Calendars in the Soviet Union are quite different from ours:  The days
run down the left side, and the weeks run across.  I think their week
begins with Sunday, but I wouldn't swear to that.

     Example:

             Su  1  8    ... etc.
             Mo  2  9
             Tu  3  10
             We  4  11
             Th  5  12
             Fr  6  13
             Sa  7  14
