Nikolai Travkin: “Let the townspeople dry themselves off”

“The issue of naming a bridge in St. Petersburg after Akhmat Kadyrov is the exclusive prerogative of the city authorities,” said President Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov, Interfax reports.

We managed to put together a good structure for the state! Naming a bridge in St. Petersburg after Kadyrov is an internal matter of St. Petersburg, trolleybuses and trams stopped due to lack of money - an internal matter of Saratov...

But to find suitable people and push them into the mayorship of St. Petersburg and Saratov - this is the Kremlin’s business and let the townspeople wipe themselves out.”
