      Matvienko artuculated her offer yet on the November, 10, but earlier than today this information was known according to information provided by oppositionists.
      
      Julia Minutina works as a school teacher and she said that she won't be able to set to her new work until this schoolyear fihishes. She has not yet made a final desision so hasn't discussed details of her new job with a governor.
      
      It is a reminder that members of Zhivoy Gorog are protesting against construction of Okhta-Centre, which would spoil the historical sights of the city. UNESCO has the same opinion and would exclude St. Petersburg from its World Heritage List, if Okhta-Centre is constructed.
