Smolny allowed Petersburgers to hold a rally against the Kadyrov bridge

The Government of St. Petersburg agreed in the city of a rally against the name of the bridge across the Duderhof Canal in honor of the former head of Chechnya Akhmat Kadyrov. This was announced by the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg Maxim Reznik.

"(Rally) agreed!" - The deputy wrote in his microblog onTwitter . According to him, the event will be held on Monday, June 6, at 19:00 on the Marse Field.

Recall, with the idea to name the nameless bridge across the Duderhofka River in the Krasnoselsky district of St. Petersburg in honor of Akhmat Kadyrov, several Russian public organizations previously performed. A week ago, the toponymic commission examined the initiative. However, the first time experts did not approve the idea. A positive decision was made only with repeated voting.

The head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, called the decision "correct and fair." Meanwhile, a group of deputies of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg and some cultural figures opposed the Most of the Bridge named after the First President of Chechnya.

On May 28, a rally was held in St. Petersburg against the assignment of the Former Chechen Leader bridge. On the Internet, the collection of signatures against such a renaming the bridge began. At the moment, more than 57 thousand people have signed under the corresponding petition .

Against the backdrop of a violent discussion around the decision of the toponymic commission, Petersburg activists made a comic proposal to rename Nevsky Prospekt in Ramzan Kadyrov Avenue, the current head of the Chechen Republic.
