In St. Petersburg on the bridge named after the First President of Chechnya Akhmat Kadyrov, a banner was hung with his quote, reports Flashnord. "Kill as many Russians as you can. A. Kadyrov" - it was written on a stretch.
In 2008, in an interview with the author of the film "Coca: Die Taube aus tschetschenien" Eric Bergraut himself confirmed that he spoke these words in 1995 or 1996.
The prosecutor's office of St. Petersburg began a check on the fact of the appearance of a banner. “We started a verification. There is reason to assume that the actions of the organizers of the action see signs of inciting national growth,” a source in the supervisory authority told the agency.
However, the senior assistant prosecutor of St. Petersburg for media relations Julian Alekseev denies the audit. "We do not conduct an audit for these circumstances. Moreover, we do not have data on the appearance of such an inscription. There were no relevant appeals to the city prosecutor's office," said Alekseeva.
On Thursday, the spokesman for the governor of St. Petersburg Andrei Kibitov said that Georgy Poltavchenko signed a decision on the assignment of a bridge in the south-west of the city named after Kadyrov. “St. Petersburg is a part of Russia, the second city of the country. And Russia remembers and honors all its heroes. Our country does not share heroes by nationality. Never divided and will not share. This is the essence of our multinational unity,” Kibitov said. “Russian people make exploits for Russia and in the name of Russia. Trying to apply a formula for the heroes - he did nothing for St. Petersburg - this means denying the very existence of our city, which has been the capital of the multinational Russian state for almost 300 years. "
On Thursday, deputies of the city Legislative Assembly from Yabloko, Boris Vishnevsky and Alexander Kobrinskynovo, were the prosecutor of St. Petersburg Sergey Litvinenko, which indicated that the decision of Poltavchenko was published "in violation of the terms of anti -corruption examination and public discussion." The resolution was dated June 15, deputies explained, while the term of public discussion expires only on the 16th.
“We ask you to verify the legality of the adoption of this resolution and, if violations of the legislation are identified, raise the issue of its cancellation,” Vishnevsky and Kobrinsky concluded their appeal.
Another deputy of the Legislative Assembly Maxim Reznik said that in the coming days he would file similar statements both to the prosecutor and to the court. Reznik also refers to violation of the terms of anti -corruption examination and public discussion.
The decision signed by Poltavchenko became known the day before . The initiative of the governor to name the bridge across Duderhofka by the name Kadyrov, formed by the decision of the city toponymic commission , caused the indignation of the Petersburgers. On the Change.org platform, the collection of signatures under the petition against such a name was started. By Saturday, the document collected over 96 thousand signatures.
On June 6, a coordinated rally against the initiative of the authorities, gathered about 1000 people ( 
On the night of June 9, next to another bridge across Duderhofka, located in the neighborhood, unknown drew a large portrait of Colonel of the Russian Army Yuri Budanov, convicted of the murder of Chechen girl, Elsa Kungaeva. Next to the portrait was depicted the Order of Courage, which Budanov was deprived of by court decision. The action took place on the eve of the five -year period from the day of the murder of a former colonel.
