Spring and Labour Day
1 May 2017

In the former Soviet Union, 1 May was International Workers’ Day and was celebrated with huge parades in Russian cities.

But after the collapse of communism the annual parade gave way to less political festivities.
Traditionally, festive rallies are held on this day.

Remember, that May 1 is official day-off. On this day most of public offices are closed and some public transport routes may be changed due to street events.
