Overview
- State Duma member Svetlana Bessarab said the 2027 break is expected to span 11 calendar days when counting December 31, 2026.
- She added that a repeat of the record 12-day stretch is most likely in 2032, when Sunday, January 11, could mark the final day.
- The government confirms official transfers and days off at year-end through the production calendar, so these projections remain subject to formal approval.
- Russia’s 2026 New Year holiday has just concluded at 12 days, following 11 days in 2025 and 10 in 2024/25.
- Bessarab noted that extended winter breaks are popular with families because school holidays align with parents’ time off.
