The court banned the governor of Sevastopol from demolishing the city's largest shopping center
The Gagarinsky District Court completely refused the Sevastopol government's request to grant permission to demolish the Monsoon shopping center. This was reported by the local publication ForPost.
“The court completely denied our government the demolition of Monsoon, since we are legally located on the land that was allocated to us 10 years ago. This is the first instance, but there cannot be anything else, otherwise it is chaos. After the decision comes into force, we will be able to conclude contracts for buildings that are ending and our tenants are leaving,” said the owner of Musson, Vladimir Plotka.
The entrepreneur noted that both now and earlier – in 2015 – the court confirmed that the enterprise uses the land for its intended purpose. However, he could not say when the shopping center will open.
Previously, Plotka stated that the governor of Sevastopol, Dmitry Ovsyannikov, has a personal interest and claims that bribes were extorted from him during inspections. As a result of the Monsoon downtime, about 500 entrepreneurs lost their jobs, some of them are already bankrupt. Despair forced them to turn to the “direct line” to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The head of state personally instructed the governor to look into the situation, but the conflict has not been resolved.
“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.
