About these dates
These dates come from the date-holidays library and have not been checked by hand against Russia's official calendar. Check before you book.
Some days here follow a calendar other than the Gregorian one, such as Eid al-Fitr (Markhash), Eid al-Adha (Ghurba), Birthday of Buddha Shakyamuni. Those dates are calculated rather than announced, so the real day can fall a day either side of what is shown. Check them against an official calendar before you book around one.
