1. From 1929 until 1931 the Russian Gregorian calendar had 5 day weeks. Each day of the week was given either a color or a Roman numeral and each worker was assigned a color or a number to identify their 1 day of rest. There was some experimentation with a 5 day work week. The 7 day work week was reintroduced June 1940. The October Bolshevik revolution occurred in October 1917 of the Julian calendar, but November of the Gregorian.
