What in Odessa?

"dead soul "...
Repair of the building where Gogol lived permanently postponed, but a monument to all the question. In honor of its 200 th anniversary of the great man of letters received only a tiny sculpture in the garden of the Literature Museum.
I heard that allocate public funds to repair the house of the writer of the same name by the street no one is going. And all because he was living - 80%of apartments bought by a private person, which should make all necessary work.
It's a shame when the city holds in such a state of neglect such important objects not only architecture and history.
Meanwhile, in front of Odessa house quickly grow old, because the residents resettled facade of the wing, no one cares about heating in winter, about fixing the roof that flows in the old ceiling molding, on the dance floor, destroyed the rats ...
Art critics like to point out that, although street Gogol small - only some two quarters, but in an architectural sense, unusually capacious: it contains elements of Romanesque and Gothic architecture, Renaissance, Classicism.
A week ago, walking past the house where Gogol lived, I saw on the pavement fallen fragments of stucco facade. I could not not take the memory of one of these tiny pieces of the history of my beloved city (last photo). After the unfortunate house can disappear at any time by repeating the tragic fate of the House Russova.
