Public holidays in November 2018

The holiday was established in December 2004 at the initiative of the Interreligious Council of Russia, consisting of leaders of the country's traditional confessions, as a national holiday that unites all the peoples of Russia.

For the first time, this new national holiday was celebrated on November 4, 2005, but its history begins much earlier - several centuries ago.

2018 marks the 14th time. This is an official day off (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

National Unity Day: what kind of holiday

On November 4, one of the main Orthodox holidays fell - the Day of the Icon of the Kazan Mother of God - the spiritual symbol of liberation from foreign invaders of the Russian capital.

It was the lists from this icon, miraculously found in Kazan in 1579, that helped in the battles with the invaders, first the first Zemstvo militia, and then the second, which, led by Prince D. Pozharsky, drove the Poles out of Moscow.

Then, in November 1612, a radical turning point occurred in overcoming the Time of Troubles and fighting foreign intervention.

Moreover, this was achieved not by the army, not by the army assembled by the authorities, but by the people's militia, a self-organized movement. This is the only such case in Russian history.

The restoration of Russian statehood by the forces of the people, who, having expelled the Polish interventionists, chose a new government, and the derivation of the genealogy of modern Russia from November 4, 1612 is the political meaning of the holiday.

Indeed, then Russia was saved from one of the greatest dangers that threatened her in history. Russia's complete loss of sovereignty was more than real.

The demographic, economic, financial, political and military capabilities of Poland were significantly higher than those of Russia - in terms of population alone, Russia was almost 2 times inferior to Poland (7 million versus 12 million people).

Let us add to this the betrayal of the comprador clique - the boyars, who swore allegiance to Prince Vladislav (only the signature of Patriarch Hermogenes was not enough for a completely legitimate transfer of power).

And we get a completely unpromising picture of the further history of Russia under the Lyakh-Lithuanian yoke, in which there would be no place either for the greatness of the Russian Empire of the Romanov era, or for the achievements and victories of the USSR.

Healthy forces were found among the church class (Patriarch Hermogenes, who refused to recognize the Polish sovereign, for which he was starved to death, the monks of the Trinity-Sergeyeva Lavra, who sent draft letters throughout Russia), ordinary people (Nizhny Novgorod butcher K. Minin, Kostroma peasant I. Susanin), some representatives of the nobility (the Ryazan nobleman P. Lyapunov, who started the first militia, was hacked to death by the Cossacks, while trying to pacify looting, Prince D. Pozharsky). And all of them were mainly representatives of the province.

From the old, rooted in the history of the holiday, the Day of National Unity inherited many wonderful traditions. On this day in Russia it was customary to forgive old debts, give gifts, give old things to the poor, etc.

How they celebrate

The first National Unity Day was solemnly celebrated in 2005 - Nizhny Novgorod became the main center of festive events. The main event of the holiday was the opening of the monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky.

National Unity Day is planned to be celebrated this year as magnificently as in previous years. The most grandiose events are planned in Moscow and in Nizhny Novgorod, where the militia of Minin and Pozharsky came from.

A large, multi-million march through the city and the laying of flowers at the Minin and Pozharsky memorial are planned.

On National Unity Day, patriotic celebrations, processions, festivities, fairs, exhibitions, and so on are held. All the main parks of Moscow have prepared a great entertainment program for the Day of National Unity.

The Kremlin will host the solemn ceremony of presenting the Presidential Prize for Strengthening the Unity of the Russian Nation and the concert "We are United".

Solemn concerts, fireworks, and mass festivities will be held throughout the country.

For the first time in several months, after the June Day of Russia, in November in our country there will be an additional day off in connection with the next state holiday. The Soviet-style November holidays were replaced by others, but they did not take away an extra day off at the beginning of the month from the Russians.

November holidays in 2017: how to relax on November 4

The old Soviet holiday of November 7, which was fundamental to the Soviet state, was decided to be canceled in the early 2000s. The annual celebration of the anniversary of the events of 1917, while remaining formally a holiday, was a thorn in the side of the modern Russian authorities. It was not even bad for her that this holiday reminds of how the weak, but legitimate government was overthrown in 1917. It was bad that this holiday remained the day when other political forces, the relatively strong communists after the 1990s, felt themselves to be the main ones.

Apparently, it was considered inappropriate to completely cancel the holiday on November 7, and they decided to find a replacement for it.

Such a replacement was found in the events of 400 years ago, namely at the end of the Troubles in 1612. The choice is quite good. November 4, according to the modern Gregorian calendar, is the anniversary of the events of late October, when the militia, led by Minin and Pozharsky, expelled external invaders from Moscow, and the country took the first step towards establishing power in the person of a new royal dynasty - the Romanovs.

November 4 became a new state holiday instead of November 7, and this day is declared a day off. Interestingly, this day was also festive in tsarist times, but then the day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God was celebrated, which was also indirectly associated with the deliverance of Moscow from the invaders at the beginning of the 17th century.

Now let's move on to 2017. This time the holiday fell on a Saturday, so the legal “extra” day off was moved to the next working day — Monday, November 6th. That is, going on November 3 for the weekend, we will rest for three days in a row: from 4 to 6 November. On November 7, the centenary of October 1917, we enter a four-day work week, until November 11, inclusive.

As for the number of working days and days off, in November, thanks to an extra day off Monday, there will be nine days off, and 21 working days.

Today, November 4, 2017, they also celebrate National Unity Day, World Men's Day and other events.

On November 4, 2017, the Kazan autumn folk holiday is celebrated. The Church on this day, starting in 1649, established a celebration in honor of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, as a token of gratitude to the miraculous image for the deliverance of Moscow and all of Russia in 1612 from the Poles.

During the period of the 16th-17th centuries, called the Time of Troubles, the Polish principality mocked the Christian religion and the entire Orthodox faith, plundered churches and monasteries, cities and villages. With the help of deceit, it took possession of Moscow. Patriarch Yermagen intcbatch The people were convened in the militia to defend the Motherland. It was headed by Prince Pozharsky. An image of the Most Holy Theotokos was sent from Kazan for spiritual support.

It is believed that the entire Russian people then prayed to God and His Mother, asking for help. The people fasted for three days, and the prayer was heard. On October 22, 1612, the militia defeated the invaders and liberated Moscow.

The people considered this day to be a turning point, after which winter comes.

Kazan autumn is considered the time of settlement for the completed construction work. On this day, the peasants ventilated the basement, set fire to the juniper and fumigated this room with it. This was done in order to preserve stocks: so that they would not rot and run out.

According to signs, if the harvest was rich, then wait for a cold winter, and if there is a clear day on the Kazan autumn, then cold will soon come, and if fog - heat.

National Unity Day is celebrated on November 4th. This is a public holiday, the day of military glory of Russia. The holiday is associated with the liberation of Moscow from the Polish invaders in 1612 and symbolizes national unity. It is dedicated to the Day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. It is celebrated by all citizens of the Russian Federation. In 2017, National Unity Day is celebrated for the 13th time.

cash register birthday

American entrepreneur James Ritty was the owner of one of the most popular cafes in Dayton, Ohio. However, due to unscrupulous bartenders, who often put their hands in the cash register, the establishment did not make a profit. Once during one of the trips, wandering around the steamer, James wandered into the engine room and saw that the number of shaft rotations in the engine during operation was recorded on a certain device. At that moment, he realized that his problem was solved. Upon returning home, Ritty, together with his brother, designed the first cash register, and then patented it. The patent was received on November 4, 1879. Since then, this date has been considered the birthday of the cash register throughout the world.

What holidays and days off in November 2017 did the legislator provide for us? A common situation is when employees of an organization often come to the personnel department with questions about rest days this fall. In particular, employees are interested in weekends associated with the federal holiday on November 4 - National Unity Day. We tell you what days off in November 2017 in Russia await us.

What is required by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

The list of non-working holidays is enshrined in Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. They include:

On all these days, employees, in general, have the right to legal rest, established by applicable law.

On the nose of November 2017 - weekends and holidays. How are we relaxing this month?

Celebrating Unity Day

November is one of the holidays established by the Labor Code - National Unity Day.

November 4 is celebrated since 2005 to commemorate the deliverance of Moscow and Russia from the Poles in 1612. The celebration of National Unity Day coincides with the celebration of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. With this icon, Prince Pozharsky, at the head of the Russian troops, entered Kitay-gorod, taken by storm, and put an end to the Time of Troubles.

So, what kind of weekends await us in November? November 4, 2017 - falls on a Saturday. According to the calendar, this is a non-working holiday. And November 5 is Sunday, a day off.

It turns out that November 6, 2017 is a day off, although it falls on a Monday. This can be explained by the fact that the day of the holiday itself falls on Saturday and, as a result, passes to Monday - November 6, 2017.

Thus, the weekend calendar in November 2017 includes three days off in a row - November 4, 5 and 6.

Six days

However, not everyone works according to the 5-day work week calendar. What are the days off in November 2017 in Russia for the six-day period? Let's deal with the issue.

It is clear that the weekend in November 2017 with a six-day week is different from a five-day one. As a result, November 6, 2017 is a day off or a working day for such employees?

Let's say right away that 11/06/17 is a regular working day. The fact is that the holiday itself falls on Saturday, which is a working day for this category of employees. Therefore, this day becomes a day off because of the holiday.

Let's summarize what days off in November 2017 in Russia are set for six-days. These days are 4, 5, 12, 19, 26 November.

In practice, it happens that employees take vacations in the months that fall on holidays in order to increase rest. This can be explained by the fact that vacation days that coincide with public holidays are not included in the vacation period. That is, the employee's vacation will be extended by the total number of holidays that coincided with the vacation period.

Thus, the holidays in November (weekends of 2017) on the six-day period include one additional day off - a non-working holiday Saturday on November 4th.

How will we work

So, how many working days in November 2017? This autumn month, citizens will work 21 days: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, thirty.

According to the calendar, the 3rd is a pre-holiday day. In this regard, the working time will be reduced by one hour (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The remaining working days in November 2017 will not be shortened.

What are the holidays in November 2017?

Holidays

Many citizens are accustomed to the fact that at the beginning of this month they are waiting for long days of rest. But some of them have absolutely no idea why they were given them. So, how many holidays are in November 2017 and what kind of holiday will we celebrate?

There is only one public holiday in Russia this month. It is called National Unity Day. It was established by the government of our country in 2004. And for the first time Russians celebrated National Unity Day on November 4, 2005. It should be noted that the history of the memorable date began several centuries ago.
