The mystery calendar clarification.

Well, these kinds of big wall calendars are easy to find in Europe. A week usually starts Monday and ends Sunday and one column = one week.

I did a close look at the calendar and it definitely would be a kind of "work calendar". Only working days are displayed (incl. Saturday), no Sundays and no holidays. E.g. look at "Maj", May 1st (the Labor Day) and May 9th (the end of WWII) are not present, "nojabr" (November), there is no "7" (November 7th was celebrated as the day of the October Revolution - the Bolsheviks attacked the Winter Palace and deposed the government of Kerensky, in fact this happened in October 25th, 1917, however due to the change of the calendar, the time had been shifted to November 7th).

The blue fanfare style (ornaments) at the bottom of the calendar are typical for Slavic countries.
