Most citizens would like to make December 31 a day off forever

The results of the study are cited by RIA Novosti.

Analysts clarify that the idea is most actively supported in Volgograd and Kazan.

18% of respondents were positive about the introduction of a new non-working day.

Among the residents of megalopolises, Volgograd, Kazan - 89% each, Krasnoyarsk and Yekaterinburg - 73% and 74%, in Moscow - 81% and St. Petersburg - 83% spoke more often about the All-Russian holiday on December 31.

Recall that last year, a decision was approved to make December 31 a day off. Initially, the idea was proposed by the leadership of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation. The department considered that in this way the Russians will get more time to prepare for the New Year and will be able to rationally manage the New Year's holidays and have a more productive rest. The corresponding document was signed by the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin.
