Changes in the architecture of the city center in most cases, cause serious resonance among the inhabitants of Kiev.

Architects say that they tried as best they can “get into context” but stressed that “each era has its own language”, so I decided not to copy the buildings of the last or the last century. Part of Kiev met открытиt facade with cries of “Shame”, but there are still довольныt and reconstruction – they are happy about the fact that Kyiv is not there another creation in the style of the Vozdvizhenka and emphasize – the city should organically change.
This is not the first scandal with the construction of Andrew descent. For a long time, this street has managed to retain its historic character, although it should be noted, walked and reconstruction, so the part of the buildings was badly neglected.

Then was destroyed three facade of the building. Protests from urban activists forced the company to abandon the plan.

Kyiv Podol did not give rest to developers. In 2012 a scandal broke out around Gostiny Dvor. The year before he was removed from the list of architectural monuments of Ukraine, which is under state protection. After that, the building was bought by the company “Ukrrestavratsiya”, which rented the premises since 1994, and began construction. It was envisaged that a new shopping arcade that will host the Mall, will bring to the architecture of the 19th century. Activists claimed that in fact a former architectural monument should become a shopping centre with a glass dome and car Parking for 340 places that would turn the contract area to the biggest Park in the center of Kiev. Also had to be transferred a monument to Peter Sagaydachny.

Gostiny Dvor before the reconstruction
To protect the “Dormitory” were numerous activists, they occupied the building and held in his backyard art event. However, members of the public started to attack the unknown men in camouflage and “Berkut”, to drive them out of the building. As a result, in February 2013 in Gostiny Dvor, a fire broke out, activists have accused the developer of arson. In General, for Kyiv this phenomenon has become familiar: a fire used for the withdrawal of the buildings from the register of monuments and thus get the building permit.
To save the monument failed after Euromaidan. In July 2014 , the Kyiv city Council cancelled land acquisition for the reconstruction of Gostiny Dvor in Kontraktovaya square. In November, the building was returned to the status of a monument of architecture. And in December 2015 , the state property Fund today broke the lease Gostiny Dvor “Ukrrestavratsia” that everything is associated with a confidant of the President of the fugitive Viktor Yanukovych Andriy Kravets.

In addition, many scandals occur in the residential areas of the capital, which enterprising entrepreneurs have also decided to turn into a solid building, destroying space – squares, parks, or just convenient for the movement of people sites like this happened in the underpass near the metro station “Heroes of Dnepr”. Such cases, fortunately, do not leave indifferent activists who continue to fight for their city.
