Therefore, many Russians are interested in how the Russian Post works on New Year's holidays in 2021.

• pay utility bills;
• send and receive parcels and letters;
• subscribe to print publications;
• receive pension payments;
• send money transfers;
• get online orders.

24-hour branches

How other departments will work

The working hours of post offices throughout Russia will be the same. So, December 31 is a pre-holiday day. The departments will function as usual with a 1 hour reduction in the working day.

On weekends, only 3 days are allocated for employees of this organization for all New Year's holidays:

• January 1st;
• January 2;
• Jan. 7.

At this time, postmen will not work either, so the seizure of letters from mailboxes and the issuance of printed publications will be made in the period before or after the weekend. Most public and private organizations are closed between January 1st and January 8th. This does not apply to Russian Post offices.

Working hours in rural areas

In order for residents of settlements and villages to be able to timely receive printed publications and pensions, post offices located in rural areas are allowed to adjust the work schedule. Therefore, it is better to clarify about such changes directly with the employees of a particular office.

Outcomes

Since the winter holidays are the time for gifts, many are interested in how the Russian Post works on New Year's holidays in 2021. Only 4 branches will operate around the clock: three in Moscow and one in St. Petersburg. However, they will also close on New Year's Eve.

In rural areas, post offices may adjust their working hours so that people living in towns and villages can receive pensions and correspondence on time. The rest of the Russian Post offices will receive the weekend on January 1, 2 and 7.

Since December 31 is a pre-holiday day, the organization's working hours will remain the same with a reduction of 1 hour. However, postponing matters for this time is not worth it, it is possible that many people will go to the post office to resolve issues at the last moment. And not everyone will have time.
