In the publication, the blogger called Petrozavodsk entrepreneurs and opponents of the new rules for placing signs in the city “shit guards on guard of visual debris.” “All these wonderful people dream of further disfiguring Petrozavodsk, so that every day the townspeople are sick of their colorful advertising, which they have dirtied every piece of space,” wrote the blogger.
