Petersburg poet Igor Skudarnov, who is a member of the writers of Russia, became the best carriage driver in the Northern capital. In 2017, Igor became the silver medalist of the professional skill competition. In 2019, he was a finalist of the Street Poetry competition and his poems decorated a stop at the corner of Kronverksky and Kamennoostrovsky avenues. 2021 brought him first place among the carriages of St. Petersburg.
As told in the GET, the poet Igor Skudarnov has been driving trams for six years. He tried his hand at the competition three times. Preparing for the latter, I trained in the park before and after work.
“First place! I can’t believe it yet, really – Igor shared his first emotions after the announcement of the results. – I didn’t expect it at all! Although I wanted to, I really wanted to, I had been going to him for many years. I think it was possible due to perseverance. Perseverance and training. “
By the way, the profession of a driver occupies a prominent place in Skudarny’s poems. Here is just one of his works (the one that graced the stop): “Our urban electric transport connects people and spaces. As they say, we are not amateurs…. The cultural capital is a cultural driver! There will be no twists and turns with us. Kind people, we are on the way! “
The second place in the competition of carriage drivers went to Mikhail Glukhanyuk, third – Andrey Krementiev… Both finalists took part in a professional competition for the first time.
