Desperate Sevastopol entrepreneurs turned to Putin
More than two hundred Sevastopol entrepreneurs who lost their business due to the closure of the Musson shopping and entertainment center wrote appeals to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Before this, they marched along Lenin Street from the prosecutor's office to the President's reception on Nakhimov Square.
This was reported by the Forpost publication, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“The prosecutor does not accept us, and we do not know how to get out of the situation. Everything was done in “Monsoon”, you can open the premises, you can work, but for some reason our building is not put into operation, the enforcement proceedings are not completed. Maybe the president will help us, or the president’s office,” says Vladimir Plotka, owner of Musson PJSC.
Two weeks ago, the protesters wrote a collective appeal to the prosecutor with a request to initiate the cancellation of interim measures imposed by the court at the request of the supervisory agency, since all fire safety violations in Monsoon had been eliminated. The letter had 2,5 thousand signatures. They received no answer.
The next meeting of the Gagarinsky District Court will take place on December 21. And there is a possibility that the judge will remove the interim measures. Then after 15 days the shopping center will be able to start operating.
In early December, the Arbitration Court of Appeal of Sevastopol recognized that the Musson shopping center legally operates its third building. 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.
As PolitNavigator reported, 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.
Due to the closure of Monsoon Sevastopol was left not only without the largest TC, but without a sports complex, cinema, 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.
