Sacred Sofia has attracted to "Hilton".
   What heart of Russian person will not be hammered uchashchenno at
Word Kiev: "Yes, we from it left". It - "mater cities of Russian" and a place,
Whence "is, Russian earth" has gone.
   This great city is inexpressibly perfect at any time year,
Stretched on pridneprovskih hills. Its architecture is unique, in
Impregnations of structures of thousand-year prescription are available which. And it nesmotrja
On that churches in large quantities fell, the Kreschatik flied up on air. A symbol
Eternity of this city remained sacred Sofia and Kievo-Pecherskaja monastery.
   I have found this city in second half of this century. When
In him the provincial centre of Russian empire was still guessed and already defined
Shape of capital of one of the largest Soviet republics. Were still saved
Pig-iron fountains of the beginning of the century on the then area of Kalinin, but already were
The post-war grandiose Kreschatik is built, is still proud rose over
By Dnepr the big belltower Kievo-Pecherskoj of monastery, but it was already piled up
The huge Stalin house built for the Ukrainian government, where
Then were a city town committee and obkom parties. But on Andreevsky descent sidewalks
Have still been laid out pre-revolutionary an unprecedented fortress by a brick - under
The windows then yet well-groomed house Turbinyh, a place where has grown
Writer Bulgakov. Kiev still was Kiev.
   It seemed, the history has stopped this process. An is not present! Now
Over Ancient Kiev simply unknown threat has hung. In the most valuable with
The historical and architectural points of view places: at a cathedral of sacred Sofia,
Near National opera theatre, nearby to Kievo-Pecherskoj laurels
Standard boxes of "five-stars" hotels "Hiltons" will be erected.
The first hotel should be erected near the Sofievsky area and carry
The name "Sofijakievsky". Under it the territory - under the decision is already cleared away
City administration. The first unique houses closely connected with are rented
History of Kiev.
   On pages of the Ukrainian press against this project resolutely
The chairman of the Ukrainian society of protection of monuments of history acts
Cultures, the vice-president of National academy of sciences, academician Peter
Tolochko.
   The academician considers, that realisation of the project which it is conditionally possible
To name "Hilton" in Kiev ", will put an irreparable harm
To architecturally-historical shape of a city, will make impossible the further
Archaeological researches in the most perspective places. The project "Hilton"
It is approved by time people of the city administration, wishing to create in
Eyes of the top management of power visibility of activity by deformation
Unique ancient city.
   The main architect of Kiev Sergey Grandmother's adheres to other opinion.
He asserts, that Kiev cannot fall asleep in architectural shape XIX
Centuries. Besides, investments and workplaces are necessary to a city, and
The foreign tourists bringing currency, are accustomed to live in the magnificent
Hotels in the centre of cities, nearby to the main historical monuments, in
Kiev it basically - sacred Sofia and Kievo-Pecherskaja monastery. In a word,
Architects, in its opinion, have made everything to enter into the XXI-st century Kiev with
New shape.
   I am afraid to be accused of political tactlessness. Today in Ukraine
Especially react to any remarks or the wishes proceeding from the party
Moscow. I will not become, certainly to confirm who is right: the academician or
The architect. azreshit this dispute is necessary first of all to the Ukrainian authorities.
Though, probably, and to the people of Ukraine, among which every fourth -
Russian on a nationality, and every second - Russian-speaking, new shape
Kiev it is not indifferent.
