December 31 - January 1 - the New Year, one the main holidays in Russia, traditionally it's a family holiday. There's no Father Christmas, there's Father Frost in Russia. He comes on New Year's Eve and gives presents.
January 7 - Orthodox Christmas. In Russia, contrary to many western countries, Christmas is celebrated not on December 25 but on January 7 (Orthodox Christmas).
March 8 - Women's Day. Flowers are sold for double prices, and men suddenly realize the importance of women.
May 1, 2 - May Day & the Day of Spring. In the Soviet times they called it The Day of Labor. Now it's just another free day to relax and meet friends.
May 9 - the Victory Day, celebrating the victory in World War II
June 12 - Independence Day. Still not everybody knows exactly why this particular date was chosen, but we reckon that this is the day when the first president of the Russian Federation was elected.
November 7 - Day of Reconciliation and Harmony. After 1917 until 1992 that was the Day of the Great October Revolution (1917).
December 12 - Constitution Day.
