Working days in Russia, 2025
Russia has 247 working days in 2025: the year's 262 weekdays, minus the 15 nationwide public holidays that land on one. The month-by-month table below is computed from the same holiday data the calendar maker prints.
Includes the transferred days. Russia moves rest days by government decree, and this year's transfers are included, so the total matches the official production calendar. Source: Government Decree 1335/2024 on the transfer of days off in 2025 (published calendar).

- The fullest month is July with 23 working days; the lightest is January with 17.
- Counts use nationwide holidays only — regional ones (a state day in the US, a cantonal day in Switzerland) reduce the total further where they apply.
- Weekends are Saturday and Sunday. Half-day customs — a Christmas Eve afternoon, a Bayram eve — are not subtracted.
Which holidays are subtracted
The 15 nationwide holidays falling on weekdays come from the same dataset as the Russia public holidays 2025 page, which lists each one with the weekday it lands on — and how Russia's holiday system works:
- Russia’s New Year holidays run as a statutory block from 1 January into the first week of the year, with Orthodox Christmas on 7 January inside it — the longest standing holiday cluster in Europe.
- Each year a government decree shuffles adjacent working days to extend holiday bridges, so the exact non-working pattern for future years is provisional until that decree appears.
- When a holiday falls at a weekend, the day off is carried to a working day under the same yearly decree.
