Earlier, an employee of the Krasny Sever newspaper, Artyom Vilovatykh, said that a resident of St. Petersburg, a lawyer by training, filed a lawsuit against Santa Claus from Veliky Ustyug, because "he has not fulfilled his wishes for 23 years."

Troitskaya called for Mirzoyev to be brought for a fictitious claim, and also stated that his actions were "an insult to the feelings of believers in Santa Claus."

“It is not the first time that he has misled the media with his claims, which no one accepts,” RIA Novosti quotes the lawyer.

During a press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about his readiness to act as a lawyer for Santa Claus, who was "sued" by a resident of St. Petersburg
