Russia Faces Shortest Winter Work Schedule in 20 Years
This winter, Russia will experience the shortest number of working days in two decades, with only 56 days out of 90 due to the extended New Year holidays. Historically, the length of winter workdays has varied based on geographical location. In 2024-2025 and 2013-2014, countries with higher latitudes, such as those in northern Europe, had the shortest winter workdays under their respective governments or presidents. Conversely, those in lower latitudes closer to the equator, with more consistent daylight duration, had the longest workdays. This winter, Russians will work 34 fewer days than usual due to the extended holidays, marking the shortest winter work period in the past 20 years.
