The gates of the Russian North have become a forgang*

      Probably because it is preferable for law enforcement agencies to observe administrative pirouettes and somersaults than to re-read the Criminal Code in order to determine the article, and preferably articles that provide penalties for "squandering the budget" or "destroying cultural heritage."

      Recall that back in September last year Newsler.ru in fact, he predicted the imminent and sad end of the rotunda, which was being renovated in the style of "Kostroma neo-modernism." When the basswood supporting columns were replaced with concrete collapsing pillars, the obvious flaws and cracks of which were filled with foam and paint. And they tried to give nobility to the look with coniferous board upholstery.

      Despite the fact that the coastal rotunda, the author of which was Alexander Timofeev, who served as Vyatka provincial architect in 1832-1839, worthily stood on the linden pillars for almost two hundred years. But the Gates of the Russian North, like the oak Kostroma new Model, were dismantled in less than 200 days, if you count from the day they were installed. Which, since October last year, can also be attributed to Newsler.ru-foresight, because our forecasts did not refer to the wind rose, winter heat, slush and icing of the airplane type.

      And, according to Vyacheslav Simakov, the head of the city administration, the simultaneous destruction of the art object and cultural and historical heritage is a consequence of radically changed weather conditions, which literally dissolved both the concrete of the rotunda and the oak lining of the Gate. So Vyacheslav Nikolaevich literally predicted a close meteorological "Armageddon" for the residents of Vyatka, because the rotunda, which is a kilometer from the already demolished Gates, could not break the misfortunes in the form of cold, thunderstorms and rains from frogs for 200 years.

      If there is no cultural exorcism

      By the way, if we exclude the parable of weather anomalies from Simakov's speech, then there is something to pay special attention to in the "dry residue". For example, the fact that (quote) "defects on some wooden structural elements were fixed during the Gate acceptance procedure for the balance of thermal management."

      Despite the fact that, probably, only Newsler.ru I drew attention to the word "acceptance", as the Gate remained unattended for more than six months. Although last year they were supposed to be transferred to the ownership of the Tourism Development Center in accordance with the terms of the budget subsidy agreement. But in case of violation of the terms of the contract, if it is interesting not only to the Publishing House, the Ministry of Finance was obliged to demand "to return the subsidy back to the regional budget."

      At the same time, the editors made a lot of efforts to see with their own eyes the project certified by the state expertise, the estimated cost and the Certificate of acceptance of the Gate into operation. If there were any, it would be possible to merge a young but decrepit art object with a much smaller number of questions into the ownership of not only Pervomaisky Terra, but also Municipal Municipal Unitary Enterprise Urban Baths.

      Unfortunately, getting your questions answered Newsler.ru failed. Therefore, going to the trick, the editors turned to sources to get at least private remarks from the city leadership. And, according to one of the intermediaries, the "chief city official" allegedly stated that "he had nothing to do with it — he was told to do so." The answer was accepted, but I really wanted to ask: "Who ordered it?"

      By the way, you should pay attention to that part of the official message of the administration, which states that (quote) "at the moment, the gate is under repair in a warm workshop," and "the contractor performs repairs at its own expense within the framework of warranty obligations."

      Interestingly, when talking about the "warm workshop", did the officials mean the almost summer temperatures of the Krasnodar Territory? Since all contracts for the manufacture of Gates were concluded with IP Karavaev (Alexander Sergeevich, Krasnodar Territory). Or is it really "warm rooms", but in Kirov, where, with a high degree of probability, the art object was built on the territory and by the forces of Kirov Ekostroy LLC, probably affiliated with City Duma deputy Yaroslav Shulakov.

      However, Newsler.ru I am ready to receive and publish official information obtained from the Resolution or the interrogation Protocol, if, of course, the "authorities" would have the same questions to the "instigators" of the creation of the Gate and the restoration of the Rotunda.
