According to Palazhchenko, he spoke with Gorbachev, who claims that he did not give comments to the media and did not speak out in this regard.
“This issue should be decided by society and the State Duma,” he quoted the former president in a conversation with RIA Novosti.
Earlier, URA.RU reported that Gorbachev spoke about a long weekend in Russia during the New Year and May holidays.
As the agency noted, the former Soviet leader said that the weekend should be distributed more evenly.
