Pavlensky was sued for 481,461 rubles

On June 3, the Meshchansky Court of Moscow continues the trial on the charge of Pyotr Pavlensky of setting fire to the door on Lubyanskaya Square. At the last meeting, the experts invited to the court could not explain to judge Elena Gudoshnikova what the historical value of the FSB door, which Pavlensky set on fire, is.

The injured party in the case of arson filed a civil suit against performance artist Pyotr Pavlensky for 481,461 rubles and 83 kopecks - the reconstruction of the door is estimated at this amount. It is reported by Mediazona.

At the same time, according to RAPSI with reference to the General Director of the Restoration Center. Architecture, production, training” (RTs APO) Alexander Popov, the door is not a historical value.

In 2008 the door of the building was replaced and restored. Yes, it looks like the original door, but it is not of historical value, just as the door is not protected. The Decree of the Government of Moscow dated September 7, 2015 refers only to the protection of the facade of the building, but not the door. So it is not of historical value.

The next meeting is scheduled for June 6, 11:30.

On the night of November 9, 2015, in Moscow, performance artist Pyotr Pavlensky held a performance called "The Threat": he set fire to the door to the FSB building on Lubyanka, after which he surrendered to the police without resistance. Now the artist is under arrest on charges of damaging a cultural heritage site. The next preliminary hearing is set for May 4.
