Dmitry Peskov told reporters that on Saturday in the morning, Vladimir Putin took part in a ceremony dedicated to the completion of the construction of the first stage of the Lakhta Center. From a yacht in the Gulf of Finland, he watched the raising of the flags of Russia, the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire. According to Peskov, this “symbolizes historical continuity.” “Three flags are a symbol of the continuity of our Russian statehood. The history of Russia is not limited to the latest history, we have a very ancient and rich history,” the Kremlin speaker noted. He added that there is no more sense in raising the flag of the Soviet Union.
The ceremony, according to him, also symbolizes the beginning of the second stage of the creation of the Lakhta Center.
