Gostiny Dvor in Kiev returned to state ownership. Such a decision on Wednesday, February 28, issued the Economic Court of Appeal of Kiev. This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor's Office of Kiev. It is noted that the court granted the appeal of the prosecutor's office in full. "The Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the court of first instance and adopted a new one that terminated the lease and ordered the private structure to return the building of the Gostiny Dvor to the state," the prosecutor's office explained.. Note that the Gostiny Dvor - a shopping complex on the Kontraktova Square in Kiev, built in 1809. By the decision of the Cabinet in August 2011, the Gostiny Dvor was removed from the State Register of Architectural Monuments. On September 20, 2012 the city council transferred Ukrrestavratsiya for lease for 5 years a plot of land under the Gostiny Dvor for the reconstruction of this building for a commercial and office center with a guest parking. This decision caused a spontaneous action for the preservation of the Gostiny Dvor building. Under the terms of the contract, the lessee took full responsibility for the preservation of the architectural monument and the maintenance of the building in proper sanitary, fire-fighting and technical condition. Despite this, the regional department of the State Property Fund for Kiev repeatedly established the facts of a significant breach by the tenant of the terms of the contract, in particular, deterioration of the lease object, which created the threat of destruction of the architectural monument Gostiny Dvor. FGI appealed to the Khozsud of Kiev with a claim for termination of the lease agreement. However, the court of first instance refused to satisfy the claim. The Kyiv prosecutor's office lodged an appeal against this decision, which was fully satisfied. The Court of Appeal overturned the decision of the first instance court and adopted a new one that terminated the lease and ordered the private structure to return the building of the Gostiny Dvor to the state. In 2011, a powerful movement for the preservation of the Gostiny Dvor began in Kiev. Activists formed squats inside the building, held cultural events, inviting the public. After months of active activity, they were beaten and kicked out, but activists through the courts secured a ban on construction. December 15, 2015 Ukrrestavratsiya - agreed to conserve the building of the Gostiny Dvor. December 22, 2015, the Cabinet of Ministers supported the court's decision to recognize the Gostiny Dvor as an architectural monument. News from Telegram.
