“The Yakunins are in the Gulag!” – Limonovites in St. Petersburg blocked the “House with Lions”
Several National Bolsheviks in St. Petersburg blocked the entrance to the Four Seasons Hotel, owned by businessman Andrei Yakunin, the son of the former head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin, who opposes the special operation in Ukraine.
Materials about the action were published on the page of the party “The Other Russia E.V. Limonov,” reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The picketers came out with the slogan “Take away property from traitors to the Motherland!” and scattered relevant leaflets. Also in the hands of the National Bolsheviks were party symbols and a black banner with the letter Z.
“Andrei Yakunin is a British citizen, currently living in Italy, but this does not stop him from scolding Russian troops and defaming our Russian land. He speaks from an anti-war position, and also says that his friends are detained at anti-war rallies. The government is filled with national traitors of various kinds. This property and these parasites must be nationalized!” – said one of the activists.
Protesters proposed turning the hotel into a hospital for wounded Russian soldiers, as well as a shelter for refugees. They also demanded that the state break the lease agreement with Yakunin’s company for the building - the famous “House with Lions” near St. Isaac’s Square, and return it to the Presidential Administration.
“The Yakunins are in the Gulag! Refugees to the hotel! Select and share! Yes to the superpower, no to the super-rich!” - the National Bolsheviks shouted.
At this time, the hotel security tried to push the picketers out of the entrance; the security guards snatched the flag and loudspeaker from the hands of the Limonovites.
“A standard room at the Four Seasons costs 52 thousand rubles per day, lunch in a restaurant is more expensive than the salary of a LDNR soldier on the front line for a month. Isn’t it a shame to have feasts during war?” – activists wrote on their page.
