It's wrong information.
In Russian NO one days of week name is numeric.
3 of it's names are based on the numbers,
but vtornik =/= vtoroi
chetverg =/= chetveryi
pyatnitsa =/= pyatyi
Using numbers of a days where names must be used is impossible.

And when somebody trying to use day _numbers_ he must remember, that
not in all cultures week begins from the same day. There are some
traditions, in which the first day of the week is a sunday,
and some - with the first day - monday.
