Unfortunately for most Russians, they are all working days but if organizations and enterprises want to celebrate it, they are free to do it. The federal budget has to provide 81m roubles to sponsor new memorials, publications in mass media and other formats of coverage and celebrations. Other sources of funding include allocations from regional and municipal coffers as well as voluntary contributions.
