The other day, the St. Petersburg Licensing Chamber finally found a new leader. This was Marina Klimova, who previously headed the registration chamber. The position of chairman of the licensing chamber, which remained vacant for exactly a year - since its former head Sergei Vetlugin moved to the vice-governor's chair - has been filled. However, this does not mean that the whole year was “in vain” for the licensing chamber. Quite the contrary.

Early Sunday morning, the Kronstadt fort "Alexander" died from loss of pulse. The third annual electronic music festival “Ultimate Dance Trip Fort - 2002” (Fort) has ended. The slogan of the current festival is “Youth against drugs.” As the organizers stated: “For the first time in St. Petersburg, our festival is being held with the support of the GUBNON Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.” It would be civilly wrong not to go to Kronstadt and skip the “support” work of GUBNON.

The forest is our wealth! This slogan, well known since Soviet times, today, in addition to being abstract, also receives a very real content. The forest is truly a wealth. For example, an ordinary spruce is not only an invariable attribute of the New Year holiday, but also “green” (in the sense of dollars, well, or “wooden” rubles, as you like).

Last week, representatives of the city’s executive and legislative authorities, as well as well-known businessmen, gathered at 27 Italianskaya Street (known to city residents as the Radio House), where the international press center “St. Petersburg - 300 Years” has been operating for three months. We gathered to begin the countdown of the days remaining until the anniversary of the northern capital. Moreover, the appropriate figure was chosen - 300 days before the anniversary.

The city election commission proposed changing the boundaries of electoral districts. For the reason that the number of voters living in certain areas has changed. So the upcoming election campaign for elections to the city Legislative Assembly is acquiring a new flavor of piquancy. And they are already actively preparing for this. For example, SPS and Yabloko signed an election agreement a few days ago.
