Funeral Moscow

[Тютчев]

The new Master Plan of Moscow threatened total destruction of the city. The results achieved are impressive, too - since the beginning of the 90 destroyed more than 700 historic buildings. Grigory Revzin, Boris Pasternak, Julia Mezentseva and seven other experts Svetlana told Reuters that already happened and what can happen

Alexander Mozhayev, editor of the site "Arhnadzor»:

"One of the most incredible homes in the old Moscow, the palace Mason Novikova, 30 years was abandoned. As a result, the Office for Protection of Monuments authorized the demolition and construction of the replica. Under the guise of the only possible way to preserve the monument. In the past year lost the oldest wooden house in the city of Frunze Street, built in the early XVIII century. There was "replaced by a restorative material. We are talking about the destruction of monuments formally agreed at the highest level.

Ten years ago, when the demolition went to Moscow in an avalanche, it became clear that now the same could happen with any of the historic city of Russia, and this is really going on. If Moscow can, why can not others? In addition, for no one was punished - in Moscow, there is no such practices. However, the recent Heritage Committee for once ever managed to penalize those responsible for the demolition of a protected home for Rusakovskaya Street - 49 thousand rubles. pay the fine and will build a "boutique hotel in the classical style for people with high social status" . What happens with the Children's World "? Five years ago, the building took on the state protection, and then some visiting committee quietly corrects the so-called object of protection, removing from it not only interiors but also the materials of construction of walls. This is also difficult to find logic: give up the legendary shop, one of the symbols of the city, on the typical plastic supermarket. But investors require immediate return of the money invested, but no one dares invest in the future, no one thinks of as a commodity. Although it often happens that it's not the greed, and savagery in the unit. Once I talked with the man who directed the demolition of the former police station on Tver Boulevard. House with a rich history, "birthplace of Russian spying", inside - Chamber of XVII century. First, the developer was allowed to disassemble the later additions. They started doing this, not strengthen the bulk of it, of course, cracked. "Thy mother, - they say - the house-then we cracked!" Then they were allowed to make out even half, then another half of the half as if she collapsed. In general, there remained only a tiny amount of boyars vaults and trims. We tried to raise the noise, and then contacted by the same developer. In the office, invited the coffee poured, so polite. "What are you - said - are nervous, that we have such a scientific restoration: we will analyze it, and then folded back out of the same bricks! You are here when the last time abroad were? And I have visited 38 countries and tell you that this is totally normal European practice ". A week later, the house cleaned sryli bulldozer, we do not even measure the properly managed. Incidentally, this is the site foreman uttered the phrase which became famous: «Dismantling drift is not».
