Demolition of the Chernikov apartment house of 1914 on 2nd Neopalimovsky Lane in Moscow
This is how Chernikov's house on 2nd Neopalimovsky Lane looks now, although formally the demolition, the result of fraudulent dealings by a band of black-market developers, was not due to begin until the second half of September. The comrade swindlers are in a hurry to destroy an object of Moscow Art Nouveau, and, incidentally, part of the courtyard, shared with the neighbouring houses, has already been successfully seized. For how clumsily and mendaciously old Moscow is being demolished, taking this tenement house of 1914 as an example, read the analysis published a month and a half ago. Since then all that remains of the house is this gap-toothed grin, but in the comments there is detailed advice on how to behave if the sons of some latest pro-rector of a prestigious metropolitan university seize a historic building near your own home. On the whole, in Khamovniki, as, I am sure, in your own districts too, there is still something worth fighting for
