Contrary to popular belief, the rules of conduct in public places are not canceled on New Year’s Eve, reminds the banki.ru portal.
In particular, celebrating citizens should comply with the requirements of the legislation “On Silence”, according to which many regions have their own restrictions. Thus, in Moscow and the Moscow region, making noise on weekends and holidays is prohibited from 23:00 to 10:00, unless the noise accompanies events permitted by the authorities. Obviously, neighbors are more tolerant of violations on a holiday night, but exceptions are possible. However, in a number of regions there are “New Year’s indulgences”. So, in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region, on January 1, noise is allowed until 4:00, in Samara – until 3:00, and in the Altai Territory until 6:00.
Responsibility for violations also exists – in Moscow, for example, citizens can receive a fine of up to two thousand rubles, administrative persons – up to eight thousand, and an organization – from 40 to 80 thousand rubles.
There may also be problems with drinking champagne on the street, because alcohol is only allowed to be consumed at home, as well as in cafes and other catering establishments. For violating these rules you can pay from 500 to 1,500 rubles. It is also prohibited to be in public places while intoxicated and to behave in a way that could be regarded as an insult to human dignity and public morality. Such manifestations entail a fine of 500 to 1,500 rubles, and in some cases – administrative arrest for up to 15 days.
Fireworks also cannot be launched in any place you like (including from a balcony or roof) – special areas have been designated for this. Failure to comply with the rules may result in a fine of 1.5 thousand to 5 thousand rubles. If fireworks launched in the wrong place cause damage to the property or health of citizens, liability may become criminal.
Parents also need to supervise their minor children. In the regions, a kind of “curfew” is provided, during which children under 16 years of age (in some regions – up to 17 years of age) are not allowed to be on the streets unaccompanied by adults. Violation threatens with administrative liability, and sometimes with the intervention of guardianship authorities.
