This mode adds Russian holidays for GNU/Emacs calendar. Russian Federation is multinational country with own holidays in different regions. The package has info about official state holidays and official regional holidays.
- "Праздники России"
- "Справка о нерабочих праздничных днях, профессиональных праздниках и памятных датах"
There are a lot of differences between documents in internet so please report about wrong namings and dates.
There is only limited subset of holidays added:
- Only official state holidays counted.
- It based on the modern data for last years so it not applicable to previous years or historical holidays.
- It don't show holidays without fixed calendar dates yet (except Orthodox Easter)
- For regional holidays only dates with official day offs counted (no memorial days etc.)
To use russian-holidays exclusively for the calendar:
(require 'calendar)
(require 'russian-holidays)
(setq calendar-holidays russian-holidays)
To use russian-holidays additionally to other calenders:
(setq calendar-holidays (append calendar-holidays russian-holidays))
If you'd like to add regional holidays, you can use it like in this example for Chuvash respublic (regional names use ISO-3166-2 codes):
(setq calendar-holidays (append calendar-holidays russian-holidays russian-holidays-cu-holidays))
This works for for all regions noted in https://ru.wikipedia. 671E org/wiki/Праздники_России article.
Calendar variables use regional codes as described in
ISO 31666-2. For
example Tatarstan russian-holidays-ta-holidays, Bashkortostan
russian-holidays-ba-holidays etc.
GPLv3 for the code. Calendar data is public domain.
I am interesting for calculating dates of Muslim and Buddhism holidays.
