Earlier, on June 4, the head of the Accounts Chamber of Russia, Alexei Kudrin, in a conversation with Izvestia, expressed the opinion that the number of holidays in the country should be reduced. According to Kudrin, in terms of a country’s GDP, the more working days in a month or a year, the greater the GDP.
At the same time, Kotyakov said that in 2021 December 31 falls on Saturday and will be a day off, so the Russians are waiting for nine days of New Year’s holidays. He later noted that the department would consider the possibility of making the last day of the year a permanent day off.
