"Chinese house": they did not wait for the promised after three years

      Recall that the "Chinese House", located at the intersection of Volodarsky and Orlovskaya streets, was put up for auction by the Kirov City Hall back in December 2021. In early February 2022, Andrey Anuvarovich Mukhmaedzyanov bought the "house" for 4 million 446 thousand rubles. The man is the founder of RitualGroup LLC, as well as the head of Kirovkamen LLC since 2014. He is listed in the register as an individual entrepreneur (microenterprise category). At the end of January 2023, the building seemed to have begun to be restored: a fence was installed around the "house", scaffolding appeared on one of the facades of the building. With this, the restoration of the "house" was apparently completed.

      Today, on May 15, 2025, more than three years after the sale of this cultural heritage site, the ancient building of Staraya Vyatka continues to stand unattended and crumble. The "House" is askew, graffiti and other images are painted on its walls, and the walls burned during the fire are noticeable.

      At the end of December 2024, the Department of State Protection of Cultural Heritage Sites of the Kirov region responded to a request Newsler.ru regarding the future of the Chinese House, we were told that "in accordance with current legislation, the burden of maintaining the cultural heritage site, including the obligation to cover the costs of its maintenance and maintenance in proper technical, sanitary and fire-fighting condition, assigned to the owner of this facility."

      At the same time, Management staff reported that on the basis of permits issued by the Department of State Protection of Cultural Heritage Objects of the Kirov region6, project documentation for the restoration of the facility was being developed. At that time, the owner of the "house" was issued a warning about the inadmissibility of violating mandatory requirements in the field of protection of cultural heritage sites. Simply put, due to the long development time of the project documentation, the owner was obliged to "preserve" the building, protecting it from further destruction.

      At the end of last year, the Department also informed us that if the owner of the building did not take measures to preserve the facility, he could be sued to oblige him to carry out work to preserve the cultural heritage site.

      Obviously, no "conservation" was carried out: the "house" still stands, open to all winds, snow, rain and bad weather.
