The [[Julian and Gregorian Calendars|Gregorian calendar]] is the calendar commonly used today. It is a correction of the Julian calendar that had been used since 46 AD. Because leap years had been miscalculated in the Julian calendar, by 1582 the calendar was 10 days behind the solar year. In Finland the last day of the Julian calendar was 17 February 1753. At that time, 11 days were omitted to bring the calendar in line with the solar year. The day after 17 February 1753 became 1 March 1753. When you are looking for information about Finns who spent time in Russia after 1753, remember that Russia continued using the Julian calendar until after the revolution in 1917. | The [[Julian and Gregorian Calendars|Gregorian calendar]] is the calendar commonly used today.
