Talk:Public holidays in the Soviet Union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Not Public holidays
What I had in mind were not public holidays, but days that were special in the sense that they were comemorations. Like for example the "Red Army Day". You still went to work on this day and still it was special. How are such "special" days called?
- Yes they were public holidays (prazdniki), even in the meaning of English language; compare, eg. Public holidays of the United States. A holiday is not necessarily a day off. It is an observance, commemoration. `'mikka 02:12, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
