In early November, Russians will have a shorter working week in connection with the celebration of National Unity Day on November 4, which falls on Wednesday this year. This was reported to TASS by the press service of Rostrud.

"The shortened working week awaits Russians in early November. In connection with the celebration of National Unity Day, November 4 (Wednesday) will be a day off. Thus, in the first week of November, workers will have four days - November 2 and 3, as well as November 5 and 6," TASS quotes a statement from the press service of the Ministry of Labor.
