Bots are fighting against the alley

The reluctance of officials in St. Petersburg to perpetuate the memory of the liquidators of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant resulting in a serious conflict

In April 2019, Governor Alexander Beglov agreed to make the main dominant of the park named after Sakharov alley of memory and a thematic platform dedicated to the liquidators of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. The park has already erected the world bell (a monument donated by St. Petersburg by the world of the world from Nagasaki in 1988 and dedicated to the victims of nuclear bombing in August 1945) and a monument to the victims of radiation accidents and disasters. The Chernobyls proposed connecting two monuments into a single complex of the memory of the memory to liquidators.

“The very idea of ​​the alley of memory is by no means new,” says Academician Raili Nayda, chairman of the Union Chernobyl organization. -In 2015, a mortgage stone was installed there, and in 2016 young trees were planted for the future alley. Until 2019, officials simply did not reach their hands not only to the alley, but also to the park. Already the residents of the district began to complain that the park was highly flooded, as a result of which trees and shrubs die. Since the park still needed to be reorganized, Beglov ordered that the improvement committee develop a project taking into account the opinions of Chernobyls.

The letter, which the improvement committee sent to the editorial office of Novaya after the publication, it is said that they did not receive any money. They should have entered the accounts of a contracting organization that would recover Sakharov Park after the full approval of the project. However, according to Chernobyl, the committee in every possible way delayed the approval of the project.

“There is no talk of any sabotage of the order of the governor,” said Oksana Guseva, deputy chairman of the new -improved committee on the improvement of the new, ”newly. - In 2019, we announced a competition for the development of the Park Re -Assistance Project. Money for the development of a concept and project was allocated from the saved committee in 2019. The amount of the tender was more than 29 million rubles. The smallest price - 14.5 million - proposed the state -owned enterprise Roslesinford. The architectural bureau "Arkhkompleks" interacted with them on the basis of a subcontract, and we completely calculated with them. "

Guseva also said that

The memory of the memory alley has become a stumbling block is only a small part of the park. The recovery requires all 26 hectares of the territory. And the development of a memorial complex takes less than 5%.

“There is an alley of 12 meters wide, but they want to have more greenery and birds to sing,” says Guseva. - And besides, the Committee on Urban Planning and Architecture (KGA) banned the draft Chernobyl. But the project that does not provide a huge amphitheater and a stone alley approved. Personally, I am entirely in order to perpetuate the memory of the Chernobyls. But if KGA does not approve, then what can we do? We just turned out to be between two lights. ”

However, in the response to the official request of the “new” in KGA, we read: “Given the scale of the alleged thematic improvement of Sakharov Park and the significance of proposals for the formation of a comfortable urban environment as part of a working meeting with representatives of the committee ( KGA. - Ed. ) And the improvement committee on the feasibility of the submitted landscaping project to consider the Urban Planning Council under the Government of the Government St. Petersburg. Further, the improvement committee of St. Petersburg submitted an updated project, which was agreed ... "

That is, KGA did not forbid anything, but simply proposed to discuss the project in more detail. What was not done. The second project, which the improvement committee submitted to the KGA, did not provide for the “scale of thematic improvement”, and therefore was agreed.

“We did not offer a project to arrange an alley that will be completely from the tile,” Nayda said New ”. - The architectural bureau "Arkhkompleks" developed an option taking into account the prevailing pedestrian paths. The alley was supposed to be bilateral, where flower beds and trees were placed in the middle. And the thematic platform in the final version is far from as monumental as some media are now shown. What got into the press was taken by the improvement committee not even from the project, but simply from sketches. For the only purpose - to set up Petersburgers against our project. All that we want is to perpetuate the memory of those who died in order to curb radiation and allow others to live. ”

Oksana Gusev is mistaken about the fact that most Petersburgers are against the memory of the memory.

“The arrangement of the alley of memory to Chernobyls is a great idea that most residents of the Kalininsky district supported,” said Yulia Lebedinova, press secretary of the district administration. “Such an alley could play a huge role in the patriotic education of youth.”

According to Lebedinova, an attempt to vote for the project of the Park Re -equipment on the administration page on the VKontakte social network turned into the attack of clones and bots and did not reveal the opinion of the residents of the district. Voting intends to continue at other sites. In addition, KGA informed Novye that “in connection with the increased interest of the city residents in the arrangement of the park named after Sakharov, the relevant executive authorities are planned to hold a meeting in the near future for additional consideration of the landscaping project and its clarification. ”

And this means that the battle for the alley will continue.
