Omsk: The form of protest against the temple, the ex-head called "the whim of the rich"

Omsk residents published an open appeal to the ex-governor Leonid Polezhaev, who was engaged in the restoration of the St. Ilyinsky Cathedral, with a request to defeat the park at this place. The governor said that it is impossible to compare the situation with the protest in Yekaterinburg, since the “whim of the rich” was the reason for the conflict there.

The authors of the appeal invited Polezhaev to improve the green zone by the lake in the area of Dianova Street, where the construction of the cathedral is planned, instead of "attempts to spotly development of squares in the city center." Residents of Omsk said that such a gift would be better than "another temple, which, good in Omsk."

The ex-governor and head of the Spiritual Heritage Foundation in response said that the scandal in Yekaterinburg on the construction of the temple cannot be compared with the idea of reconstruction of the Church of the Holy Elijah of the Prophet in Omsk. In his opinion, in Yekaterinburg, a protest against the construction of the temple occurred due to the fact that "rich people realize their whim, erecting the Cathedral of St. Catherine and a whole complex in the city square."

In Omsk, in his opinion, the situation is different, since "there is a historical place of the cathedral, blown up in the 20s." "If you are already such zealots of faith, revive the cathedral on the foundations of the lost temple, where it has seen three centuries - the eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth. It is necessary to calmly explain to the residents of the city the difference between the interests of the group of rich people who fulfill their whims in Yekaterinburg and the desire of the inhabitants of Omsk to return to their place the lost historical monument, without destroying the existing city Spaces, ”said the ex-governor.
