She is also a Russian-Paraguayan singer, and therefore everything related to music deeply excites her.

St. Petersburg goes underground by 2 millimeters per year, and in some places more... Unique data was released by the heads of the State Unitary Enterprise “Trust for Geodetic Works and Engineering Surveys” and the Committee on Urban Planning and Architecture of the Administration of St. Petersburg.

On February 12, in the next issue of “Petersburg Line”, under the heading “Opinion”, my article “Grumpy senile enthusiasm” was published. Her main idea is this: “It is quite obvious that what was taken away from those who fight against monetization is not at all what they are crying about. In fact, the time burner has been taken away from them... Whether a person’s life in old age is empty or full depends on him...

On Tuesday, parliamentary hearings were held at the Mariinsky Palace on a topic of great concern to citizens - “Participation of residents in the management of the housing stock.” One of the main topics was the question of the activities of the Peter Dussmann company in the Admiralteysky district.

Underworld In Rus', as you know, you can’t say no to money or prison. From everything else, however, too. If something happens to someone, it’s a sure sign that it can happen to you too. And even if it hasn’t happened to anyone, you are still not guaranteed anything. You who grumble in vain against God in grief, man, be prepared for anything. And remember the futility of planning: while in your naivety you imagine that you will do this and do that, everything has already been planned.

Void Swallowers! – Marina Tsvetaeva called people like you and me names. Well, and everything else: grabbers of minutes, scratchers of scabs. It is pointless, they say, to spend our lives rustling with soiled, printed paper. She warned the younger generation: “Come on, girl! You will give birth to a newspaper reader.” Apparently, I definitely didn’t read it myself.

Yesterday, until about 3 p.m., none of the “outsiders” (those without permanent or temporary passes) could enter the Mariinsky Palace, where the city parliament meets.
