The pearl shone. Also became unnecessary?.
Why about destiny of Suzdal which was included into number of cities of the world
Cultural heritage, the UNESCO, rather than lineal heirs more worries?
There were times, when from all ends of a planet in the city-museum of Suzdal
Came every year over one million organised tourists, not considering
So-called "savages". In a city, numbering 12 thousand inhabitants,
Operated about 30 museum expositions, and a tourist complex with
The big modern hotel, restaurant, cafe, bars and all services
Never was empty. In 60th years the country Government has accepted the special
The decision about creation in Suzdal of the centre domestic and world
Tourism. For these purposes, and also rescue of ancient monuments have been allocated
The big means on those times. Throughout almost two tens years
The Suzdal and Vladimir restorers led by the architect, nowadays
Known in Russia and it is far behind its limits academician Igor Stoletovym
Lifted from ruins belokamennye temples and other monuments of ancient Russian
Architecture, returned them a primordial form. From shabby buildings,
Representing historical and a cultural value, have moved in the new
Microdistrict almost half of urban population. The city revived, straightened
Wings, tourists considered as its Mecca.
But roughly begun process of formation and centre development
Domestic and world tourism has stopped also suddenly, as well as
Has begun. Have shelved the program of development of national crafts, not
Have solved a problem of leisure of travellers and aboriginals of a city, and
Cafes and restaurants have not started creation of a network of small hotels, did not become
To suffice money for restoration of monuments, museum job. And here result:
In 1996 Suzdal has visited only about 80 thousand tourists, and receipt in
The local budget from tourist activity have not exceeded five percent.
The situation has not changed for the better and in 1997: napolnjaemost
The tourist centre remains at level of 30-35 percent, has strongly decayed
Also the culture House is closed unique in a city, demand major repairs
The available housing, all communications, roads, sidewalks, the bridge through small river Kamenku.
But most of all experts and the public are disturbed by destiny
History and culture monuments. Them in a city and its vicinities from above 500.
The majority demands immediate intervention of restorers and builders.
In an emergency status are not only cult constructions and monuments
Civil architecture of various centuries, but also the most ancient architectural
The ensembles brought in 1993 in the list of the world cultural heritage.
Among them - the Christmas cathedral Suzdal kremlja, Spaso-Evfimevsky
And Pokrovsk monasteries, Arhierejsky chambers.
Meanwhile in Suzdal is, probably, unique
ktsionernoe a society, Suzdalrestavratsija ", headed by the perfect
Expert Michael Sharonov. In due time masters have rescued from
Inevitable б destruction it is a lot of belokamennyh temples and other constructions,
Erected ashimi far ancestors. And now they are compelled to be engaged
othodnym a craft to search for casual earnings in Moscow, Tula and others
The Russian cities. In native Suzdal, where jobs a plenty, them
Unique experience and skill remain not claimed.
It is considered to be, that the city-museum of Suzdal falls into decay therefore,
What not, it was entered "in market relations. Partly it so. It is impossible
To forget, however, that the greatest mine of the slowed down action under
The centre of world tourism it has been put in pawn long before the beginning of the economic
Reforms. The big money which the city earned on tourism in the
The best years, in its budget arrived only in scanty quantity in a kind
Grants from regional state treasury. Their lion's part settled in
Moscow and the regional centre. The city authorities practically had no
Anything systematically to develop a social infrastructure of Suzdal,
National crafts, tourist base to be engaged in restoration and
Preservation of monuments of history and culture or to create fund for these
The purposes. Even they e disposed of a tourist complex, as it
Completely was in conducting then oblispolkoma.
Only in the beginning of economic reforms turtsentr has been passed a city.
All, however, fine understood, that small town with traditional
With the scarce budget will choke in the sea of the problems which have fallen upon it.
- It is impossible to forget, that Suzdal - a pearl of all Russia, and
The majority amjatnikov, located in its territory, concerns to
The federal property. Therefore about city-museum development as centre
Domestic and world tourism are obliged to think not only local
The authorities, - the mayor of a city Alexander Illarionov considers.
It have understood even in UNESCO. Have understood and last year have accepted
Ancient Suzdal in the organisation of cities of the world heritage. Membership in
This authoritative international organisation has the big practical
Value for a city. Now it can count on the defined
The help from its party in the decision such п п?п©я п?cп?п , as preservation for
Descendants nikalnyh the monuments of ancient Russian architecture taken by UNESCO
On the special account.
As to domestic, sharks "from tourist business,
ootvetstvujushchih the ministries and departments, and also Russian legislators,
That at them to the centre of world and domestic tourism of a hand still
Do not reach.
And job here suffices on all. We will tell, A.Illarionov for a long time
It is knocked on the State Duma with the offer on giving to a city
To Suzdal tatusa unique historical and cultural and natural territory of the Russian Federation.
Such status would allow the city and regional authorities closely
To be engaged in the decision of the numerous problems which have overflowed a city-museum, so
As in the federal budget of means for these purposes would be provided
In the separate line. But in corridors of the higher legislature of the country,
Alas, keep silence.
