How Russian Cities Greet Putin — Unexpected FOOTAGE
In Krasnoyarsk on August 2, gasoline prices dropped sharply: AI-95 fell from 91 to 67 rubles, AI-92 from 87 to 63. The company explained this by logistics and supplies from the Achinsk refinery. The decrease coincided with Putin's visit, where he attended the 'Big Change' contest, and schoolchildren chanted his name. Security measures have been tightened.
On the evening of August 2, retail fuel prices in Krasnoyarsk dropped sharply. At gas stations of the Krasnoyarsknefteprodukt network, AI-95 gasoline fell from 91 to 67 rubles per liter, and AI-92 from 87 to 63 rubles. The company explained this by 'temporarily improved logistics' and direct supplies of an additional volume of fuel from the Achinsk refinery, emphasizing that the batch is limited and prices may rise again after it is exhausted. The price reduction coincided with Vladimir Putin's working visit to the region. On the morning of August 3, a government motorcade was spotted in Krasnoyarsk, and city authorities introduced enhanced security measures: traffic and parking were restricted on key streets, and practical driving lessons were temporarily banned. A similar case occurred during Putin's trip to Irkutsk on July 24, where AI-95 fell by 12.6 rubles. As part of the visit, Putin attended the final of the all-Russian children's contest 'Big Change'. The president's appearance caused a stormy, possibly pre-arranged reaction: schoolchildren chanted his surname and applauded for several minutes. Putin congratulated the finalists and stated that the main task is 'victory over oneself', noting Krasnoyarsk's role as a scientific and educational center. The article references The Insider.
