How will Russian Post work in the New Year?

I was interested in this question myself. I was looking for the work schedule of the Post Office and post offices specifically on the New Year (New Year holidays), since it was on December 31, 2015 that I was waiting for the parcel.

And for a long time now Russian Post on New Year's holidays work on the same schedule/mode.

On December 31, 2016, all Russian Post Offices must work with a reduction in working hours of only one hour.

Starting from January 8, 2017, all post offices will have to work according to the established regime/schedule.

Russian Post will operate as planned for the New Year holidays 2017:

already on December 31st there will be a shortened, but still working day, then from January 1st to 2nd postal workers will be able to take a break from us, and already on January 3rd they will start working full time until January 6th inclusive. January 7th is a day off, January 8th is a working day, despite the fact that it is a day off for other organizations.

Russian Post is trying to shorten the New Year holidays for its employees as much as possible so that correspondence gets into the hands of recipients as quickly as possible.

So the postal work schedule will presumably be like this:

Starting from January 8, all Russian post offices will begin to work according to their usual schedule.

The operating hours of each branch can be viewed on this resource.

Russian postal services during the 2017 holidays will not be too different from previous years.

No major changes are expected in the Russian Postal schedule for 2017. The post office will not be open on 01/01/2017, 01/02/17 and 01/07/17. If we talk about the last day of the year, then it simply won’t be a full day of work. On the remaining days, work will be in full swing.

For several years now, the postal work schedule on New Year's holidays has been practically the same. And in 2017 it will be something like this:

December 31, 2016 and January 6, 2017 are working days, but since they are pre-holiday days, all Russian post offices will have shortened days.

Some branches may operate on special schedules. It is best to check the hours of your local post office in advance. This link may help you with this.

This schedule is established for post offices of cities and regional centers.

Russian Post can be classified as a strategic facility for which not all holidays may be days off. The work of the Russian Post during the New Year holidays is more intense and busy. Many Russians are waiting for (and sending) parcels and letters for the New Year. As the experience of past years suggests, post office workers

On the 31st of December the post office will have a shortened day, on the first and second of December, as well as on the 7th of January, the post office will have a rest. On steel days, the post office will operate as usual.

A little history

Our postal service is one of the oldest in Europe. The origins of mail began more than a thousand years ago. It all started back in the era of Kievan Rus, when there was a yam duty, according to which every representative of the state had to assist the princely messengers. The thirteenth century was marked by the creation of the first postal stations (pits), which communicated with the most remote areas of the country. In the 15th and 16th centuries, taxation was further developed. Postal stations were created every 40-100 versts throughout Russia. Posad people bore yam duty, serving the needs of messengers. In 1516, the first Yamskaya decree was issued, which regulated the delivery of letters. In 1665, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich concluded an agreement with the Dutchman J. Svedennoye on the creation of a full-fledged post office in our country. The result of this was the organization of postal communications between Moscow and the northern capital, as well as Riga and Arkhangelsk. After this, postal communication with the cities of Siberia appeared.

At the same time, post offices were opened in St. Petersburg, Moscow and Riga. In 1725, postal routes had a length of more than ten thousand miles. In 1740, there were already post offices in many large cities of Russia. Since 1781, it was possible to transfer not only cargo and letters by mail, but also money. In the nineteenth century, with the development of railway communication, postal services began to develop even more rapidly. At the end of the century, more than 34 thousand employees worked at the Russian post office. In 1843, postal reform took place, after which stamps appeared on envelopes and the ability to send letters using mailboxes. Their number in 1896 was about fifteen thousand.
