The Museum of Outstanding Figures of Ukrainian Culture is threatened by the construction of the Stolar-Medvedchuk high-rise

The occupiers are gradually destroying the Lesya Ukrainka Museum in Yalta. Meanwhile, in Kyiv, neither the courts nor the Kiev City Council can in any way prevent plans to build a high-rise building near the Museum of Prominent Ukrainians by a company associated with Stolar and Medvedchuk.

In fact, the Restin company received all rights to the site through the court. And then the City Council tacitly agreed on this.

After Medvedchuk’s persona became completely toxic, and Stolar somehow fell out of favor with Ermak, the issue of terminating the lease was brought up for consideration by the City Council several times. But either the Servants of the People forgot where their fingers were, or the EU. Then UDAR had a split personality.

The high-rise should be built close to the house where Saksagansky lived. But that's not all. This high-rise building will simply spoil the landscape of the estate development, which makes up the Museum of Outstanding Figures of Ukrainian Culture. All that can be “built” there is a garden to restore the atmosphere of life of the Kosachs, Staritskys, Lysenkos.

Last December, the Supreme Court rejected Restin's claims to the Ministry of Culture to give them permission to build an apart-hotel. But this was only a partial victory, because the review was returned to the first instance.

In fact, the Supreme Court could have referred the case to the Grand Chamber in order to formulate a position on the impossibility of obtaining approvals through tacit consent. Because this is a permitting procedure. These are sensitive objects. And each monument has individual security features.

The Office of the Prosecutor General also appealed to the NAPC, because such decisions are a corruption scheme - to obtain approvals through the court.

But no. If you make such a decision, then so many moneyed guys will go around the world...

Therefore, now the case is in the first instance - the Kiev Regional Administrative Court.

Representatives of the Kyiv authorities were in no hurry to go to court. Well, because our mayor is in charge of park and bridge architecture, and not all these monuments of yours... they just make me nervous...

By the way, there is a nuance in the case with the reference plan. Protected zones of monuments were established back in the 80s. The city council gave official confirmation that the decisions were in effect. However, they were strangely not included in the reference plan

Strange, isn't it? Although... no!

And yet, unexpectedly, about Lybid. Not because they want to bury it under the road to the Aliyev shopping center.

Even more interesting. This unfortunate Lybid is already all underground. And it also flows near the museum.

“From a geomorphological point of view, the territory of the Museum belongs to the first floodplain left bank terrace of the river. Lybid and has a slope in the south-west direction. The natural topography of the territory was partially changed by strengthening with fill soils. The geological structure of the territory involves Quaternary sediments (deluvial, alluvial sandy-clayey), which lie on the eroded surface of Paleogene rocks (deposits of the Kharkov formation, silts and marly clays of the Kyiv formation).

The site on which construction is planned is planned in an area with significant elevation differences of 123.8 to 133 m,” says the conclusions of Ekaterina Derevskaya.

“Taking into account the results of an examination of the Museum building on its technical condition, which is extremely unsatisfactory, as well as taking into account their age, condition, and the structural elements from which they are made, the following can be stated.

The Museum building is extremely sensitive to any changes in the environment, humidity and vibrations, therefore, carrying out preparatory and construction work in close proximity to the Museum territory poses an irreparable threat to the mentioned monuments,” notes the professor, Doctor of Geological Sciences.

But what the hell is geology? What kind of soil erosion? What artists? Here people lose the opportunity to make money.
