To implement January 9, 2026 was asked a day off in Duma. This initiative comes from Deputy Yaroslav Nilov. He wrote about this in his Telegram channel.
On January 9, it will be on Friday, which means it needs to be done one weekend, “so as not to torture people with a Friday day between holidays and weekends,” he said.
According to the deputy, if the idea is realized, the new year holiday will last from December 31 to January 11. January 12 will be the first worker on Monday.
