Lawyer Oleg Sukhov reminded the Russians of possible fines due to too noisy celebrating the New Year. Also, certain restrictions were imposed by the coronavirus pandemic, writes ” Russian newspaper “.
According to federal law, noise at night (from 23 to 7 o’clock) should not exceed a person’s calm speech. For non-compliance with the requirements of a citizen, they can be fined one thousand rubles. Regional laws may differ: for example, in Moscow the fine for breaking the silence has been increased to two thousand rubles.
“Another question is that I do not know of a single case when the authorities attracted, for example, a Muscovite or a guest of the capital for breaking the silence on New Year’s Eve. Therefore, the noise does not attract the attention of the police. If, of course, loud sounds do not indicate a crimes (for example, about a fight) or about an emergency (fire and so on), “- said the lawyer.
Moreover, as the expert says, in Russian legislation there is no single rule regarding the New Year. For example, in the Samara region, celebrations are allowed from 22:00 on December 31 to 3:00 on January 1, local time. Therefore, Sukhov advises, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with local regulations.
He also recalled that in connection with the pandemic on New Year’s Eve, mass celebrations and entertainment in institutions are prohibited. “So loud noises, noise and din on New Year’s Eve may no longer be a violation of peace and quiet, but a violation of sanitary and epidemiological norms,” Sukhov warned.
