The reason - the construction of the new North Bridge, which will affect the development area Chekhov Street and park near Lenin Square. On the prospects of transferring said Vitaly Dubik, chief architect of Vitebsk, answering questions from readers of the newspaper "Vitbichi."

According to him, a monument to Vladimir Korotkevich, established in 1994 at the intersection of Chekhov and Suvorov, dismantle and will transfer to another place - deep in the park, which starts from Lenin Square and goes to the coast of the Dvina. Recently, he called the "Square in honor of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Vitebsk region," as evidenced by plaque on the rock in the middle of the central alley. Says Mr. Dubik, somewhere on this "axis that runs from the building to the Philharmonic Dvina", there is a place and transferred the monument, and the new St. Sophia Cathedral, which is planning to build in Vitebsk. "Axis", which says Mr. Dubik - is paved segment of the central alley. Where paving ends, there stretches a huge chunk of the disordered area.

By the way, according to the chief architect of Vitebsk, and will endure another cultural object - a building that houses the museum Minaya Shmyreva, architectural monument of the 20th century. It also will take and restore "somewhere in the territory of the park."

Monument to Vladimir Korotkevich already transferred, citing "a promising development of the city" - in Orsha. This happened on the eve of "Dazhynki 2008". Just at this point decided to build a toilet in the reconstructed Pridneprovsk park. After the reconstruction of the park was called childish. And a monument to the writer-countryman, built by sculptor Igor Golubev, "resettled" in the environment "cartoon" characters - Crocodile Gena, Cheburashka, Dunno and others, between swings, seesaws and other attractions.

No public discussion about the transfer of monuments or in Orsha then nor now in Vitebsk was conducted.
