Blogger-urbanist Ilya Varlamov visited the Petersburg village of Shushary and ridiculed him on his blog, ironically calling him "little Switzerland."
Varlamov, who regularly criticizes the dense and high -rise buildings of microdistricts in the cities of Russia , is ironic and “admires” the shushars in the post. For example, he talks about “special water tanks” along the sidewalks, applying photos with asphalt flooded after rain.
- I remember that I once ended up in the new area of Munich and could not find a single institution where it would be possible to drink coffee and warm up. In Shushara there is no shortage of cozy cafes. It seems that you are not in the sleeping area, but on the central square of some European city! (The paragraph is accompanied by a photograph of the Lark “Different Beer” and “Georgian Bakery” - approx. “Papers” ).
In the same manner, Varlamov drew attention to wooden floorings and a partial absence of coating on the sidewalks, monotonous houses, wastelands with building materials and streams of dirty water littered with garbage. Separately, the blogger noted the Shushara metro, which is located almost five kilometers from the village itself, is surrounded by a industrial zone and where, according to Varlamov, you can find flocks of stray dogs.

Earlier, in an interview with Paper, Varlamov told why Petersburg so often criticizes.
