In St. Petersburg, the International Economic Forum is already going on for the second day. In the morning, the lines were built on the PMEF site due to the inspection. During breakfasts, the representative of the Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova and the editor-in-chief of Echo of Moscow, Alexei Venediktov, argued due to the law on foreign agents. And in the afternoon, President Vladimir Putin joined the online forum.
Participants are discussing a crab-subject and stand of the Russian Post with “flying boxes”. “Paper” tells how the second day of the PMEF-2021 (in addition to signing contracts, non-wagons and speeches) passes.
In the morning and at least until 11:00 at the entrance to the PMEF site-at the Expoforum Congress and Exhibition Center-there were queues. As two visitors anonymously told the “paper” anonymously, they could not get inside for a long time due to the inspection at the entrance. According to the forum participants, they stood in line for 1.5 hours.

One of the main news of the second day of the PMEF is the dispute on the business breakfast, the official representative of the Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova and the editor -in -chief of Echo of Moscow, Alexei Venediktov.
Zakharova said that the law on foreign agents does not limit the work of the media and was adopted in response to the American law distributed on RT America. Venediktov claimed that he was poorly written and the worst thing in it was an extra -court decision. The discussion took place when the VTIMES, recognized by the foreign agent, announced the closure.
But there is good news. For example, the Murmansk region on the PMEF is represented by the Living Kamchatka crab Yuri. The regional governor Andrei Chibis said in VKontakte that he brought a meter crab to show the wealth of the Arctic. And then he talked about “belief from entrepreneurs” that a joint photo with a crab brings investment luck. Since then, Crab Yuri has been nicknamed the media as a predictor.



On the afternoon of June 3, President Vladimir Putin spoke at the PMEF in the online format. There were no jokes here: he said that the Russian economy is out of the crisis caused by Pandemia of Coronavirus. The president’s full -time presence at the forum is expected on Friday at a plenary meeting.

And Valentina Matvienko on PMEF said that "the level of education of women today in Russia is higher than that of men."
The forum participants are discussing stands again. This time, many drew attention to the "Russian Post", which showed "flying boxes." Visitors joke that this is "a monument to missing premises."


Meanwhile, Twitter users continue to joke about the participation of blogger Dani Milokhin in the first day of PMEF. Recall: Tiktoker asked the standing participants to go to the floor to shoot the video.
Why did some write, PMEF and others- Tiktokhaus?

Update. In St. Petersburg, the concerts "Caste", LSP and others were suddenly canceled. Smolny did this to preserve the “favorable epidemiological situation” against the background of PMEF and Euro 2020.
In the evening, Diana Arbenina and the Symphony Orchestra performed on Palace Square.

In the evening in St. Petersburg, Parties in honor of PMEF will again take place. “Paper” showed how the informal part of the forum was held on June 1: Lepsa, Zivert concerts, “Kino” and the new Shnurov project.
