The State Duma wants to move part of the New Year's weekend to May.
We are talking about the distribution of days off that already exist. The deputies noted that in 2027 the New Year holiday will last 11 days - from December 31 to January 10 inclusive. And May days are divided into two parts: from May 1 to May 3 and from May 8 to 10.
"There will be four working days in the middle - they can simply be moved to the winter between Rosh Hashanah and Christmas," the initiative's authors believe.
The State Duma noted that a long vacation in May is particularly convenient for residents of rural areas and owners of summer cottages. For many families, home farming remains an important source of food.
- Excellent idea, better to relax in the spring.
- I'm on the long Rosh Hashanah holiday!
