Trampling
down the law and neglecting public opinion and protests by
the renowned cultural figures, scientists, architects, including
those who developed the City Planning Code of St.Petersburg,
the government of St.Petersburg allowed Gazprom to build a
403 m high skyscraper.
This is a pert spit to all of us, who value the historical
look of St.Petersburg.
This is a desire to demonstrate to us that the opinion of
the villains is worth nothing compared to the will of the
lord.
This is announcing war to the society and Law.
We are accepting the battle. And shall conduct it until victory
over vandals who are temporarily set to rule our favourite
city.
Those who voted for this decision – and Governor Valentina
Matviyenko first of all – should think about the inevitable
trial of history. And only it: we shall do all we can so that
they would by judged by an ordinary trial too. The next meeting
of the Bureau of St.Petersburg YABLOKO will examine the issue
of launching a campaign for the resignation of Governor Matviyenko.
We shall use all the lawful means so that this monstrous decision
be revoked.
We are calling all who worship Petersburg, whatever political
views they share, to join in a fight for preservation of the
city our ancestors left for us. They defended Leningrad and
we should preserve St.Petersburg!
This is our duty.
This is our city!
Maxim Reznik,
Chairman of St.Petersburg YABLOKO
