Deputy Nilov warned Russians about the work day on Saturday, November 1.

According to the parliamentarian, a decision was previously made to move the workday to Saturday, November 1, in order to combine the two days off and avoid a situation where a person would have to go to work between a regular weekend and a holiday.

As a reminder, National Unity Day falls on a Tuesday in 2025. November 4th is a non-working holiday according to the Labor Code.

The Russian government has decided to optimize the work calendar so that Russians have three consecutive days off—from November 2 to 4.

"Saturday, November 1, will be a workday, and the day off from Saturday will be moved to Monday," Nilov clarified in an interview with TASS .

Otherwise, Russians would have had to go to work on Monday, November 3.

"This wouldn't have been as correct and functional, so a decision prepared by the Russian Ministry of Labor was adopted," the parliamentarian explained.

He added that the government, trade unions and employer associations supported the decision to move weekends and working days.
