Russian lawmakers want to punish people who drink heavily during May holidays. A member of the State Duma believes workers should not show up with hangovers after celebrations. Andrei Kolesnik thinks employers should take action against staff who blame their poor condition on holiday parties. He called excessive drinking an insult to the memory of ancestors who fought for the country. The deputy specifically mentioned those who celebrate May 9 but never served in the military themselves.
Kolesnik suggested companies could fine these employees, take away their bonuses, or give them official warnings. He explained that Russian veterans did not sacrifice themselves for future generations to become intoxicated during holidays. The politician clarified that his proposal does not aim to ban alcohol consumption completely on these special days. He simply wants people to celebrate responsibly. The State Duma continues discussing appropriate ways for Russians to observe May holidays without disrespecting their historical significance.
