In Viciebsk on Chekhov Street may appear... St. Sophia Cathedral. As planned, it will look like the Cathedral in Polacak, built in XI century. From 24 August to 18 September in the city will be a public discussion of the project.

However, this project violates the law "On protection of historical and cultural heritage". This was told by Anton Astapovich, chairman of the Society for Protection of Monuments of History and Culture.

Anton Astapovich: "In the historical center you can only restore the lost historical planning structure, restore significant buildings. Recovery should be done at the site of the existence of value. And it is not subject to recovery. It is also illegal and public discussion, as the organizer has to be a local authority and is not necessary. Also, the commission is not published."

Chairman of the Society for Protection of Monuments of History and Culture is going to appeal to the prosecutor's office and city council about Viciebsk infringement.

Presentation of the St. Sophia Cathedral in Viciebsk has to go on August 28 at 10:00 in the Holy Dormition Cathedral.
