In January 2004, the regional public fund "In Memory of Palmniken" and the Kaliningrad Jewish community appealed to the governor of the Kaliningrad region, Vladimir Yegorov, with a request to cancel the decision to build an entertainment complex at the site of the mass execution of Jews.

According to vice-governor Oleg Shlyk, he visited Yantarny and discussed the situation with the mayor of the village, Igor Kazakov. The vice-governor ordered the head of the local administration to cancel the decision to allocate the site on which the burial is located. What was done January 20, 2004

The executive director of the international society "Memorial" stated that the fund's employees were outraged by what had happened: "It's good that the conflict has now been settled. But even the very possibility that people could arrange a recreation and entertainment area on the site of the tragedy is outrageous. First of all, the responsibility lies with the administration district, which allowed such actions. It is impossible to trample on the past, this will throw us back to the Soviet era. The era of oblivion . "
