The Mayor Of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin
The mayor of Moscow Sergey Sobyanin on his page in “Vkontakte” commented on the proposal to move the capital of the Urals. The mayor called the idea “genius”, given the finances, which must be spent on the resettlement of officials living in the European part of the country.
“To spend a trillion or so officials refers to the 8 thousand km of 110 million Russians living in the European part. Before officials exiled to Siberia and to the East, but less expensive,” wrote mayor.
