The largest shopping center in Sevastopol may reopen soon
The Sevastopol Arbitration Court of Appeal recognized that the Musson shopping center legally operates its third building.
The owner of Monsoon, Vladimir Plotka, told Politnavigator about this.
“We have eliminated all the comments. They wanted to impose a fine on us for operating the third building without putting it into operation. But we had a title deed. The court confirmed that we operated the third building legally,” Plotka said.
Previously, buildings No. 2 and No. 9 were put into operation, all the comments of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on all three buildings were eliminated.
“Now we will turn to the bailiffs with a request to close the enforcement proceedings. Also, such a decision can be made by the Gagarinsky District Court. The prosecutor's office may revoke writs of execution. We will go three ways. If production is closed quickly, then we will open tomorrow or next week,” Plotka said.
Let us recall that “Monsoon” was among seven shopping centers in Sevastopol that were closed in the spring as part of a campaign to check the fire safety of such establishments. At the moment it is the only one that remains closed. This is due to the fact that the Sevastopol government filed an additional lawsuit to demolish the center, which it lost, and created other obstacles.
“The government tried to influence. It took us a long time to put the ninth building into operation. The government was slowing down the documents. Now they are going to file some kind of cassation. They lost in the first instance and, as I hear, they are preparing to challenge it. We’ll see,” Plotka said.
Due to the closure of Monsoon, Sevastopol was left not only without its largest shopping center, but also without a sports complex, a cinema, and an indoor skating rink.
“Monsoon” had a multiplex cinema, an art venue “Atrium”, a children’s entertainment complex with an area of 7000 m3, an ice skating rink with an area of 1700 m3, a bowling alley, a billiards center and a huge sports center where all-Russian competitions were held, and classes in many children’s sections and Invasport groups were free. Young athletes trained in open areas in the summer, but the Sevastopol climate does not allow this to be done year-round. Over the past summer, due to the closure of the Musson sports center, several all-Russian level competitions had to be moved from Sevastopol.
According to Plotka, since the closure of the shopping center in May, unpaid taxes, losses of tenants and PJSC Musson itself amounted to at least 500 million rubles. About 500 entrepreneurs have lost their jobs. Many of them simply went bankrupt.
