On September 2, 2013, unknown people set up a 10-meter Orthodox cross at the hippodrome of Perm. The cross was installed in the corner of the show jumping fields.
The administration of the hippodrome regarded the incident as hooliganism and contacted the police.
The owners of the hippodrome intend to build up its territory, and move the hippodrome to another place. Horse owners are unhappy with this prospect.
