Suggestion by a State Duma MP to maintain the traditional two-day May holidays celebration, rather than dividing it into separate occasions.
Here's a fresh take on the topic:

Deputy Igor Antonenko from the State Duma is pushing for a major revamp of the May holidays. Instead of the usual split holidays, he's proposing a continuous break from May 1 to May 9, creating an extended weekend.
"Merging the May holidays into one stretch without a hitch could revolutionize the work calendar," Antonenko told TASS. He believes this move would allow people ample time to gear up for the summer season and wrap up all essential tasks on their plots.
Refuting concerns about the break's impact on traveling, Antonenko noted, "Sure, some folks might desire the days between the May holidays, but it's understandable that this puts employers in a bind. Clearly, we're not discussing shift work. This change would benefit schoolkids and students, especially those gearing up for exams."
Antonenko represents Omsk Oblast in the State Duma. While his proposal hasn't seen any discussions in the Duma yet, extended holidays or long weekends around early May, including International Workers' Day (May 1) and Victory Day (May 9), are occasionally debated in Russia. For the latest updates on legislative proposals related to May holidays, consider checking official Russian State Duma press releases or reputable Russian news sources.
I'm not sure about the potential implications for policy-and-legislation, but Deputy Igor Antonenko's proposal to extend May holidays could significantly alter the work calendar and politics surrounding general news in Russia. The question remains whether this proposal will be supported and fully debated in the Russian State Duma, or if it will remain a topic of discussion in policy-and-legislation, politics, and general news.
