Regional Holidays
Subjects of the Russian Federation have the right to declare their own holidays and days off.
So, in Bashkortostan, Tatarstan, Adygea, Dagestan, Ingushetia, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia and Chechnya - in regions where a large number of Muslims live, non-working holidays are:
- Eid al-Adha is the holiday of the end of the Hajj in Mecca, celebrated on the 10th day of the 12th month of Zul Hijjah according to the Islamic calendar (dates are shifted every year, since, unlike the Gregorian calendar, which counts the year according to the revolution of the Sun around the Earth, the Islamic focused on the phases of the moon);
- Eid al-Adha is a holiday in honor of the end of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan, celebrated on the 1st day of the month of Shawval.
In the Republic of Yakutia, everyone rests on the pagan holiday "Ysyakh" - a celebration in honor of summer and the rebirth of nature (celebrated between June 10 and June 25, the date is each time appointed by a special decree).
In the republics of Buryatia and Kalmykia, people do not work during the Buddhist celebration of Tsagan Sar: the onset of the new year and the beginning of spring are celebrated in January-February on the day of the new moon.
Also, in most constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a non-working holiday is a day dedicated to the formation of each of the republics.
