Leningrad region: the wall of the old fortress Koporye collapsed

In the Leningrad Region, part of the wall of the Koporskaya fortress laid in the 13th century collapsed. The head of the Koporsky settlement Dmitry Kuchinsky said that the wall collapsed due to bad weather. “Only a monument of fortification architecture and the protective structure itself were injured,” the Kuchinsky site 47Channel.ru quotes the words of Kuchinsky.

The head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, demanded to "carefully understand" the reasons for the collapse of the building. This was reported by the press service of the SK.

The head of the Committee on Culture of the Leningrad Region, Vladimir Tsoi, called the collapse of brickwork by a predictable event. According to him, in 2020, officials were supposed to show a project for the reconstruction of the fortress, and a year later restoration should begin.

According to official figures, 19.7 million rubles were spent on the restoration of the Koporskaya fortress from the budget of the Leningrad Region. Another 18.2 million was allocated for an archaeological examination of the fortress. Another contract related to work in the Koporskaya fortress cost the budget of the Leningrad region 15.4 million rubles.
