Ever suffer through sleepless nights because of rambunctious neighbors downing hooch at their backyard shindigs? Meet Yevgeny Lyulin, the boss man of the Legislative Assembly in Nizhny Novgorod region, and he's had enough! Seems like law enforcement has been hammering on "pouring points," but these bars, cafes, and buffets just won't quit.

The low-down? Scoundrel business owners are spinning loopholes in existing regulations by declaring their night-owl operations as eateries, which technically allows them to sling the good stuff past bedtime. To solve this problem, Lyulin and the deputies in Nizhny have crafted a plan:

  • jack up the foul-tasting administrative fines for breaking the rules, making it more lucrative to play by the rules than to pay up
  • rewrite the federal legislation to torch any legislative loopholes that line the pockets of these cheating entrepreneurs
  • enforce a ban on booze sales on holidays like Knowledge Day, Last Bell, and Children's Day

Lyulin's message? Hear, hear! Together, they'll analyze solutions and request a debate in the State Duma of the Russian Federation to make the alcohol turnover legislation squeaky clean!

In Nizhny Novgorod region, Yevgeny Lyulin, the boss man of the Legislative Assembly, aims to address the issue of late-night alcohol sales by businesses exploiting loopholes in the current policy-and-legislation. This is being done by increasing administrative fines, rewriting federal legislation to eliminate loopholes, and enforcing holidays bans on booze sales, as part of a wider politics initiative to improve general-news standards.
