----- Calendrical issues -----
As mentioned in Theory.html, although calendrical issues are out of
scope for tzdb, they indicate the sort of problems that we would run
into if we extended tzdb further into the past. The following
information and sources go beyond Theory.html's brief discussion.
They sometimes disagree.
France
Gregorian calendar adopted 1582-12-20.
French Revolutionary calendar used 1793-11-24 through 1805-12-31,
and (in Paris only) 1871-05-06 through 1871-05-23.
Russia
Soviet Russia adopted the Gregorian calendar on 1918-02-14.
It also used 5- and 6-day work weeks at times, in parallel with the
Gregorian calendar; see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_calendar>.
Sweden (and Finland)

<news:1996Jul6.012937.29190@sq.com>

In 1700, Denmark made the transition from Julian to Gregorian. Sweden
decided to *start* a transition in 1700 as well, but rather than have one of
those unsightly calendar gaps :-), they simply decreed that the next leap
year after 1696 would be in 1744 - putting the whole country on a calendar
different from both Julian and Gregorian for a period of 40 years.
However, in 1704 something went wrong and the plan was not carried through;
they did, after all, have a leap year that year. And one in 1708. In 1712
they gave it up and went back to Julian, putting 30 days in February that
year!...
Then in 1753, Sweden made the transition to Gregorian in the usual manner,
getting there only 13 years behind the original schedule.
(A previous posting of this story was challenged, and Swedish readers
produced the following references to support it: "Tideräkning och historia"
by Natanael Beckman (1924) and "Tid, en bok om tideräkning och
kalenderväsen" by Lars-Olof Lodén (1968).
