Residents of Krasnoyarsk protest against the construction of an Orthodox church on Strelka

Residents of Krasnoyarsk are protesting against the construction of an Orthodox church on Strelka - between the Cable-stayed bridge and the Krasnoyarsk museum center.

On March 29, 2017, it became known that residents of Krasnoyarsk were protesting against construction of an Orthodox church on the Strelka - between the Vantov bridge and Krasnoyarsk museum centre.

It should be noted that the residents are not so much against the temple as for waterfront conservation.

“I am against the temple on Strelka. I will write sign and go to protests. Strongly against any buildings on embankment. Peter fights for himself, saves Tomsk, can't Krasnoyarsk citizens be able to defend the only piece by the water in the center of the city, ” protesters say. “ The embankment should belong to the people, not ROC " .

The land for the construction of the church has already been allocated. Expenses for the construction of the temple, according to the estimates of the local metropolitan, will amount to about a billion rubles.
