Operational closure profile
What makes the Russia calendar operationally different
The country page now reads the holiday list as a planning surface: density, month clusters, type mix, and bridge-day pressure. These signals are derived from the same retained holiday rows rather than generic country copy.
Bridge-day pressure
4 public holidays fall on Tuesday or Thursday, creating likely bridge-day pressure around adjacent Mondays or Fridays.
Month clustering
Public holidays cluster most strongly in January (7), May (2), February (1), March (1).
Dataset type mix
Dataset type mix is led by 13 public entries. This is separate from legal closure strength; always confirm local substitution and sector rules.
