The coordinator of the “Last Address” movement in Arkhangelsk will be tried for the sign on the house

In Arkhangelsk, an administrative protocol was drawn up against the coordinator of the Last Address movement, Dmitry Kozlov, under Art. 7.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (violation of the law on the protection of cultural heritage). This was reported by the creator of the "Last Address" Sergei Parkhomenko.

"The Last Address" is an initiative designed to perpetuate the memory of people repressed in Soviet times. To this end, the activists of the initiative install small plaques on the walls of the houses where people lived before their arrest. Kozlov installed a sign on the house number 35 on Serafimovicha Street, where in 1937 Ignaty Bezsonov, a cable factory locksmith, was arrested for "systematic counter-revolutionary agitation". In 1938 he was shot.

The reason for the administrative case was that Kozlov, in the notice about the installation of the tablet, filed with the city department for the protection of monuments, did not indicate exactly which tool he would use.

The house, on the wall of which the activist attached a sign, was recognized as emergency and determined for demolition. According to Parkhomenko, now the residents of the house are being resettled and the building will be demolished by the end of the year.
