Vladimir Yakushev: "Excessive prohibitions sometimes only cause irritation."

      May 8, 2026 11:32 Politics Initiatives to regulate established household practices are excessive, believe the "United Russia" party. In particular, this concerns proposals to regulate photo sessions with newborns. Such statements provoke public resonance and often direct outrage, noted the secretary of the party's General Council, Vladimir Yakushev. According to him, such ideas from deputies are often perceived as outright nonsense and an attempt to interfere with how people are used to living.

      "If it concerns the safety of life and health, if the proposal protects people—then it is useful, but when the initiative is unfounded, not discussed with anyone, and creates difficulties—it is only harmful. Unnecessary bans, dozens of new GOSTs, and the expansion of administrative regulation do not contribute to improving life, sometimes causing only irritation. In 'United Russia,' it is considered wrong to propose any restrictions and changes without consultations with those affected," Yakushev stated. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
