The Derbent City Court recognized the construction of the museum complex "Tower of Seven Legends" in a specially protected zone near the famous Naryn-Kala fortress and decided to stop all work. In the city, the complex is unofficially known as the Putin's House, regional publications say.
According to Eadaily , citing materials from the court, in March 2016, Naryn-Kala conducted earthwork for the construction of the tower, and by June the workers began the construction of the first main floor of the building. Meanwhile, in May, the Derbent Prosecutor's Office, after checking at the construction site, issued an order to the city court on the initiation of an administrative case against the contractor. As the prosecutor's office established, the contractor does not have a building permit.
The only document that the builders of the illegal facility has is the decision of the Derbent City Hall of May 4, Eadaily notes. However, he was issued with violations of urban planning legislation, the court established. Plot of 668 square meters. m, where the construction of the "Tower of the Seven Legends" began, in the text of the resolution of the city hall is designated as the territory of the Gorka Garden partnership. But, according to the General Plan of the city, this site is included in a specially protected area belonging to the fortress, which is located under the patronage of UNESCO.
As for the origin of the unofficial name of the object (“Putin’s House”), it is explained by the information that the general contractor of construction at the first stages of work distributed - he said that the mansion for the rest of the Russian Federation will be built in the Naryn Cala. At the same time, surrounded by the contractor, they referred to the failed visit by Vladimir Putin to the 2000th anniversary of Derbent in 2015-supposedly due to the fact that the city could not find a worthy and safe residential object for the head of state.
The general contractor of the construction is a resident of Derbent Fatula Fatullaev, a member of the Public Chamber of the Derbent District, and in Soviet times - a large party worker of the Derbent District Committee of the CPSU. Meanwhile, the publication of RIA "Derbent" indicates that the head of Dagestan Ramazan Abdulatipov is behind the construction of an illegal object now recognized as illegal object. "At the edge of the forest behind the fortress, we plan to build a" tower of seven legends ", now we are looking for sources of financing and investors. It will become another attraction of the city," Abdulatipov said in an interview with TASS.
It is worth clarifying that the name "Putin's House", obviously, appeared as an analogy with the Derbent "house of Peter I".
