The deputy of Sverdlovsk suggested drowning pumpkins in the river to prevent young people from celebrating Halloween. Vyacheslav Wagner promises everyone who throws a pumpkin into the water a free ticket to the theater as a gift. "Please go to some wonderful show. This is exactly the Russian culture. There's a Russian spirit here, it smells like Russia, don't run around with that pumpkin," explained the lieutenant. According to Wagner, there is no need to worry about the pollution of the river, since "the pumpkin will rot as usual and the fish will eat it." The deputy did not say on his account that the young people would get free tickets, but insisted that "Halloween in Russia should be organized to resist" because this culture is alien to "the Russian soul, which has always been kind to others."
