Vladimir Putin continues the work of Peter the Great, said St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov, commenting on the results of the United Russia party congress, the delegates of which unanimously supported the nomination of the current president for a new term.
“320 years ago, at the height of the confrontation with Sweden, Peter the Great founded a new capital. He didn’t know if he would win the war. And he had nothing but a powerful will, love for Russia and the memory of the exploits of the holy noble prince Alexander Nevsky, who was the first to repel the threat from the West to our people and state. Peter defeated the Swedes, consolidated the victory and transferred the relics of Alexander Nevsky to St. Petersburg. We will elect our president in the year when this event turns 300 years old,” Beglov noted.
According to him, “Peter the Great completed what Alexander Nevsky started, and now our president continues Peter’s work.” “Today he is the force that resists chaos. And for everyone who stands on the side of dignity and common sense, the president’s support is the only possible scenario,” the governor of St. Petersburg is convinced. In his opinion, for the world, President Vladimir Putin is “the main defender of traditional values and justice,” and for Russia, “the unconditional national leader, the one who taught us again to respect ourselves and our country.” “His course did not just unite our society. It gives concrete, positive results. For St. Petersburg, our president is the guarantor of the solution to all our large-scale tasks. Continuing Peter’s work, the president fulfilled his dream and protected our city from floods. With him, we can be confident and calm about the future of Russia and St. Petersburg,” said Alexander Beglov.
Let us recall that Vladimir Putin announced his decision to run for a new presidential term on December 8 in the Kremlin during a conversation with participants in the ceremony for the Day of Heroes of the Fatherland. At the 21st Congress of United Russia, which took place at the international exhibition and forum “Russia” at VDNKh, the party supported the nomination of Putin as a candidate for the election of head of state.
According to the decision of the Central Election Commission, the presidential elections in the Russian Federation will be held from March 15 to March 17, 2024.
