The State Duma proposed to postpone part of the New Year holidays to May

It is better to postpone part of the New Year holidays to May, when people spend time in the country. This was announced on August 3 by the head of the Fair Russia — For Truth faction, Sergei Mironov.

"Such long winter holidays are not necessary, it is better to postpone to May, when people go to their gardens, to their dachas," he said in an interview with TASS.

Mironov also supported the idea of making September 1 a day off for parents of schoolchildren to help them. However, he noted that Russians already have a lot of days off a year, so it is necessary to make a reasonable assessment of this.
