However, in 1918, Russia adopted the Gregorian calendar as part of a series of reforms under the Soviet government. The Gregorian calendar, introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, is the calendar system widely used internationally.<\/p>\n<p>The primary difference between the two calendar systems is in<strong> the way they handle leap years.<\/strong> The Julian calendar adds a leap day every four years without exception, making the average year 365.25 days long.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, the Gregorian calendar adjusts for this slight overestimation by skipping leap years in years divisible by 100 but not divisible by 400. This refinement brings the average year length closer to 365.2425 days.<\/p>\n<p>As a result of these differences, the Gregorian calendar is more accurate in aligning with the astronomical year, making it the standard calendar for most of the world today.<\/p>\n<p>However, some Orthodox Christian churches, including the Russian Orthodox Church, still use the Julian calendar for liturgical purposes, leading to variations in the celebration of religious holidays such as Christmas and Easter.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Phrases and Expressions<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some expressions featuring months and seasons!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u041c\u0430\u0439\u0441\u043a\u0438\u0435 \u0437\u0430\u043c\u043e\u0440\u043e\u0437\u043a\u0438<\/strong><em>\u00a0(Mayskiye zamorozki)<\/em> \u2014 May frost\n<p>May has some unexpectedly cold days, often throwing crops in question by freezing the young plants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u041c\u0430\u0440\u0442\u043e\u043a, \u043d\u0430\u0434\u0435\u0432\u0430\u0439 \u0441\u0435\u043c\u044c \u043f\u043e\u0440\u0442\u043e\u043a<\/strong>\u00a0<em>(Martok, nadevay syem&#8217; portok)<\/em> \u2014 March, wear seven pants\n<p>This gives you a pretty good sense of the weather in May in Russia&#8230; bone-chillingly cold!<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u041d\u0435 \u043c\u0430\u0439 \u043c\u0435\u0441\u044f\u0446<\/strong>\u00a0<em>(Nye may mesyats)<\/em> \u2014 It&#8217;s not May\n<p>This is used whenever somebody exposes someone to cold unnecessarily, for example, by opening windows, turning off the heat, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u0426\u044b\u043f\u043b\u044f\u0442 \u043f\u043e \u043e\u0441\u0435\u043d\u0438 \u0441\u0447\u0438\u0442\u0430\u044e\u0442<\/strong>\u00a0<em>(Tsypliat po oseni schitayut)<\/em> \u2014 chicks are counted in the autumn\n<p>This is the Russian version of the English expression &#8220;don&#8217;t count your chickens before they are hatched.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u0413\u043e\u0442\u043e\u0432\u044c \u0441\u0430\u043d\u0438 \u043b\u0435\u0442\u043e\u043c, \u0430 \u0442\u0435\u043b\u0435\u0433\u0443\u2014\u0437\u0438\u043c\u043e\u0439<\/strong>\u00a0<em>(Gotov&#8217; sani letom, a telegu\u2014zimoi)<\/em> \u2014 prepare the sledge in the summer and the cart in the winter\n<p>This phrase emphasizes the importance of preparation and planning ahead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u041b\u0435\u0442\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0434\u0435\u043d\u044c \u0433\u043e\u0434 \u043a\u043e\u0440\u043c\u0438\u0442<\/strong>\u00a0<em>(Letniy den&#8217; god kormit)<\/em> \u2014 A summer day feeds the year\n<p>This expression highlights the significance of a productive summer day, suggesting that a successful and fruitful summer can have a positive impact on the entire year.
