In mid-July, "Arhnadzor sent a letter to Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov and the chairman of the Cultural Heritage Committee Valery Shevchuk. Advocates of historic Moscow noted that building an urban estate partially located within the joint security area historical and cultural monuments, and new construction in these zones is prohibited. Arhnadzorovtsy required to cancel an order to demolish, renovate buildings and estates to include them in the planning hotel complex (since the project involves only "applicative overlay" copies of the two estates facades on the hotel). At the same time appeal to the authorities of activists began picketing at Bakhrushin.
July 21 were the first attempts demolition, which were prevented by the defenders of the estate. However, over the weekend, July 24-25, to save the historic buildings could not. Pickets have not helped, since the police took the side of the investor - the owner of the building. Despite the protests gathered volunteers to buildings drove heavy construction equipment. As a result, by mid-day Sunday the main house and three-storey building were destroyed almost completely, after which the restoration of the estate has lost all meaning. In the heaps of construction waste specialists have seen fragments of the architectural elements that the developer had promised to keep - for example, an old cast-iron staircase.
"Arhnadzor" drew attention to the fact that the demolition was carried out before the prosecutor's office has been checking its legality (recall exactly appeal to the prosecutor's office has suspended the destruction of buildings in Kadashi). His decision to demolish was to make and another body - Moskomnaslediye. However, notes "Arhnadzor" if "the demolition of the main house vandals camouflage applications rejected, then the destruction of three-storey building is not a cover" nothing "because the building was" under the protection of pending applications Moskomnaslediye. " Head of Committee Valery Shevchuk, at the time of demolition of buildings on the link did not come out, but now community activists have decided to seek his resignation.
Subsequently, the authorities took the side of the owner. Prefect of the CAO Alexei Alexandrov said that all the necessary documents for the demolition of the investor are available. Moskomnaslediye Deputy Chairman Aleksei Emelianov said that based on the results of the state historical and cultural examination, it was decided not to refer the estate of the monuments of history and culture.
Expert edition "Russian real estate" noted that, formally, the authorities are right, and told me that usually happens in such cases. "At first, historic building becomes a" detected an object of cultural heritage. "You can rent out, but it is caused by very stringent conditions on the replanning and repair in general. So tight that even the cheapest rent becomes unprofitable. One company still decided to rent. "After that, interest in the administration to protect the house ... weakening sharply Commission Moskomnaslediye, 'weighing the pros and cons', simply denies to one identified object to register as a monument of architecture. And it turns out that a good company, which has taken a house for rent" at a loss 'terribly lucky: it has a preferential right to the reconstruction of the building or its demolition and construction in this part of the new building. " The specialist called this development "ordinary capital scheme.
One of the leaders Arhnadzora "moskvoved Rustam Rahmatullin raised the question of a false understanding of the term" regeneration "in Moscow. According to him, to carry today, and begin to rebuild tomorrow - it is not regeneration. As stated Rahmatullin, must restore what was lost is not a result of the actions themselves "restorers", and any drift in the joint security area must be excluded.
For the estate Alexeyev has entered the Public Chamber: a deliberative body to restore the demolished building. However, the prospects of this requirement is very vague. Perhaps it can be stated: the manor, the starting point for creating a fire which began in 1812, the year 2010-the first experience could not, and without any fire. Such times.
