re: #189 The Ghost of a Flea

I think the context here is that just the other day the Ukrainian Orthodox church declared they were shifting to the Gregorian Calendar, with some kind of permission from the council of Orthodox Churches. NPR was talking about it just the other day.

So Zelensky is just amending government policy to match the activity of the church.

That is exactly my understanding as well.

Iirc, the announcement was a transition from the “Julian Calendar” to the “Revised Julian Calendar” or “New Julian Calendar”. Which, afaict, is basically the Gregorian Calendar except for how some leap years are handled.
