The Forbidden fruit is sweet. On the eve of the New Year holidays, the Moscow government remembered this and decided to lift the ban on fireworks on New Year’s introduced a couple of weeks ago. The stricter the taboo, the more radical its violations will be. After all, Muscovites will not refuse the usual firecrackers and fireworks under any circumstances. “We will not ban the use of firecrackers, but it is necessary to teach Muscovites how to use them correctly,” said Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov.
