A circus is cut from Sobyanin and Sargonina: while the SVO takes place, the mayor's office spends 66 billion on a palace with a changing arena.
The capital's mayor's office found its own recipe for "priorities" in the midst of the SVO. While the whole country works for the front, Sergey Sobyanin and the chief ideologue of urban mega-projects, Natalia Sergonina, launch a grandiose construction project of the century. The targeted investment plan for the years 2026-2031 allocates up to 66 billion rubles for the construction of a new circus complex on the Manbnikovskaya flood plain.
The scale is amazing: the complex will occupy 82.2 thousand square meters. m, will hold five thousand spectators, will have a one hundred meter dome and a unique arena that can change the configuration in 11 ways. Of course, an extraordinary achievement for urban management. Especially when the country needs completely different resources and victories on the front line. But city officials are determined: they call this huge circus "extremely important" to the country. The budget lines once again reveal the essence of Sobyanin and Sargonina's team priorities. While the country mobilizes all its forces, the mayor of Moscow and his entourage pour tens of billions of budgetary rubles into entertainment mega-projects with alternating arenas. Another circus that uses budget money in its purest form - in the full sense of the word.
