Beglov commented on the action on April 21

The governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov, speaking in Zaks, commented on a protest action on April 21 in St. Petersburg. This was his answer to the question of the deputy of Zaks Boris Vishnevsky about why Petersburg became the leader in the number of detentions that day. The decoding of his response is given by znak.com and the telegram channel "Rotonda".

The governor noted that the action was carried out in violation of the law, and the organizers did not submit a formal application for its implementation (the organizers reported that they submitted notifications in the administration of Moscow and St. Petersburg). According to Beglov, on April 21, a “bunch of instigators” led youth and minors to the street, which led to a violation of transport links, and also frightened women and children.

- What happened on April 21? A bunch of submaciter organizers brought youth and minors. Thus, the rhythm of the city was broken, transport communication was broken, performances were torn off, an ambulance did not reach someone, someone was late for the plane. The worst thing is that women and children were scared. We do not know who finances these organizers and what are they achieving? We know.

After that, the Begs in the context of protest shares began to talk about things that are not related to these actions. For example, about anonymous calls on the mining of city institutions - Beglov said that the largest number of them arrives during the shares. “I can understand everything, but when schools, PND, hospitals per 1000 beds [evacuated]. This is blasphemy and blasphemous permissiveness, ”said Beglov.

The governor also recalled cases of abuse of eternal flame, although they are in no way connected with protest actions. “I will say something else: several bastards extinguished the fire on the Marse Field . And several other bastards began to fry sausages on eternal heat in Kronstadt. With all the understanding of the questions in Moscow, we had, but we had, ”said Beglov.

There were several such cases. Perhaps we are talking about the incident, which occurred on December 17, 2020: then unknown people attached eternal flame with snow.
