In respect of the Chief Directorate of State Protection of Cultural Heritage Committee of Novgorod region Denis Bezrukov, who tried to resist the construction near St. George’s Monastery near Novgorod the Great, is “official proceedings.” As the correspondent BakuToday, about that today, July 14, said the governor of the Novgorod area Sergey Mitin, at a seminar for media executives in the region.
The situation with the building on St. George Mitin described as an example of “improper delivery of information.” “Our people sometimes completely incomprehensible ideas about what is happening, which can lead to catastrophic consequences,” – said the governor.
He said that he gave the order to stop construction on St. George’s, and now there are processes suspended pending clarification of the reasons. “We find out the reasons and discovered strange things,” – said Sergey Mitin. Thus, according to the head region, on St. George “was a violation of the law.”
“Dear employee administration, Head of Bezrukov, on its letterhead, which he has no right to have usurped the power of the regional executive body – the Committee on Culture – writes that” perhaps in the new draft security zones prohibit building here. “Now is a service proceedings. And well, if there are no corrupt element – God forbid, that for this money to pay more “, – said Governor of the Novgorod region.
He also read out to journalists opinion on the possible use of land on St. George’s, prepared by the deputy chief engineer of the Museum of Oriental Art Mikhail Amosov. “Advocates say the building on St. George’s nothing you can not, because it is in the buffer zone. But an independent expert who does not have any relation to Novgorod, wrote,” I consider it necessary to note that in the St. George’s Monastery, directly bordering the leased plot is intense housing in unseasoned architectural style. There are structures built in the Gothic Revival style of the castle up to 10 meters, there are residential buildings, standing in the middle of the field. Thus, a single landscape historically have not. “In the end, he writes that” the plot can be used as stated in the sales contract terms for construction of housing “,” – told reporters the governor of Novgorod.
“But I have to support the defenders of the natural landscape and take a decision to ban the construction of the well-known companies in the country. Meanwhile, private owners to lawfully built near clumsy structure, which only come into their head. And I deny the governor can not,” – Mitin said. He also said that the same company – Noncommercial Partnership “Building an industry consortium” Energy “(its subsidiary OOO “Grand-M” won a tender to lease the land on St. George’s – BakuToday ) – Intended to build in the Novgorod region a major house-building capacity of 200 thousand square meters of housing, however, faced with resistance in the project to build a cottage settlement, the investor can completely withdraw from the region. Mitin, called the project the cottage settlement “gorgeous” and said that it will demonstrate at the meeting of the advisory board on July 18, which will be devoted to discussion of the problem.
As previously reported BakuToday, historians and archaeologists, led by the Novgorod society of antiquity lovers oppose a land development area of 18.7 hectares, located in the Novgorod region in Rakomskogo rural settlement near the village of Raschep where OOO “Grand-M” plan to build 95 houses. According to historians, this place is a unique historic landscape, offering views of the panorama of St. George’s Monastery – the monument that is included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Historians and archeologists argue that the disputed area is part of the buffer zone of the monastery – its design is developed Ltd. “Fast Restoration Partnership” (JSC “March”) under contract with the Ministry of Culture, but now scientists say, “put on the shelf by the letter Governor Novgorod region “. Officials link the cadastral passport of land, in which the presence on it of protected areas does not appear, as previously adopted by the security documents (including the project buffer zone “Novgorod”, approved by the Novgorod Regional Duma) do not take into account, since they were not approved by the Ministry of Culture.
We also recall that in March 2011, Sergei Mitin said publicly about the need to “change” a development project of protected areas to the south of Novgorod. “The Ministry of Culture is preparing a draft protected area in the direction of St. George’s Monastery, which is almost, in my opinion, will not contribute to the development of the city in that direction,” – said the governor. He said that “it is necessary to set the task to alter the buffer zone at the Ministry of Culture in the direction of St. George’s Monastery” in the first half of 2011 and instructed its officials to the implementation of the regional administration.
