The St. Petersburg government has decided to name one of the city’s 342 bridges after first Chechen president Akhmad Kadyrov, its spokesman told TASS on Thursday.
"The name of each hero of Russia has the right to be perpetuated in the country’s cities and this does not violate St. Petersburg’s traditions," Andrei Kibitov said. "On the contrary, this highlights our respect for Russia’s history."
