Alexander KHRISTOFOROV, deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly, coordinator of the Pskov regional branch of the LDPR: “We need to be more careful in expressions, show restraint. Russia and Belarus are a single union state, so we need to speak and negotiate in the interests of the population. The conflict does not benefit the states, but competitors benefit from it. It is necessary to determine the volumes not only of dairy products, but also of goods of the Russian Federation and other items, there are problems there. There are many different options for solving the problem, you have to sit down and negotiate. Otherwise, the milk war could turn into a gas war.”

Ivan Tsetsersky, head of the city of Pskov: “We considered the possibility of cities participating in budgetary lending to the road industry. The Pskov region will receive a little more than 90 million rubles of a budget loan at 3-3.5% per annum for the construction, reconstruction, overhaul and maintenance of public roads. Next week, this amount will be distributed among the municipalities of the Pskov region. Considering that Pskov has a large area, a large share of the population, a large number of roads and, most importantly, the largest number of transport units per capita, we will be very interested in the maximum share of this loan. But this issue will be resolved exclusively by Governor Andrei Turchak. The budget credit is given for three years, and its repayment will be in three years. If we imagine that inflation today is 13-14%, then, having taken 30 million rubles today, taking into account inflation, we will give back 15 million in three years. This, of course, is beneficial.”

Hegumen Macarius (Shvayko), Abbot of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Monastery: “This year we would celebrate the 440th anniversary of the founding of the Holy Mountains, but since in 1924 the Soviet government, without the initiative of the people, simply renamed the historical name into the village of Pushkinskiye Gory by its decrees, it will be difficult to do so. Culture has always had some kind of double standards - on the one hand, it seems like culture, and on the other, something can be cut off and broken. How so? So we propose, using the example of other cities, to rename the Pushkin Mountains to the Saints, writing: “Pskov region, Pushkinogorsk district, town. Holy Mountains. And we have Pushkin mountains, and the school named after Pushkin, and the Pushkinogorskaya camp site, and the Pushkin Museum-Reserve, and the "Pushkin" restaurant "Lukomorye". Well, what is it?

Lyubov KOZMINA, curator of the Petrovskoye Estate Museum: “The issue of renaming the Pushkin Mountains has not been raised since 1990 - since Semyon Stepanovich Geychenko, in his article “Lies about the Pushkin Reserve”, published in the newspaper “Pushkinsky Krai”, answering the unscrupulous journalist of the “Moscow Church Herald” Olga Petrovskaya, wrote : “I never ranted about the return of the historical name “Holy Mountains” to the village (and not to the city) of Pushkinskiye Gory. I am in favor of adding "Pushkinskiye" to the old name "Holy Mountains" and giving the village the official name "Holy Pushkinskiye Gory". And after this answer, the topic of renaming the village was not disturbed. That is, they were silent for almost 20 years, from 1990 to 2009. And suddenly, now! Pushkinsky Reserve, Pushkinskie Gory - a place of worship, this is a pearl. You feel proud that we are preserving this place not only for Russian, but also for world culture. Here is the Svyatogorsky Monastery, where Pushkin, during the burial of his mother, bought himself a place for a future grave. Many cultural figures of the 20th century came here, praying for this place with their word. As true bearers of culture, they understood that a historical progression had taken place, so the two concepts of "Saints" and "Pushkin" Mountains became one. It is unworthy to rename the village and simply throw away the name of Pushkin.”

Dmitry MIKHAILOV, Chairman of the Youth Affairs Committee of the Pskov Administration: “For Pskov, it would be ideal to create a Youth House, but so far we are talking about the reorganization of the Youth Club and the Youth Labor Exchange so that work with youth is built more efficiently. For the first time, two areas are more relevant - this is the employment of young people and the organization of their leisure. If everything was concentrated in one place, the youth of Pskov would not have to run to different parts of the city. The idea of reorganizing the Youth Labor Exchange and the Molodyozhny club by merging was announced to the head of the administration of Pskov, Yan Luzin. But, in any case, it will take more than one month to resolve the issue - it will be necessary to prepare and certify a lot of documents, and resolve many issues in order to ensure compliance with labor legislation, since at the moment local governments have little employment authority. This work will probably be carried out within a year.
