Why don't you serve in the army? " - How the discussions on cutting Sosnovi Bore went in Novosibirsk Public discussions on changes to the general plan of Novosibirsk were held on November 6. One of the main issues was the development of Sosnovi Bor in the Kalininskiy district. There, Altex wants to build a sports complex and a 12-story building with underground parking. The defenders of the pine forest stress that they are not against Altax's plans, but against cutting down the pine forest, which belongs to urban forests. They suggest moving the project to another location or changing it. The deputy of the legislative assembly Anna Tereshkova, who for a long time supervised green areas in the mayor's office, spoke about the same thing earlier. Representatives of Altax and the Siberian University of Communication and Informatics (SibGUTI), which works closely with the company, spoke in support of the reduction. One of the men sitting among the Altax "support group" made loud comments to almost every pit defender. He interrupted one of the leaders of the citizens' initiative group, Denis Kataev, with the words: "Why don't you serve in the army? " But those around him immediately asked the man the same thing, and he was temporarily silent. In general, the discussions simply confirmed the positions of the parties. Official experts, as usual, supported the changes in the general plan proposed by the mayor's office. The final stage is before us, when the amendments will be examined by the deputies of the city council. Altax, which manufactures communication equipment, began cutting down trees in Sosnovi Bor under the guise of an "emergency". Back in December 2025, Novosibirsk Region Governor Andrei Trevnikov (United Russia) directed the mayor's office to allocate land without a bid and "work on issues as soon as possible" regarding the exclusion of areas from the boundaries of urban forests. The residents have already collected more than 8 thousand signatures against the project. CEO Alexei Chernikov justified the development in the enterprise's important role in securing information in a country under sanctions. About 300 people came to the rally against cutting down trees.
