“The boss gave me permission not to come. Thank you, Medvedev": St. Petersburg residents stand in traffic jams and discuss the arrival of the Prime Minister

On April 12, several large traffic jams formed in the center of St. Petersburg. Some roads were blocked, and the GPS began to malfunction. Drivers attribute this to the visit of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who is holding a meeting of the commission on import substitution in St. Petersburg today.
