For Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov, a temple complex is built in the suburbs-with an underground VIP-sclep. For this, the forest was cut down in memory of veterans of the Great Patriotic War

The main thing from the investigation of the project "System"

The construction of the temple complex of the Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary with an underground necropolis and a helicopter platform, which has been created for several years in the Moscow Region Mytishchi near the elite village "Pirogovo", may be associated with the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov. This is stated in the material of the "System" - the investigative project "Radio Liberty" and "Present Time".

Manturov acquired the first section in Pirogovo in 2008 - shortly after he became Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade. For several years, the official of the official became the main landowner in the village. "System" estimates the entire real estate of the Manturov family in Pirogovo at 10 billion rubles.

In the summer of 2020, information appeared that it was planned to build a temple complex near Pirogovo. According to local residents, one of the main interests of the project is Denis Manturov. According to the contractor who participated in the construction site, the official “quite deservedly” is considered the initiator of the construction of the temple. The general designer of the complex and the project manager was architect Andrei Anisimov, one of the contractors said. According to him, the customer asked to take as a basis the Peter and Paul Church of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Czech city of Karlovy Vara.

At the same time, the temple, which is associated with Manturov, has its own feature. The contractor told reporters that the basement of the temple was taken to "the commission of funeral services." The interlocutors of the “system” call this a full -fledged “lower temple with tombs” for trustees. “As in necropolis under Rome with the tombs of the first Christians,” says one of the contractors.

Journalists found sketches of VIP-Splepa on the website of the Architectural Bureau "PROVRAM", which Anisimov attracted to the design of the temple. A corridor leads to the main hall of the crypt, which symbolizes the transition from “earthly life to eternal”, marble slabs are also designed there, on which the names of the dead should be removed.

After the start of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Anisimov left for Montenegro, he opposed the Russian invasion. After that, the customers of the temple tore all the relationship with him. At the same time, the former team of the architect was preserved in a row for construction.

They decided to build the temple in the Forest Park near Pirogovo. Back in 2017, a plot with a direct access to the road was cleared from the trees, then the forest was cut down on another section near the village. In the same year, an equestrian complex for residents of an elite village began to build in the second site. At the same time, in 2018, on a plot cleared for the temple, residents dropped out a new forest - in memory of the veterans of the Great Patriotic War as part of the patriotic campaign “Forest of Victory”. However, a year later, most of the landings were destroyed.

The remnants of the new forest were destroyed in 2020, then the locals noticed this. It turned out that the authorities of the Moscow Region authorized the cutting. In August 2020, the project of the temple complex was agreed, in October - a building permit was issued, and in the spring of 2021 heavy equipment was brought there and began construction.

The formal initiator of the construction of the temple complex was the community of Valentine Krikot, the rector of the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk church located nearby. In 2019, the authorities of the Moscow Region transferred the arrival of the crycotes six hectares of forest near Pirogov. He himself said that the new temple was necessary, since the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk temple stopped accommodating all believers. The “system” notes that during the construction of the Mikhailo-Arkhangelsk church and the Sunday school, with it, the crycot did not receive the necessary permits, so they were considered a self-building and were at risk of demolition. After the construction of the new temple began, the Arbitration Court of the Moscow Region legalized the temple and school of a crycota.

In June 2022, rumors appeared that the Church of the Temple was going to visit the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin. It is known that he and Manturov came to the decorative painting factory in the village of Zhostovo, which is located near Pirogovo. Whether the head of government traveled to the construction site is unknown.

Locals claim that Manturov’s mother saw the mother in the temple. The Deputy Prime Minister himself could not notice the interlocutors of the “system”. “Some [limousines]“ aurous ”came who were in them-I do not know. Workers [at such moments] asked to go dinner, ”says one of the construction contractors.
