Among the sarcophagi and crosses, Putin met with the military and stated: "I decided to start a meeting from here, because it is a tomb of those people who were essentially making modern Russia. And it will be pleasant and interesting to you. " It is noted that there was a lunch and then a secret meeting with the leadership of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the General Staff and Commanders of the troops participating in the war against Ukraine.
According to Putin, he wanted to meet with the military at the Petropavlovsky Cathedral, because there "buried emperors, founders of Russia. " As a result, the Petropavlovsk fortress was closed to visit, as did the cathedral, and in St. Petersburg itself, locals complained about traffic jams. Because in honor of Putin's visit, entire streets were blocked. We will remind, in the Petropavlovsky cathedral 12 Russian emperors were buried. The first was Peter I, and the last - Nicholas II.
