“This unfortunate nymph simply painted” – BBC

Activists gradozaschitnogo movement “Living City” complained to the prosecutor’s office for restorers and officials had a hand in the old house on the corner of the Rebellion and Zhukovsky.

After the restoration it turned out that one of the beautiful nymphs in bas-relief houses Badaeva It looks like an ugly idol in with swollen lips and eyelids. House – corner, similar reliefs with nymphs are located on two streets, so it is easy to compare them. Nymph at Zhukovsky’s still beautiful.

nymph on the streets Rebellion is now reminiscent of the Polovtsian statue, stone steppe a woman.

The building – the object cultural heritage of regional significance. Responsible for his state of the city government: in the Committee of State Control, Use and Protection of Monuments (KGIOP) must be documents of historical and cultural expertise, documentation with the names of contracting firms, statements of work.

Activists say connected to the issue of deputies and try to help prosecutors get responses from city officials.

« According to our data, a nymph in this state remains for five years – he said ” Gazeta.ru “Daria Vasilyeva, an activist of the movement” Living City “. – The first restoration of the facade was five years ago. Two years ago this was the overhaul of the facade from the street uprisings. And this unfortunate nymph just painted. That is the situation KGIOP clap twice ».

An activist says that the officials demonstrate complete indifference, while the” response of the townspeople – a runaway. ” Petersburgers write about the poor quality of the restoration almost around the historic center.

«It reminds me of the situation with Mephistopheles – said Vasilyev. – The wave of the same. What is missing is the national gathering at the corner of the Rebellion and Zhukovsky. It is characteristic that seems to be a little relief … and the people for the second time as actively enter. My phone does not stop, the Internet, mail accounts, all culled messages. Write about similar cases of “restoration”, will soon have a card file open … »

According to Vasileva, from substandard work suffered Atlanta palace” Baby “on Furshtatskaya street, the statue of the Admiralty, little fingers on the feet of angels Isaac, sculptures of the basilica of St. Catherine on the Nevsky Prospect.

The activist said that there is a trend – more and more often in St. Petersburg detect poorly restored decorative elements, cultural monuments, located at a high altitude.

«At first I thought – as five years, did not notice the nymph mutilated, because I know the house, – says Vasilyev. – Then I realized: the horror at such a height that did not immediately notice. In addition, the decor a lot, do not always have time to peer. We therefore call upon Petersburgers: peering into the monuments! Because it will soon be a freak show at every turn … »

representative KGIOP Xenia Cherepanov said” Gazeta.ru “, that is to refrain from comments and promised to tell the position of the committee later.

«I am now studying the history of the issue when the comment will be ready, I’ll post it on the site KGIOP – said Cherepanov. – I hope have time today … »

Gradozaschitniki think that you can just fix the situation – in the future be part of the restoration of the house Badaeva, which faces the street Zhukovsky. The competition task should be included and the victim nymph.

«KGIOP can justify the fact that there is no money for the restoration of the facade – said Vasilyev. – Although the restoration of speech does not go, we need to work with local bas-relief.

This is a house-monument, and KGIOP took this job. Why he does not want to answer for their mistakes and deficiencies? »

Not surprised at the metamorphosis of a nymph Petersburg deputy Alexei Kovalev, the author of the federal law” On objects of cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia “, member of the Presidium of the St. Petersburg Society for the Protection historical and cultural monuments:

«For the sake of the financial effect of professional restorers we replaced by lay people, – said Kovalev. – Who will win the tender? Those who offer a cheaper, faster, give the highest kickbacks. Therefore, complex restoration work, observance of technologies, the ability – no one needs ».

According to the deputy, the examination is often done formally, and the restoration transformed into reconstruction:

«We see this in the same Stables Office (historical complex, which would restructure into a hotel. -” Times “). And how did the Konstantinovsky Palace? Ponakleili plastic … all fiction, not the restoration of … »

At the same Kovalev said that the incident with the nymph must also understand – who is to blame. It happened that it was not negligent officials, and excessive zeal of citizens and control structures, have decided on their own “podzalatat” historical monument.

Before the revolution, the building on the corner of the Rebellion and Zhukovsky Badaeva belonged to the landlord; he kept an apartment house for wealthy gentlemen. Art Nouveau building constructed in the years 1904-1906 by the architect Vasily Kosyakova. The building has a rich interior, the facade is decorated with reliefs – nymphs and angels. The winged figure on the tongs most expressive and recognizable – thanks to her building was nicknamed the “House of the sad angel.” According to urban legend, the daughter of Badaeva jumped out the window, and my father wanted it to be captured in the form of an angel. Authors decor – George Kosjakov and nickase Podrebersky. In 1907, their creation was rated on the facades of the city competition, awarding home the silver medal. During the war the house was bombed, some of the upper floors were destroyed.

Now the house Panteleimon Badaeva – object of cultural heritage of regional significance.

Recall previous resonant case with victims of Petersburg monument occurred in the summer. However, the restorers to the incident had nothing to do.

August 27, 2015 to the front of the house in the Petrograd district sledgehammer knocked relief Mephistopheles. After the criminal case was initiated. The vandalism aroused the indignation of St. Petersburg, at the national gathering of a few hundred people gathered. Many were convinced that Mephistopheles prevented religious fanatics and so peculiar way, they decided to deal with the ruler of hell.
