How will they rest on Constitution Day? Constitution Day of the Russian Federation - a day off or not? Holidays in July

The Constitution Day of the Russian Federation has been celebrated since 1994, when its date was determined - December 12. On this day, only a year earlier, the Constitution was adopted, which is still in force today.

This legal document spells out all the laws and norms of modern society. It consists of two sections, the first section includes 9 chapters, and the second talks about conclusions, transitions and amendments to the constitution. These chapters provide information about the state structure, human rights and freedoms, the President of Russia, the judiciary and the prosecutor's office, and many other aspects of the structure of society. The Constitution itself is not a law, but a basis for legislation and has the highest legal force, that is, it is indisputable and is implemented regardless of other factors. It was on it that all Russian presidents took their oath. This holiday is celebrated everywhere in the state, as well as by compatriots abroad.

Will we have a rest on December 12th?

And yet, is Russian Constitution Day in 2017 a day off or not? In 2004, holidays and weekends were changed, and since 2005 it has ceased to be a public holiday on which everyone rests. Now on Constitution Day of Russia 2017 we both relax and work - this day has been moved from the list of weekends to memorable dates.

Despite the exclusion of Constitution Day from the “red days of the calendar,” Russians continue to celebrate this day. A variety of events are held on December 12th. Schools conduct additional social studies lessons in which children are taught about the constitution, its legal aspects and the history of the adoption of this important law. Various information meetings and corporate events are held in higher educational institutions, as well as at places of work of the population. Government representatives hold ceremonial meetings, including at the highest level. Also, schools, universities, theaters and other institutions can host various amateur concerts, performances and similar events, the main goal of which is to convey information about the importance of the Constitution to the younger generation. But it is important not only for children and youth to instill patriotism and provide access to legal knowledge - adults should also sometimes be reminded of the value of human rights and freedoms and other provisions that are spelled out in the Constitution and the implementation of which is protected by it.

Despite changes in legislation, in people's minds, somewhat due to the force of habit, May 2, November 7 and many other dates, including Russian Constitution Day 2017, are holidays. In 2017, this memorable date falls on Tuesday. Events dedicated to legal studies for children, youth and adults will be held in various localities. At the city level, various youth forums, thematic exhibitions, conferences, concerts and other entertainment and information events are held on this day. In past years, schoolchildren and students prepared on their own for December 12 exhibitions, performances and speeches telling about the 1993 Constitution, the referendum at which it was adopted and other issues related to it. December 12 is not a day off in 2017.

This year, 2017, with the support of government at all levels, is unlikely to lag behind previous years, and young minds will again sort out the basis of legislation for themselves and others. And Constitution Day and the weekends following it can be spent with benefit, both for yourself and for your family.

The # symbol on the calendar above marks public holidays, which are official days off in Russia.

Of course, in reality there are many more holiday dates than listed here. Each profession has its own holiday, which can be found in the section “Professional holidays”; there are also “Religious holidays” and “Social holidays”. As a result, if you look at it, every day today also has more than one holiday. Whether this is good or bad is a big question, because in one case the constant extravaganza in the form of continuous holidays dulls the feeling of the holiday, on the other hand there is always something to celebrate.
And yet, despite the abundance of holidays, even today, we would recommend that you choose dates that are significant for you, we recommend that you observe moderation, so to speak, which will allow you to live fully and not get bored!

This means we should not forget about the important and vital, that is, about those dates when in our country, and in the world, it is customary to at least partially remember what we should think about every day, hourly and minute by minute. This is about protecting and preserving our environment and nature in all its manifestations. And since our site is congratulatory, and therefore deals with significant dates, then of course we could not ignore the Ecological calendar of the year, which will be presented here!

Toasts for all occasions

Everything in our lives changes every day, and it is impossible to resist this, and there is no need to! Moreover, many of the events that we encounter every day are pleasant and desirable. This is us about holidays and special dates. This is the time to prepare for such an event thoroughly and accordingly, that is, to think about it and make a worthy speech. So, so that you don’t have to invent anything special, we suggest you use toasts from our website.
This is where you will find toasts for every day, for any occasion. at the same time, toasts will delight not only you, but also all the guests present at the important event with their significance, charisma and meaning.

Holidays in January

There are quite a lot of holidays in January. These include post-New Year holidays associated directly with the new year, say the old new year and holidays that historically fell into the month of January. Moreover, in January there are many religious, political and simply historical holidays. All, or rather the most significant, of these dates and holidays are listed in our section “Holidays and Dates in January”. If you are interested in what specific days these are and why they are significant, then be sure to visit this section.

Holidays in February

The February holidays still keep everyone and everything on their toes. After all, they are not so insignificant and invisible. Each of you will name the most popular holidays in February yourself. The first significant holiday is Valentine's Day, or as it is also called St. Valentine's Day.
But the second important date in February is Defender of the Fatherland Day. It also has a second name, simply February 23rd. In fact, there are many more holidays in February. And you can get acquainted with all these holidays in our category.

Holidays in March

You can immediately tell offhand the most important holiday of March! This is, of course, International Women's Day. And indeed, with spring, not only does nature come to life, streams flow, the sun warms up, but also, like wax candles, our feelings begin to melt. And first of all, this is connected with the beautiful and beautiful... And that is why the first thing that comes to mind in March is the holiday of all girls, women, grandmothers!
In fact, in March there are many other holidays, professional and religious...

Holidays in April

In April, the sun no longer tickles your nose, but truly warms you. You can walk more and longer. This means that the most valuable holidays are those that can be spent outside and all together. As a rule, the most important Orthodox holiday, namely Easter, falls in April. On this holiday they organize a religious procession, a service and, of course, they don’t forget to decorate Easter eggs and bake delicious Easter cakes!
Actually, in this month, despite this great holiday, everything goes on as usual. That is, in April there are many professional dates that also do not go unnoticed.

Holidays in May

Here it is, a truly warm spring month - May, the harbinger of a hot summer, sultry days, warm nights. When each of us enjoys the warmth, spends a lot of time outdoors and travels, and simply enjoys life without the cold...
That is why the May holidays seem especially joyful, warm, and bright to us. However, even if we ignore the onset of the warm season, we cannot say that the holidays in May are not important. Let's remember the most popular of them. Already on May 1st we are greeted by a holiday - the day of peace, labor, spring. May 9 - Victory Day. These are important holidays for the country and for everyone. And in May there are many professional holidays: the day of the border guard, librarian, freelancer... You can find out about all these holidays in our category.

Holidays in June

The first month of summer makes us happy with the day of our country, Russia Day. This is a significant public holiday, which is also a day off. That's why everyone knows about him! Someone on this day really stands up for the successes of our country and praises our complex and thorny special path in the world among other powers. And someone simply spends this summer day with benefit for themselves and their family. In any case, the holiday turns out to everyone’s benefit and joy!
And besides, the warm season for our country is already a holiday that is with us every day until autumn!

Holidays in July

The hottest month of the year is already taking the reins of the year in order to drive away the flying summer days, giving us unforgettable moments of sun, warm rain and summer holidays. And apparently, since summer itself is not a bad holiday, there are not so many holiday dates in the summer months. Or rather, they are not as significant as autumn dates and other seasons.
Here you can highlight the day of the kiss, the day of the baptism of Rus', the day of trade...
Of course, there are many other dates in the month, but these holidays seem to us to be the most significant on an overall scale for our country and for our society. Therefore, be content with what you have and simply enjoy every moment! Moreover, many people have vacations in the summer, which is also a big holiday!

Holidays in August

It's the last month of summer, which means it's time to take stock. The same results of the work that we did this summer. It is not for nothing that religious holidays associated with the harvest begin in August. These are Bread Saved, Honey Saved, Apple Saved.
The August holidays are holidays for those who have worked well, those who will reap something, but not easily remember the fleeting passing summer.
Also, how can one not remember Airborne Forces Day in August? Many people look forward to this holiday in order to hear and learn something new about what can be done by an unreasonable person in the guise of a person, hiding behind slogans that only such people can do something special . And sometimes this is exactly what happens!
Of course, in August, the holiday of Railwayman's Day comes to mind. Our country is large and there are many people in this profession!

Holidays in September

September has just begun and bam, it’s already a holiday. Everyone awaits this day in their own way. Someone with particular zeal wants to plunge into study in order to communicate with peers and comprehend the wisdom of science, while someone is waiting for him with a certain hopelessness that there is nowhere to go.
But in any case, remembering the holidays of September, it is September 1 that immediately comes to mind - the Day of Knowledge. This day is always beautiful, significant, and also significant.
In addition, this month, only at the end of the month, there is a holiday for all those who prepare children for school, namely preschool teachers.
From religious holidays, you can remember the dates of many saints, be it the day of the Apostle Bartholomew, the prophet and seer of God Moses, but there is nothing supernatural or great in this month!
So religious people can spend their strength and bright feelings on intensive home schooling with their children, especially after the summer this is important.

Holidays in October

Well, the time of year is passing, and the warm seasons are already behind us and the season is coming - the charm of the eyes. October will delight us with such holidays as the Day of Older Persons. We don’t know to what extent the holiday was chosen in accordance with the season, that is, it seems like older people and autumn, everything is intertwined, everything comes together. All we have to say is that this holiday is famous and obviously respected. After all, this date is widely known!
Also in October is Criminal Investigation Day, Customs Day and other professional holidays.
As for religious holidays, similar to September, there is a certain lull here, that is, there is nothing special. There are certain holy days, but this is not particularly important.

Holidays in November

The cold season is coming, which means we all want to snuggle closer to each other, plunge into the atmosphere of warm family warmth, friendships and get-togethers. Holidays are already being held more and more at home, and their significance is no longer so important, because it is unlikely that you will be able to go out for a full-fledged picnic.
Actually in November the most important public holiday is National Unity Day. Which only confirms our words that everyone wants unity, but not everyone succeeds.
On this day, everyone also rests and most spend it at their own discretion, still managing to take a walk while it is not yet seriously cold. In the month, of course, there is a professional holiday for a bank employee, RCBZ troops, KVN day...

Holidays in December

Well, no one needs to tell anyone what holiday we are waiting for this month. Moreover, we wait for him not only for a month, some wait for him all year. Right after the New Year has passed, many are ready to celebrate it again. But miracles don’t happen, which may be for the best, because then the significance of the New Year’s holiday would come to naught. So, the most important holiday in December is New Year.
Also in December are Constitution Day of the Russian Federation, Lawyer's Day, and Power Engineer's Day. There are plenty of energy workers in our country, so the holiday is very popular.
Among the religious holidays, you can celebrate the Day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, or more simply Nicholas, Klaus, and even more simply our Santa Claus! So everything still points to the celebration of the main date of the year, and everything else is on the way!

It would seem that just recently, December 12 was a national holiday, a short respite from work, which gave strength to finish work before the New Year holidays. A lot has changed now.

The Constitution Day of the Russian Federation has been celebrated since 1994, when its date was determined - December 12. On this day, only a year earlier, the Constitution was adopted, which is still in force today.

This legal document spells out all the laws and norms of modern society. It consists of two sections, the first section includes 9 chapters, and the second talks about conclusions, transitions and amendments to the constitution. These chapters provide information about the state structure, human rights and freedoms, the President of Russia, the judiciary and the prosecutor's office, and many other aspects of the structure of society.

It was on it that all Russian presidents took their oath. This holiday is celebrated everywhere in the state, as well as by compatriots abroad.

Will we have a holiday on December 12?

And Constitution Day and the weekends following it can be spent with benefit, both for yourself and for your family.

The New Year traditionally began with a strong holiday. How to force yourself to work after the holidays is one of the most popular requests on the Internet today. The best way to get into a working mood is to think about the good, that is, that this is only the first weekend of the new year. We have another 112 days of rest ahead of us.

March

Wednesday, March 8th on International Women's Day.

April

No holidays, but there is a nice bonus from May. May 1 - Spring and Labor Day falls on Monday. April 29 and 30 - Saturday and Sunday. Accordingly, it turns out to be 3 days off in a row, why not spring break?

In addition to Spring and Labor Day, this month there is another holiday - Victory Day, which falls on Tuesday this year. But hello again from the New Year holidays, which saved us an extra day of rest. Christmas Day fell on Saturday, so the day of rest was moved to Monday, May 8th. As a result, we rest for 4 days in a row - from the 6th to the 9th inclusive.

June

June On June 12 we celebrate Russia Day, this year it will happen on Monday, so we get three days off in a row - Saturday 10, Sunday 11 and June 12.

June 25 will be Eid al-Fitr, but the holiday falls on Sunday. Local holidays, unlike federal ones, if they coincide with weekends, are not postponed, so there will be no additional days of rest in June.

July

September

For residents of Tatarstan, as well as residents of 8 other regions of Russia, where a large number of Muslims live, September will bring an additional day off.

October

There are no additional days off - 22 working days and 9 “Saturdays-Sundays”.

November

This month there are two holidays at once - National Unity Day and Constitution Day of the Republic of Tatarstan. But this does not mean that we will rest twice as much. National Unity Day on November 4 coincides with a non-working day - Saturday, and accordingly the day off is moved to Monday, November 6.

November 6 is Constitution Day of the Republic of Tatarstan, but since since September 2016, holidays coinciding with weekends have not been postponed in the republic, there will be no additional day of rest. As a result, we rest for four days in a row from November 4th to November 6th inclusive.

December 12, 2017 is a day off or a working day in Russia. An important national holiday is approaching - Russian Constitution Day. For many Russians, an important question is: is December 12 a day off or a working day in the country? The answer to this is known.

Despite the fact that Constitution Day is a public holiday, in Russia December 12 is a working day. It should be noted that a number of years ago, Russians officially took a vacation on this day, but since 2005, Constitution Day is not a day off. Therefore, on December 12, 2017, as in previous years, residents of the country will go to work.

It should be noted that December 12 is a non-working day only if it coincides with a calendar weekend - Saturday or Sunday. This year this day in December coincided with Tuesday, which means it is a working day.

When is this holiday held? Constitution Day of Russia is a public holiday celebrated in our country on December 12.

How is the celebration going? The program of events for Constitution Day of the Russian Federation is quite extensive. On this day, ceremonial meetings, concerts of professional and amateur art groups, and exhibitions are held; the streets of cities and villages are decorated with flags and banners.

Law lessons, thematic presentations, round tables, class hours, meetings with veterans, poster and drawing competitions are organized in schools and universities. Students are introduced to the state symbols of our country and the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and are instilled with love for the Motherland and patriotism.

Let's talk about the history and other traditions of the Constitution Day of the Russian Federation, the site writes. The date of the holiday was not chosen by chance. On this day in 1993, the Constitution was adopted in Russia by popular vote, which personified the advent of democracy, freedom and openness in our country.

According to the Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation “On the Constitution Day of the Russian Federation” and “On the non-working day of December 12”, the holiday has been given state status. This day was a day off for a long time.

In December 2004, the State Duma adopted amendments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, according to which the Russian holiday calendar was changed. Constitution Day has ceased to be a day off, and the holiday itself is now included among the memorable dates of Russia.

It has a long history in our country. In the Soviet Union, Constitution Day was celebrated on December 5, when the 1936 Constitution of the USSR was adopted. In 1977, the date of the celebration was moved to October 7, when the new Constitution of the USSR, the “Constitution of Developed Socialism,” was adopted.

The Constitution - the fundamental law of the state - is the core of the entire legal system of Russia and determines the meaning and content of other laws. It consolidates the political system, the fundamental rights and freedoms of Russian citizens, determines the form of the state and the system of supreme bodies of state power.

For a citizen of a country, it is necessary to know the Constitution and follow the laws established by it. It is important that people, even from school, begin to recognize themselves as full-fledged citizens of the state and are aware of their rights and responsibilities.
