To watch a football (soccer) match at Stadium 'Petrovsky' you need to pass through three lines of militsia (municipal police) officers. Militsia officers wear combat-style woodland-colored jackets and black shiny helmets.

First line must avoid overcrowding at the next lines. Second line performs personal control of spectators (alcohol drinks, petards are prohibited). The second line stands at the start of the bridge. The bridge joins Petrovsky island with Petrogradsky island and cross over the Zhdanovka river. The last line performs ticket control.

Presence of this artifical border influences persons visible in the foreground. In my opinion, this couple awaits someone else. Running youngster is looking for extra ticket or free of charge invitation. The men near the stone parapet are going to leave this sunny place: one of them ties up his shoelace, the other man just finished drinking his can of beer.
