Sobyanin supported the idea of ​​eating a monument to Prince Vladimir at the Kremlin

Today, July 23, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin spoke out in favor of the installation of the monument to Prince Vladimir on Borovitskaya Square near the Kremlin.

“It seems to me that the most interesting place is still a place near the Borovitsky Gate,” said Sobyanin on the air of the Moscow Radio Says . - There is such a half -forgotten, unheated site. There can be a improvement, it seems to me that the monument there fits very well there. ”

At the same time, the mayor considers it “good” all three options proposed by the Russian military-historical society (RVIO) to install the monument to Prince Vladimir,-Zaryadye, Lubyanka and Borovitskaya Square.

Sobyanin also said that he would “focus on the opinion of citizens” and was going to conduct a survey about the place of installation of the monument in the “Active Citizen” app.

City defenders from the Archnadzor movement consider all three options selected by RVIOs unsuccessful.
