But and songs do not burn.
They hover in the air.
What they do hurt --
But they are stronger.
Bulat Okudzhava

Ten years went on the battle for the Cultural Center - The House on Arbat Bulat Okudzhava.
At the cost of thousands of overcoming obstacles and humiliations room in the old Arbat was finally received - Plotnikov Pereulok, 21, 1-st entrance - almost directly behind the monument Bulat.
Retrieved on lease for 5 years.
Concrete bag - no electricity, water and sanitation.
Concept was developed a unique cultural center, but the necessary repairs for a long time did not start - there was no money. Two years ago, a surprising nowadays the generous sponsorship deal moved, and almost half of the space was renovated. But it suffered a crisis, and everything fell.
Five-year term of the lease ends soon, and is in the process of re-registration is a long term, which naturally enables us to bring to the project and the investors and sponsors.
But for rent - 92,000 rubles, and utilities 90,000 per month to pay today, in fact proved to be "unreliable payer, you can lose everything - the place some gold, much to ...
Meanwhile, the Center did not open, and can not provide itself - money is not a penny, and even staff (7 persons) - unpaid leave already 5 months.
In complete despair appeal to anyone who can help us to hold two or three months required for re-registration of the lease.
Maybe Lady Luck will smile all the same and help complete the creation of this unique place in the city and country, will help return the "Arbat exile" in his native Arbat. After all, this - the last chance, the other will be gone.
