Russia to double fines for smoking and alcohol violations
Original: штраф
Russian authorities plan to double fines for smoking and alcohol-related violations in the near future, according to news reports from Sevastopol. Separately, DW reports that Russia also wants to raise administrative fines for political offences, in some cases by as much as fifty times. The simultaneous hikes have drawn attention to how broadly penalties are increasing across both everyday and political violations.
Why now: New government plans to sharply increase fines for both everyday and political violations are drawing wide public attention in Russia.
