Hi Michael.
>> Russia implemented the change soon after the Russian Revolution >> around the time of World War I in this century.
> Er... soon after the October Revolution of November 1917?
I believe that at the time of the revolution, they were still on the Julian calendar, so the October Revolution actually occurred in October - I'll take your word on the 1917 as I honestly didn't know the precice year.
My information is that the change was made during the following January, with the result that all the ANNIVERSARIES of the October Revolution have occurred in November...
However, this is getting rather off-topic, so I propose that any further comments on this subject do not get posted to the list...
Best wishes from Riley.
