Houses are demolished in Imereti Lowland

Currently, in the Imereti Lowland of Sochi, in the place, where the stadium for the opening ceremony of the Olympiad-2014 will be built, private households are being demolished.

Dredges of the contractors of the "Olympstroy" Corporation are destroying the houses, from where residents were resettled by court decisions. Earlier, they protested against eviction; however, many of them were forced to abandon their houses. Some of them became owners of the houses built in Nekrasovskoe village located nearby. The certificate placed near the construction site runs that the place will "comprise houses, engineering infrastructure, street-and-road network of the cultural-historical centre 'Nekrasovskoe village' in the Imereti Lowland (design and prospecting works, construction)."

In total, the layout pictures 120 houses; and superintendents assure that it is really so.

Nekrasovskoe is near Nizhneimeretinskaya Street, where private houses are demolished and where, according to the "Olympstroy", the 40,000-capacity stadium will be built for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Olympiad-2014.
