Denis Kravchenko, First Deputy Chairman of the Russian State Duma Committee on Economic Policy, said that in Russia it is impossible to shorten the New Year's weekend, since after them the working capacity of Russians increases. This is reported by URA.RU.

“I welcome a long vacation. I think this is a good switch, unloading and time to be with my family. I believe that after the holidays, people have an increase in efficiency and general tone. It is clear that it is expensive for the employer, but due to the fact that there are January, May and November holidays, people are less likely to take vacations, "said Kravchenko.

According to him, everyone has the right to choose for himself how he will spend the New Year's weekend.

Earlier, State Duma Deputy Yevgeny Fedorov sent a letter to the head of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation Anton Kotyakov, in which he proposed extending the upcoming New Year holidays for working pensioners by four days.

The parliamentarian noted in his address that during this year the coronavirus pandemic continues, which poses the greatest danger to the elderly.
