Even though we knew it was impossible, February 30 was seen in the calendars: 2 times!

We only saw 30 members on the calendar twice?

Of course, this was two events that took place for years, even centuries ago. It doesn’t seem possible to repeat it right now. Well why?

This is an event that has been recorded twice twice.

Sweden’s calendar reform in the 18th century led to a large calendar confusion. Pope XIII in 1582. Gregory introduced the Gregorian calendar with the aim of correcting the flaws of the Julian calendar. However, Sweden did not go to this new calendar until 1700, and the year 1700 is no longer a year compared to the Gregorian calendar.

This flaw continued in 1704 and 1708, and Sweden became incompatible with both Julian and Gregorian calendar. The difference in time with other countries in Europe has increased.

As a result, Sweden had to make a major correction in the calendar in 1712.

Sweden, which increased February to 30 days by adding extra two days to 1712, tried to return to the Julian calendar. This was the only example that February 30 was recorded as an official calendar day. This error resulted in the full adoption of the Gregorian calendar in Sweden in 1753. That year, 11 days were jumped and directly from February 17 to 1 March.

So when was the other error repeated?

He was in the Soviet Union in 1930-1931.

About 200 years after Sweden’s incident, the Soviet Union decided to conduct a similar calendar experiment. In 1929, a revolutionary calendar reform was launched to increase the laborer productivity.

In the new system, 5 -day weeks were foreseen instead of 7 days. It was organized for 30 days each month and the remaining 5 or 6 days were declared as “Days without Bear” as an official holiday.

This change was not implemented in daily life, and this system, which contradicts the Gregorian calendar, remained only with the theory. In 1932, the 6 -day week system was implemented and the Soviet Union returned to the former 7 -day week in 1940.
