The lands belonging to the Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K. A. Timiryazev will be given for development. According to Gazeta.ru, this was reported in the press service of the Federal Fund for Housing Construction.
"By the decision of the Government Commission for the development of housing construction and the evaluation of the efficiency of the use of land plots, the fund transferred land plots of the Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev with a total area of 101 hectares. The involvement of land in the revolution was approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia," the press service said.
The organization emphasized that the Timiryazevo Academy compensates for losses from land transfer, allocating land for free for the creation of a housing and construction cooperative for employees of the Academy. Alternative land plots will also be provided to the university to conduct experimental facilities and organize the educational process from lands located in ecologically clean areas in the territory of New Moscow and the Moscow Region. "
One of the reasons for the transfer of land was the lack of funds in the budget of Russia for the development of this university, a source in the government , familiar with the circumstances of the decision on development.
"This Academy is funded by the state. But it does not have money for the academy now. Therefore, assets, in this case, the land that the university uses inefficiently will be withdrawn from its submission and then built up. And the money will go to the development of the Timiryazev Academy," the source said.
Meanwhile, according to the dean of the faculty of agronomy and biotechnology of the Academy Alexander Solovyov, the transfer of land is illegal, since the presidential decree of 2008 was included in the state list of particularly valuable objects of cultural heritage.
Soloviev emphasized that after the alienation at the Academy of the fields of the ICSH, he will not be able to carry out the normal training of specialists-agronomists, agricultural chemists, fruiters and livestock specialists. "The relevant faculties will simply have to be closed. Moreover, the district’s ecosystem will be irreparable damage. The fact is that there is a complex groundwater system that connects water bodies at VDNH, the Timiryazev Academy and the Likhoborka River. This is an entire underground reservoir. And if it is not there, then the forest adjacent to the Academy, and therefore, means that it will suffer There will no longer be many animals rare for Moscow in this city, ”the scientist is sure.
Now students and university teachers are collecting signatures against the development of fields, trying to attract residents of the surrounding houses to their side, since they will also suffer in the event of the development of the territory.
