Gregorian calendar
In Russia, as in almost all European countries use the Gregorian calendar. How many weeks in a year? The answer is simple: the fifty-two or fifty-three. Of course, this number depends on a leap year or not, and the day of the week on which fell the first of January. On average, you can even put a figure – 52,143 weeks / year. Interestingly, for the accounting of securities according to the European system of calculation, a new period does not always start from the first week, and maybe 52nd or 53rd. This happens when in the 1st week of the year is less than four days.
