The Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Mishustin, has signed the decree 1648 which approves and officializes last spring's draft list of postponed days and public holidays in Russia in 2021 (О переносе выходных дней в 2021 году).
Last month(2020-09-10), the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Russian Federation has released its annual "Government Resolution On The Transfer Of Public Holidays in 2021", which, as usual, proposed, for online comments by the population, a draft list of official public holidays and bridge holidays in Russia for the upcoming calendar year 2021, followed, as in past years (2019-05-06), by an announcement a public debate.
However, this year, as was the case for the past 5 years (2019-07-13, 2018-09-19, 2018-07-21, 2017-10-18, 2017-09-14, 2017-05-14, 2017-03-17, 2016-08-04, 2015-09-26, 2015-06-19), some of the day in lieu public holidays that would have been mandated by the amendments to Article 112 of Russia's Labour Code (2004-12-30), have been moved to dates that would in previous years have been bridge public holidays to be compensated by a working Saturday, a practice which has not been very productive.
