calendar —
Description (Clean, One-Paragraph Format)
The Russian calendar is a blend of state public holidays, deep-rooted Orthodox
Christian traditions, Soviet-era commemorations, cultural observances, and
global awareness days. Major public holidays include New Year celebrations,
Defender of the Fatherland Day, International Women’s Day, Spring and Labour
Day, Victory Day, Russia Day, and National Unity Day. Religious observances
follow the Russian Orthodox Church calendar, including Christmas in January,
Epiphany, Easter, and Trinity Sunday. Cultural and historical events mark key
milestones from Russia’s imperial, Soviet, and modern eras. International
days—such as Environment Day, Human Rights Day, and Women’s Day—also feature
widely. Family-oriented occasions like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day round out
the annual rhythm, making Russia’s calendar a combination of national identity,
religious heritage, historical memory, and global participation.
