The head of the Severny municipal district of the Kalininsky district of St. Petersburg, Yuri Kulikov, showed how he removes snow using a flamethrower.
He went out to clear snow in an unusual way as a call for coordinated work by public utilities.
Kulikov posted a video with a flamethrower on Kulikov’s page on the social network VKontakte.
The official appeared in the video to the music from the film "Ghostbusters"
He melted snow with a flamethrower to show how much the authorities would like to remove all the snow in St. Petersburg.
Kulikov accompanied the video with the words that it is impossible to remove snow in the city in this way.
At present, the coordinated work of public utilities is much more important.
The head of the municipality called on citizens not to remain indifferent and to take part in clearing snow drifts from city streets.
The video also shows volunteers and officials working together to remove snow using shovels.
Kulikov's post was apparently liked by many. City residents left many positive comments under the official's post.
