![]() Capital: Moscow Currency: Russian ruble Population: 141,377,752 Spring and Labor Day
The 1st of May in Russia is traditionally the Labor Day/ May Day holiday. In Soviet times this day was celebrated very grandly throughout the whole country. Demonstrations were held in every city of the Soviet Union starting from Moscow to even the smallest towns. Everyone wanted to be a part of the big celebration. The streets were decorated with red flags and balloons. Today this holiday is mostly just a good opportunity to go outside, celebrate the onset of spring, and simply to meet friends or even take a short vacation, because the next holiday occurs in the next few days, and previously mentioned, sometimes it is possible to combine two holidays into one vacation. The best thing about this holiday nowadays, is that it provides for a great excuse to go outside and enjoy a picnic! go back |
