For the sake of a bridge to the upper part of Moscow, the house where the family lived for more than a century was destroyed.
Elena Matrosova's ancestors had lived in a house on Navrazhnya Street in the village of Rubalvo since 1915. In 2018, Elena restored the house: she made repairs, added a second floor and built a garage. Since then she tried to legitimize the renovation, but failed.
As a result, a large-scale construction came to the area and the century-old building became a pile of construction waste. And the authorities moved it due to renovation - to an apartment complex in the Mozhaisk district.
"The price of my house dropped 16 times. For my neighbors - five times, because they don't have such a restoration. They didn't give us people a penny to transfer. They said: let's run, we'll give you a car for one day to get your things out," Elena told .
The authorities evicted Elena and her neighbors in a cunning way: the property department went to court and stated that the houses are in a terrible condition and therefore require urgent resettlement. Elena also went to court to refute this. The meeting is scheduled for November 24, but the demolition is already underway. According to the Muscovite, the statute of limitations of the city property department has long since expired and the building cannot be recognized as an unauthorized construction.
MSK1 sent a request to the mayor's office to find out who and how assessed the emergency situation of the buildings.
