The leader of the Leningrad group, Sergei Shnurov, published a new track “Penitent” on YouTube as a response to criticism of his previous video “So far”. Cords in his unique manner “apologizes” to the St. Petersburg authorities and promises to take the blame for the garbage, ice and icicles in the northern capital.
Recall that earlier Shnurov ridiculed the St. Petersburg officials for their inaction with a song about a snow and garbage collapse in the city. The video clip has already gained more than a million views on YouTube in a few days.
Those in power did not like the song. They began to criticize Shnurov. So, State Duma deputy Sergei Boyarsky was outraged by obscene language in the song. Another United Russia party, Mikhail Romanov, said that “it turned out very evil and very ugly.”
At the same time, Boris Vishnevsky, deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, criticized the authorities for criticizing Shnurov. According to him, officials and deputies, instead of solving city problems, spend time and energy exposing critics of the authorities.
Vishnevsky wrote in his Facebook: “Smolny tirelessly promotes Shnurov. “The best people of the city” are thrown into battle with him, starting from Boyarsky and ending with Romanov – with the expected success of such an advertising campaign.
“In no way am I a fan of Shnurov’s work, but what the townspeople say, trying to walk along the streets in the center and not only, contains much more non-parliamentary expressions than in his video,” Vishnevsky noted. – Gentlemen officials, you should spend your energy on cleaning the city, and not on denouncing its critics! It would be more useful.”
He added that the cleaning disaster continues, and suggested that officials “read social networks”, “or better yet, walk the streets.”
At the same time, the parliamentarian drew attention, over the past ten days there has not been a single piece of news on the Smolny website about the authorities dealing with the problem of winter cleaning.
“How will it not exist. Amazing indifference,” summed up Vishnevsky.
