Deputies of the State Assembly of the Altai Territory are very careful people. In their work, they pay attention to every little thing that, at least purely hypothetically, could interfere with their fruitful work for the benefit of the inhabitants of the region. So, on Wednesday, parliamentarians decided not to work at all. The reason for the forced day off was a rare astronomical phenomenon - a total solar eclipse. The first session of the State Assembly of the new convocation was to take place today in Gorno-Altaisk. However, this important event was postponed to Friday.
