January 2027 will give Tula more weekends than working days

In January 2027, Russians, including residents of the Tula region, will have more weekends and holidays than workers. With a standard five-day week, Tulaks will work for 15 days and rest for 16 days.

About it told RIA Novosti acting Director of the Department for work with personnel of the Russian society “Knowledge” Jan Yarkhin.

The main reason for this calendar arrangement will be the long New Year holidays. More specifically, readers of MK in Tula will be able to rest for 11 consecutive days - from December 31, 2026 to January 10, 2027 inclusive. The first working day after the holidays will be Monday, January 11.

At the same time, for residents of the Tula region working on a six-day schedule or in a shift mode, the number of working days may be different.

Earlier, MK in Tula shared a curious comparison. It turns out that the New Year holidays of 2027 will be slightly shorter than the previous ones. This time, Tula residents will rest for 11 days instead of 12, as it was in the winter of 2025-2026.

Despite the reduction of the festive period, the Tula region can again attract tourists with a large-scale New Year decoration.

Last season, for example, one of the main attractions was a 32-meter artificial Christmas tree in Tula, which was recognized as the tallest trunk tree of this type in Russia. It entered the country's Book of Records and became a popular place for holiday photos.

Earlier, the governor of the region Dmitry Milyaev said that the tourist flow to the Tula region reached 2 million people a year. Such statistics he voiced at the end of the first autumn month.
