🤡 17 thousand people-so many Petersburgers came to the Z-Miting at the Peter and Paul Fortress
In St. Petersburg, about 17 thousand people gathered in St. Petersburg in honor of the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland, which took place in the Peter and Paul Fortress, Catherine Mashukova writes to the head of the regional Popular Front.
Details . On the afternoon of February 22, a “patriotic” rally concert was held in St. Petersburg, which was not announced anywhere. The MR7 edition counted about 1000 people who gathered at the Peter and Paul Fortress.
Fontanka wrote that this is a “secret patriotic concert” in honor of the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland. Anonymous officials told reporters that the instruction to organize and hold a rally came on February 21.
General picture . In St. Petersburg, according to an anti -icing government decree, the organization and visit of public events is prohibited . The last time the authorities extended the restriction until March 31, 2023.
Smolny is not the first time holding mass public events, ignoring his own ban. So, for example, in May 2022, the authorities held the Victory Parade and the procession of the “Immortal Regiment” in a traditional full -time format. And in September - a concert in support of the “joining” to Russia of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions.
At the beginning of February 2023, Deputy Zaksa Alexander Shishlov received a response from Rospotrebnadzor to his request. The answer stated that the preserved prohibitions on rallies "contribute to counteracting the spread of both Covid-19 and other infectious diseases."
