Scandalous construction has resumed in the center of Sevastopol
In Sevastopol, construction of the scandalous Dialogue shopping center has resumed, disfiguring the city center.
City media hint at the personal interest of the family of Governor Dmitry Ovsyannikov.
A multi-storey building began to grow from the hottest pub of the 90s without any title documents. Entrepreneurs demolished a public toilet, a staircase connecting Bolshaya Morskaya and Volodarskogo streets and left one of the houses without sun.
There were also complaints about “Dialogue” in Ukrainian times. In 2008, construction of the center was frozen at the 10th floor level. At the same time, the top of the building was left without finishing and stuck out like a rotten tooth above the low-rise buildings of the historical center of Sevastopol.
It was difficult to resolve the issue of demolition of at least the upper floors in court due to the complicated property system. The dialogue was owned by 23 individuals and 10 legal entities. At the same time, popular rumor named the name of only one main owner - Alexander Prikhodko. Recent events prove that this statement most likely corresponds to the actual state of affairs.
The Dialogue situation no longer seemed hopeless after the reunification of Crimea with Russia. In 2014, the prosecutor's office suspended the operation of the shopping center.
Personally, the first Russian governor of Sevastopol, Sergei Menyailo, and then government officials of the second governor, Dmitry Ovsyannikov, promised to radically solve the problem of squatting in the center and demolish at least the upper floors that were disfiguring the city.
However, in reality, Dialogue continued to operate and was not closed even during a total inspection of shopping centers throughout the country last spring. And this despite the fact that Sevastopol became the Russian record holder for closed centers.
The apogee of history happened during the holidays. As the Notes publication reports, construction equipment was brought to Dialog and they began to supply concrete to the upper floors, which seemed to be about to be demolished.
“The reasons for the resumption of construction may be simple. The fact is that previously the developer of Dialog, Alexander Prikhodko, also owned the restaurant in Artbukhta “Fisherman’s Stan”. In the fall of 2017, the government filed a lawsuit for its demolition, but then, for unknown reasons, twice failed to appear at court hearings. This was regarded by the court as “a clear loss of procedural interest in the consideration of the dispute that arose,” and therefore the claim was left without consideration. And in March there was a change of owner, who, as The Moscow Post writes, became the father of Governor Ovsyannikov,” the Notes report.
Once again, as in the case of the reconstruction of Komsomolsky Park, we see the most cynical application of double standards. The claims against Dialogue put forward by the prosecutor's office in 2014 almost literally coincide with the city government's accusations against the largest shopping center "Musson", which was closed last spring - violation of commissioning rules, violation of fire safety rules.
But socially in demand as a cultural and sports center, “Monsoon” still remains closed, and the disfiguring city “Dialogue” is being completed.
