An important public holiday is approaching - the Day of the Constitution of Russia. Day of the Constitution of the Russian Federation - day off or not? How many days off on constitution day

December 12, 2017 is a day off or a working day in Russia. An important public holiday is approaching - the Day of the Constitution of Russia. For many Russians, an important question is: is December 12 a day off or a working day in the country? The answer is known.

Despite the fact that Constitution Day is a public holiday, December 12 is a working day in Russia. It should be noted that a number of years ago, Russians officially took a break on this day, but since 2005, Constitution Day has not been a day off. Therefore, on December 12, 2017, as in previous years, residents of the country will return to work.

It should be noted that December 12 is a non-working day only if it coincides with a calendar holiday - Saturday or Sunday. This year this day in December coincided with Tuesday, which means it is a working day.

When is this holiday held? Russian Constitution Day is a public holiday celebrated in our country on December 12.

How is the celebration going? The program of events for the Day of the Constitution of the Russian Federation is quite extensive. On this day, solemn meetings, concerts of professional and amateur art groups, exhibitions are held; the streets of cities and villages are decorated with flags and banners.

Schools and universities organize law lessons, thematic presentations, round tables, class hours, meetings with veterans, poster and drawing competitions. Students are introduced to the state symbols of our country and the Constitution of the Russian Federation, they instill love for the Motherland and patriotism.

Let's talk about the history and other traditions of the Constitution Day of the Russian Federation, the site writes. The date of the holiday was not chosen by chance. On this day in 1993, the Constitution was adopted in Russia by popular vote, which personified the advent of the time of democracy, freedom and openness in our country.

According to the Decrees of the President of the Russian Federation "On the Day of the Constitution of the Russian Federation" and "On a non-working day on December 12", the holiday was given the status of a state holiday. This day was a holiday for a long time.

In December 2004, the State Duma adopted amendments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, according to which the Russian holiday calendar was changed. Constitution Day has ceased to be a day off, and the holiday itself is now ranked among the memorable dates in Russia.

It has a long history in our country. In the Soviet Union, Constitution Day was celebrated on December 5, when the 1936 Constitution of the USSR was adopted. In 1977, the date of the celebration was moved to October 7, when the new Constitution of the USSR, the “Constitution of Developed Socialism,” was adopted.

The Constitution - the fundamental law of the state - is the core of the entire legal system of Russia and determines the meaning and content of other laws. It establishes the state system, the fundamental rights and freedoms of Russian citizens, determines the form of the state and the system of higher state authorities.

For a citizen of the country, it is necessary to know the Constitution and follow the laws established by it. It is important that people from the school bench begin to realize themselves as full-fledged citizens of the state, be aware of their rights and obligations.

The February holidays still keep everyone and everything in good shape. After all, they are not so insignificant and invisible. Each of you will name the most popular holidays in February. The first significant holiday is Valentine's Day, or as it is also called St. Valentine's Day.
But the second important date in February is Defender of the Fatherland Day. It also has a second name, just February 23rd. In fact, there are much more holidays in February. And you can get acquainted with all these holidays in our category.

Holidays in March

You will immediately say offhand the most important holiday of March! It is, of course, International Women's Day. Indeed, with spring, not only nature comes to life, streams run, the sun warms, but our feelings begin to melt like wax candles. And first of all, this is connected with the beautiful and beautiful ... And that is why the first thing that comes to our minds in March is the holiday of all girls, women, grandmothers!
In fact, in March and many other holidays, professional and religious ...

Holidays in April

In April, the sun no longer tickles the nose, but really warms. You can walk more and more. This means that the most valuable holidays are those that can be spent on the street and all together. As a rule, the most important Orthodox holiday falls in April, namely Easter. On this holiday, they organize a procession, a service and, of course, do not forget to decorate Easter eggs and bake delicious Easter cakes!
Actually, in this month, despite this great holiday, everything goes on as usual. That is, in April there are many professional dates that also do not go unnoticed.

Holidays in May

Here it is a truly warm spring month - May, a harbinger of a hot summer, hot days, warm nights. When each of us will taste the warmth, will spend a lot of time outdoors and traveling, and just enjoy life without the cold...
That is why the May holidays seem especially joyful, warm, and bright to us. However, even if we discard the onset of the warm season, it cannot be said that the holidays in May are not important. Let's remember the most popular of them. Already on May 1 we are met by a holiday - the day of peace, labor, spring. May 9 - Victory Day. These holidays are important for the country and for everyone at once. And in May, there are many professional holidays: the day of the border guard, librarian, freelancer ... You can find all these holidays in our category.

Holidays in June

The first month of summer pleases us with the day of our country, the Day of Russia. This is a significant public holiday, which is also a day off. Therefore, everyone knows about it! Someone on this day really stands up for the successes of our country and praises our difficult and thorny special path in the world among other powers. And someone just spends this summer day for the benefit of themselves and their families. In any case, the holiday turns out to be for the good and for joy!
And besides, the warm season for our country is already a holiday that is with us every day until autumn!

Holidays in July

So the hottest month of the year is already taking the reins of the year in order to drive flying summer days, to give us unforgettable moments of sun, warm rain and summer holidays. And apparently, since summer itself is not a bad holiday, there are not so many holiday dates in the summer months. Rather, they are not as significant as the autumn dates and other seasons.
Here you can highlight the day of the kiss, the day of the baptism of Rus', the day of trade ...
Of course, there are still many other dates in the month, but it is these holidays that seem to us the most significant on a general scale for our country and for our society. Therefore, be content with what you have and just enjoy every moment! Moreover, many have vacations in the summer, which is also a big holiday!

Holidays in August

This is the last month of summer, which means it's time to take stock. The very results of the work that we did this summer. It is not for nothing that religious holidays associated with the harvest begin in August. This is Bread Spas, Honey Spas, Apple Spas.
The holidays of August are holidays for those who have worked hard, those who reap something, and not just remember the passing summer.
Also, how can one not remember the Airborne Forces Day in August, many are looking forward to this holiday in order to hear and learn something new from what can be done by an unreasonable person in the guise of a person, hiding behind slogans that only such people can do something special . And sometimes that is exactly what happens!
Of course, in August, the holiday of the Railwayman's Day is immediately remembered. Our country is large and there are many people of this profession in it!

Holidays in September

September has just begun and bam, already a holiday. Everyone is waiting for this day in their own way. Someone with special zeal wants to plunge into studies in order to communicate with peers and comprehend the wisdom of sciences, while someone is waiting for him with a certain hopelessness that there is nowhere to go.
But in any case, remembering the holidays of September, September 1, the Day of Knowledge, immediately comes to mind. This day is always beautiful, significant, and also significant.
In addition, this month, only at the end of the month, there is also a holiday for all those who prepare children for school, namely teachers of preschool institutions.
From religious holidays, you can remember the dates of many saints, whether it is the day of the Apostle Bartholomew, the prophet and God-seer Moses, but there is nothing supernatural and great in this month!
So religious people can spend their strength and bright feelings on enhanced school homework with their children, especially after the summer this is relevant.

Holidays in October

Well, the time of the year is coming, and the warm seasons are already behind and the season is coming - it's a charm of the eyes. October will delight us with such holidays as the Day of the Elderly. We don’t know to what extent the holiday was chosen in accordance with the season, that is, it seems like elderly people and autumn, everything is intertwined, everything converges. It only remains for us to say that this holiday is famous and obviously respected. After all, this is the date!
Also in October, the day of the criminal investigation, the day of the customs officer and other professional holidays.
As for religious holidays, by analogy with September, there is a certain lull here, that is, there is nothing special. There are some saints' days, but this is not particularly important.

Holidays in November

The cold season is coming, which means that we all want to cuddle closer to each other, plunge into the atmosphere of warm family warmth, friendships and gatherings. The holidays are already taking place more and more at home, and their significance is no longer so important, because it is unlikely that you will be able to go on a full-fledged picnic.
Actually in November the most important public holiday is National Unity Day. Which only confirms our words that everyone wants unity, but not everyone succeeds.
On this day, everyone also rests and most spend it at their own discretion, having time to take a walk, but there are no serious colds yet. In the month, of course, there is a professional holiday for a bank employee, RHBZ troops, KVN day ...

Holidays in December

Well, what holiday we are waiting for this month, no one needs to say. Moreover, we are waiting for him not only for a month, some of them are waiting for him all year. right as soon as the New Year passed, so immediately many are ready to celebrate it again. But miracles do not happen, which can be for the better, because then the significance of the New Year holiday would have come to naught. So, the most important holiday of December is the New Year.
Also in December, the Day of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Day of the Lawyer, the Day of the Power Engineer. There are plenty of power engineers in our country, so the holiday is very popular.
Of the religious holidays, you can celebrate the Day of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and simpler than Nikolos, Klaus, and even simpler than our Santa Claus! So everything points to the celebration of the main date of the year, and everything else is on the way!

The Constitution Day of the Russian Federation has been celebrated since 1994, when its date was determined - December 12th. On this day, only a year earlier, the Constitution was adopted, which is still in force today.

This legal document contains all the laws and norms of modern society. It consists of two sections, the first section includes 9 chapters, and the second one talks about conclusions, transitions and amendments to the constitution. These chapters carry information about the state structure, human rights and freedoms, about the President of Russia, the judiciary and the prosecutor's office, and many other aspects of the structure of society. The Constitution itself is not a law, but the basis for legislation and has the highest legal force, that is, it is undeniable and is implemented regardless of other factors. It was on it that all the presidents of Russia swore an oath. This holiday is celebrated throughout the state, as well as by compatriots abroad.

Will we rest on December 12

And yet, is the Constitution Day of Russia in 2017 a day off or not? In 2004 holidays and weekends were changed, and since 2005 it has ceased to be a public holiday on which everyone rests. Now, on the Constitution Day of Russia 2017, we both rest and work - this day was moved from the list of days off to memorable dates.

Despite the exclusion of Constitution Day from the "red days of the calendar", Russians continue to celebrate this day. On December 12, a variety of events are held. Schools conduct additional social studies lessons, in which children are told about the constitution, its legal aspects and the history of the adoption of this most important law. In higher educational institutions, as well as in places of work of the population, various information meetings and corporate parties are held. Representatives of the authorities hold ceremonial meetings, including at the highest level. Also, various amateur concerts, performances and similar events can be held in schools, universities, theaters and other institutions, the main purpose of which is to convey information about the importance of the Constitution to the younger generation. But it is not only important for children and young people to instill patriotism and provide access to legal knowledge - adults, too, should sometimes be reminded of the value of human rights and freedoms and other provisions that are spelled out in the Constitution and the implementation of which is protected by it.

Despite changes in legislation, in the minds of people, somewhat due to the force of habit, May 2, November 7 and many other dates, including the Russian Constitution Day 2017, are holidays. In 2017, this memorable date falls on a Tuesday. Activities dedicated to law for children, youth and adults will be held in various localities. Various youth forums, thematic exhibitions, conferences, concerts and other entertainment and information events are held at the city level on this day. In past years, schoolchildren and students on their own prepared exhibitions, performances and speeches for December 12, telling about the 1993 Constitution, the referendum at which it was adopted and other issues related to it. December 12 is not a public holiday in 2017.

This year, 2017, with the support of the government at all levels, is unlikely to lag behind previous years, and young minds will again sort out the basis of legislation for themselves and others. And the Constitution Day and the days following it can be spent with benefit, both for yourself and for your family.

Even, it would seem, quite recently, December 12 was an all-Russian holiday, a small respite in work, which gave strength to finalize before the New Year holidays. Now a lot has changed.
