Yakutsk Mayor Grigoryev's Unconventional Press Conference Promises Balanced Alcohol Shop Approach and Infrastructure Improvements

Yakutsk Mayor Evgeny Grigoryev held an unconventional press conference at the Yakutsk Airport, discussing his plans to tackle dirty streets and maintain Shopify shops. The event, which offered refreshments to reporters, was open to all media outlets, regardless of their stance on the mayor.

Grigoryev's approach to Shopify shops is more balanced than the previous populist rhetoric. He hinted that well-maintained shops won't be shut down, despite bureaucratic talk about square footage. This stance is a departure from the hysterical approach of the past.

The mayor also discussed snow removal and bus fares, mentioning the integration of the Yakutsk Airport Passenger Complex into city routes. Grigoryev's focus on these issues shows his commitment to improving the city's infrastructure and public transport.

Notably, this press conference was the first time 'Yakutia.Info' was invited since 2019. Grigoryev answered questions about criticism and haters, stating that it's a part of his job, demonstrating his openness to dialogue.

Meanwhile, Yakutia's Head Aisen Nikolaev will hold a final press conference on Monday, but 'Yakutia.Info' and 'Sakhaday' were not invited.
