Prohibition for Vologda: The local governor wants to limit alcohol sales to two hours a day.

The bill has already been submitted to the local parliament. Governor Georgy Filimonov offers Tighten the sale of alcohol on weekdays and New Year's holidays: only from 12 to 14 hours.

In addition, the head of the region wants to introduce a total ban on the sale of alcohol on Spring and Labor Day (May 1), Russia Day (June 12), Knowledge Day (September 1), National Unity Day (November 4), and Constitution Day (December 12).

It is specified that the law should come into force in March of next year.

It's worth noting that the restrictions will not affect catering establishments: that is, alcohol will still be sold in cafes and restaurants.

On the intention to restrict the sale of alcohol, Filimonov said back in early October, promising to remove large chain liquor stores from the region. Residents aren't thrilled with the idea: last year Vologda region entered the top ten most drinking regions of Russia.

Georgy Filimonov positions himself as a proponent of a healthy and athletic lifestyle, often speaks about Slavic traditions, and is currently participating in the congress of the Tsargrad Society for the Promotion of Russian Historical Development.
