Maria Survillo drew attention to the felling of trees at the Donskoy Monastery in Moscow

The remarkable Moscow scholar Maria Survillo has drawn attention to the destruction of trees on the grounds of the Donskoy Monastery. Dreadful, tragic, irreparable. How cynically and methodically the image of old Moscow and the evidence of its former beauty are being destroyed 😣 P.S. To the champions of the barbarous sawing-up of ancient trees on the pretext of "improving" the plantings and preventing falling trunks, I recommend finding out how, in normal times, under a normal society and normal leadership, trees a thousand years old were preserved: their health was watched over, and their trunks were guarded and reinforced. The very same thousand-year-old linden in Kyiv, for one, or read my posts on the care of the venerable old trees in the park of the Khmelita estate
