Direct speech

Alexander KOTOV, chairman of the regional Assembly of Deputies, secretary of the political council of the regional branch of United Russia: “We had problems in Pustoshkinsky and Gdovsky districts, as well as in other territories where our candidates got a lot of votes. The election result is good, but I would not say that we have reached such perfection that we can easily win any campaign.”

Elena YAKOVLEVA, Chairman of the State Committee of the Pskov Region for the Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites: “We do not have the task of leaving the inhabitants of the Pskov region without a road. As in any unpleasant event, I think that the time for emotions has passed and the time has come for constructive negotiations on how to get out of this situation. Now the work is being completed to determine the damage in terms of the archaeological heritage, response sheets for these works have been requested, the question has been raised about financing the work that should nevertheless precede the construction work, and about coordinating the intentions of the customer. The most important thing at this stage is that the dilemma - either the road or the antiquities - has been removed. This topic is no more. It is necessary that the cultural heritage be in order, and the road should also serve the people who need it.”
According to PLN , 24 September.

Igor KALASHNIKOV, head of the administration of Pskov: “The topics related to transport are one of the priorities for us. It is no secret that the issue of the southern bypass has not yet been removed from the agenda. The road company "Sevzapdorstroy" next year begins to build a bypass from Lyubyatovo to Stremutka. The road that passes through Cherekha and Kresty is a city line, traffic lights are now regulated there, work is underway to design lighting. A road junction was designed at the entrance to the White Mokh cemetery - then the issue of stopping public transport here will also be resolved. I think that in the future the issue of building a bridge in the village of Rodina, from the Gdov direction to the Baltic states, will be resolved. A lot is being done in the city and it is planned to change transport interchanges. After all, traffic jams in Pskov are very serious. We are trying to remove some traffic jams, organize detours of the busiest highways - Trud, Yubileinaya, Rizhsky, for which we are repairing Oleg Koshevoy and Krasnoarmeyskaya streets. The mere commissioning of Gorky Street with an exit to Rizhsky Prospekt showed the importance of such events. And besides, for the first time in the history of Pskov, they ordered an expensive scheme for organizing traffic in Pskov.”
According to the CDI , September 30.

Natalia SOKOLOVA, deputy head of Pskov: “Of course, I am for the city to be for people, not for cars. I am a supporter of the fact that if you bought a car, then you must have the means to maintain it and put it in paid parking, and not under the window. But in fact, there are not enough parking spaces in the city, and this work is underway.”

Ivan KALININ, honorary citizen of the city of Pskov: “I am proud that I stayed in Pskov. Pskov is a real Russian city, and I love it very much. The city is developing: this year, on the occasion of the City Day, many streets have been repaired, something is being done in the yards, new houses are being built, new districts are being designed. We underestimate Pskov, we run somewhere, everything is in worries, and we don’t even think about what land we live on.”

Sergey KORSAKOV, director of the regional operator - Capital Repair Fund of the Pskov region: “Meetings in the districts showed that the class of owners never appeared. As a result of this class being absent, the Capital Repair Fund was born. This is an absolute predictable continuation of the inactivity of the population. This is not MMM, this is the law [on the regional overhaul operator. - Ed.], which was necessary, - added Sergei Korsakov. It's good that he showed up. It makes it possible to find out what kind of housing stock we have. After all, neither the owners nor the authorities often know the condition of the house.”
According to the PAI , 29 September.

David SMELYANSKY, chief producer of the Crescendo music festival: “The festival has become a global brand, it has become an honor for every musician to take part in Crescendo concerts. Many participants of the festival have a new solo, international destiny. We would never have done this without the support of Pskov. We are happy that the administrative mind and taste made it possible for the festival to survive here. Especially with the advent of the governor Andrei Turchak. With his arrival, a new life of the Crescendo festival began on the Pskov land. I think the festival will live for a long time, and it will have many children.”
