• New Year Day (January 1st): The primary national holiday, celebrated widely.
• Orthodox Christmas (January 7th): A celebration for Orthodox Christians using the Julian calendar.
• Woman's Day (March 8th): A historically significant holiday tied to the Soviet era.
• Workers' Festival (May 1st): A historically important celebration, though its current significance is lesser.
• Be respectful regarding politics, particularly sensitive topics such as the Second World War.
