Residents of Kazan began to collect signatures against the uncontrolled transformation of the Margsovsky House.
There are several opinions.
1 The authorities want to turn an abandoned house into a luxury residential complex with two-level apartments.
2 TRO VOOPIK, which protects historic buildings, says there is a lack of independent expertise. The authorities rejected the decision of 30 experts.
3 Social activists believe that due to rough work, Kazan will lose a cultural monument. If the parking lot is standing, it will be on karst rocks, and if the walls break, it will greatly change the structure.
People also fear that if the house is greatly rebuilt, then other historical houses in Tatarstan will be greatly changed using the same example.
Currently, 63 people have signed a petition against changing the house, and social activists have collected 50 signatures. The signatories demand that the work be stopped and a scientific and methodological council be formed - we have not assembled it since 2024.
Whose side are you on?
- Let them build a residential complex, at least the building will have such a life.
- That they do nothing until the inspection, the building will wait.
— I only because of its historical appearance.
