This time – about the excess of authority by employees of a private security company, who did not let the head of the RF IC Alexandra Bastrykina to the construction site of the GK “LSR“Last Sunday. Later, the Main Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for St. Petersburg confirmed that the decision to initiate a criminal case against the employees of the private security company was signed for the second time.

Demand for the countryside, housing for the military-industrial complex, overhaul of the embankment

Petersburgers still believe in dollars and euros, opening deposits in them.

Theater festivals have been held under new conditions for more than a year now. Although there are still many difficulties, some of the organizers are trying to find pluses in the current situation.
