The town of Volosovo, near St Petersburg, is booming. Not the economy – it’s the loudspeakers.
Like many towns in Russia, Volosovo has them installed on tall poles that line the main street. Traditionally they are used for playing patriotic music during national holidays. Now, though, they have a different purpose.
“Two volunteer artillery battalions are being formed. We invite men from 18 to 60 years old to join,” the speakers blare out.
