All-Russian Exhibition Center

Anna Bronovitskaya on her Facebook pages chronicles the work at the All-Russian Exhibition Center. According to her, "the scope of work is amazing, a real construction site for communism." Everything that is possible is washed and painted (moreover, they are washed with water under pressure, and painted along the cracks), the heavily ruined buildings have not yet been touched. Information about the felling of part of the Michurinsky Garden was not confirmed, the fence around it was removed, and the neighboring areas with weeds were leveled. The author continues to marvel at the oceanarium being built here, a "huge monster" where a "whale show" can be shown.

Meanwhile, not everyone regrets the modernist cover of Radioelectronics. Commenting on the Gazeta.ru article, Vladimir Paperny said: "I am not sorry for this aluminum Potemkin village … The Socialist Realist Pavilion of 1954 by Yakovlev and Shoshensky (which will open behind the facade) is also, of course, a fiction, but of the two fictions I choose 1954."

The user moskovsk_bambuk took a walk around the All-Russian Exhibition Center during the beautification, published photos and impressions of what was happening.

Democracy

In his blog, Ilya Varlamov criticizes the public opinion poll, in which all users of the Our City Moscow portal were invited to participate on behalf of Mayor Sobyanin. The questionnaire combines two questions: about Triumfalnaya Square and the renaming of VVTs into VDNKh. Varlamov points to the incorrect wording of both questions - the letter on behalf of the mayor says that "the best projects that have become winners of a professional competition" are submitted for citizens' approval, while in fact the winner (buromoscow) has already been announced. Citizens are offered to decide whether pavilions on the square are needed or not, - this decision, according to Varlamov, "has already been made, and if not, all the same, such decisions should be made by professionals." Varlamov also calls the decision to rename the VVTs already decided, in a word, the very fact of the dialogue was approved by the famous blogger, and in detail he criticized the first attempt of the mayor's office to go public on the basis of architectural material.

Last week, the topic of preserving the Shukhov Tower has become more acute as well. VOOPiK inspector and deputy Alexandra Andreeva released a photo of a very suspicious letter pasted on residential buildings around the Shukhov tower. Residents were invited to public hearings, for some reason on the other side of the city in Ostankino, two options for the fate of the tower to choose from: dismantling "with the preservation of the surrounding buildings" or "restoration in place and the creation of a cultural cluster … which will entail the demolition of some administrative and residential buildings located on the territory adjacent to the tower”. It was not easy to get to the hearings: not even all the journalists were recorded, and two hours before the start of the event they said that only residents of houses 11/16 on Shukhovskaya Street would be admitted. As a result, according to journalist Maria Fadeeva, the hearings were postponed from the hall for 300 people, 100 were recorded, and 40 came. We are waiting for the development of events.

An interesting story, which also happened yesterday, was told by Ilya E. Malkov: when he got out on the roof of one of the houses near the Shukhovskaya tower, he found the journalists of the Russia-1 channel there: “I tried to give them an interview. They said that “all the texts have already been given to them” and they will not deviate from the assignment. She also said that their superiors (VGTRK) made it clear to them that it had already been decided to disassemble the tower for sure and that "all these TV plots are to defuse the atmosphere."

Beautification

Pyotr Ivanov in a column on UrbanUrban told the whole truth about how the improvement of the courtyard of the house on Akademika Anokhin Street, 38 was carried out. project. However, by a happy coincidence, the contractor learned that no rollback was required, and "the work went at the Stakhanov's pace." As a result, after the war with the deputies, the extra tiles bought for "kickback" and the absurd story with urns, an excellent courtyard was created, which, however, had little in common with the original plan. According to Petr Ivanov, "the path from project to implementation was so unique and dubious in the legal aspect that we cannot consider it a good case."

Arkady Gershman in his blog, using European examples, told about the correct, from his point of view, street design, friendly to pedestrians and passengers of public transport: about narrow lanes, "anti-pocket" and zigzag streets "to calm traffic".
