The communists were not allowed into Theater Square and were sent to Kostino.

      Today, April 29, at a meeting of the Kirov City Duma, Deputy Mikhail Kremlov delivered a short speech. He criticized local authorities for the crumbling facades of buildings in Kirov, deteriorating stairs and sidewalks, potholes on the roads, damage to green spaces, the lack of major repairs on houses, debts of the Capital Repair Fund, as well as difficulties in getting appointments with officials and their disregard for complaints.

      In addition, the deputy spoke about the difficult situation regarding the Communist Party of the Russian Federation's traditional May 1 events. According to him, for many decades, the party held its events in May and November at the same time in the main square of the city. However, this year, when its representatives submitted the corresponding application, they received a refusal from the administration.

      Officials reported that the opening of the motorcycle season, led by the head of the administration Vyacheslav Simakov, was scheduled for the requested time. And that the Communist Party could hold its events... in Kostino. Kremlov expressed the opinion that this is disrespectful to all the people for whom the May Day holiday is important.

      After the meeting of the Duma, information emerged that the opening of the motorcycle season might be postponed due to bad weather. We contacted Simakov, who stated that the authorities are currently discussing whether to postpone the opening or not. He promised to provide a definite answer in two days. That is... May 1.

      In a conversation with Newsler.ru journalist, Mikhail Kremlov stated that they would certainly not go to Kostino. And they would not be able to organize events in Theater Square, even if the bikers postponed their opening, because the administration sent an official refusal.

      However, it turned out that the Communist Party had agreed to hold a procession and rally on Oktyabrsky Avenue. However, judging by the length of the route, it will be very short. Initially, the communists requested a section for the procession from Young Guard Street to the Kirov monument. The administration likely decided that this was too much and allowed the procession only from Maklin to the monument. According to "Yandex Maps," this is just over two hundred meters.
