The police asked the St. Petersburg bookstore “Everyone is Free” to remove the sign “Peace!” from the window. The store’s press service reported this in Telegram.

“The inscription “Peace!” hung in our window for almost two years. All this time people have been asking us: why haven’t you been forced to take it off yet? We naively answered that this is a call for peace, who would think of being against it? There are such people, and they write denunciations. Today a police squad came to us and politely asked to remove the inscription from the window. We ourselves are surprised that it hung there for so long,” the bookstore said in a statement.

December 17 to the inscription “Peace” unknown glued the word “Za”.
