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)[reply]

What the hell do the 'remarks' for November 7th mean?

The paragraph appears to get increasingly incoherent as it goes on, I don't even know if the last couple of lines form a grammatical sentence. I would dearly love to know what the Labour Codex is, or what December 4th signifies, but I honestly cannot decipher it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.42.213.175 (talk) 01:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
