Just have a look at the following articles and you will know why. In an age where the Maltese government is reducing off-days (because of the public holidays on weekends issue), you have a Russian region that actually promotes a day off. But this is not to celebrate a feast or national holidays. On the other hand, it is aimed at couples to go home, together, and make babies. Just lovely. And if you succeed by giving birth to a child on Lenin's birthday (12th June) you will also get a prize ranging from a car, fridge or cash:
Russians given day off work to make babies
It is an incentive to increase the dwindling population. I like it and it works:
More than 500 women signed up for the second contest, in 2006, resulting in 78 babies being born nine months later, which was more than triple the region's daily average.
Now that the election is very close, how about some political party bringing this up as part of its manifesto?
