Constitution Day of Russia: 12 December 2026, Saturday; 12 December 2027, Sunday; 12 December 2028, Tuesday. The date follows a rule — 12 December — so it is known years ahead. The counter at the top always shows the nearest date, and the “Dates by year” block below lists five years.
The counter at the top of the page shows the days, hours and minutes left until Constitution Day and updates every second by your device’s clock. On the day itself it shows “Today”, and from the next day it counts down to the following year. Nothing needs entering: the date follows the rule.

Under the counter is a “Working days until the event” line — it counts the working days until Constitution Day by the Russian working calendar, with public holidays and moved days off. Today is not counted, and for years with no published calendar yet the count follows a plain five-day week without holidays, which is noted on the page.
