PADUO POCTOBA - Радиопатруль - Дом на Шаумяна, 41 - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

The apartment building of the Tuvardzhiev merchants - the place where Russian billiards began in Rostov - will soon be demolished. The regional Ministry of Culture did not recognize its historical value. The one-and-a-half-story building of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, according to officials, is typical and background, and therefore subject to demolition. Moreover, there are investors who are ready to invest in the construction of a hotel on Shaumyan, 41a. Local city defenders are trying to stop the destruction of the old mansion. As Alexander Kozhin, a representative of the Rostov Society for the Protection of Monuments, told us, on the brick facade there is a pre-revolutionary inscription in large letters, which indicates that the first billiard room in the city was located in this building a hundred years ago.

It is not yet known exactly when the apartment building will be demolished. Investors' plans are hampered by legal encumbrances. RR patrol officer Daniil Kalinin will tell you how it appeared. He understood the vicissitudes of the trial, in the center of which was a former apartment building.

“Eight years ago, a group of Moscow and Rostov investors bought a plot under the house of the Tuvardzhiev merchants in order to build a hotel there. At that time, the building was not listed as a historical monument. Construction had not started all these years. However, at the beginning of 2016, investors still decided to start construction. They installed fences and were about to begin demolition, when Rostov city defenders intervened. They demanded that the Ministry of Culture understand the status of the historical building located there. Plus, a lawsuit came from the residents of a nearby residential building, demanding that the boundaries of the construction site be recognized as undefined. All because the protective fence blocked the fire entrance to the house, says resident Elena Kalitina.

A few months later, the residents filed another lawsuit, in which they were not against the demolition of the house, but at the same time insisted on moving the easement so that there would still be a fire entrance. These are essentially two conflicting claims. The court banned any work on the site until the end of the proceedings. It is also interesting that after the start of litigation on the Avito classifieds website, a publication appeared about the sale of a plot at Shaumyan 41 a - the controversial object is located there. However, so far, apparently, there are no people willing to buy the oldest Rostov billiard room.

By the way, at the end of the 2000s, the house of the Tuvardzhiev merchants was even used as a set for a movie. Fyodor Bondarchuk filmed his film near the first billiard room in Rostov.
