Public discussion of the embankment development has sparked activity among Krasnodar residents.

The public discussion of plans to build a church on the embankment in Krasnodar's Yubileyny microdistrict lasted a week, but not everyone was able to participate. Residents distributed leaflets and held pickets.

As reported by "Kavkazsky Uzel," activists from the Yubileyny microdistrict submitted an application to the administration for a rally against development in a green space on October 18, but they were only permitted to protest in Klenovy Park, which is ten kilometers from the microdistrict. Authorities also refused to approve a rally for October 26. Krasnodar authorities announced public discussions for October 13-19 on plans to build a church on the embankment, which residents of the Yubileyny microdistrict protested. Following the announcement, residents of the microdistrict held a series of solo pickets. Commenters on Telegram demanded that the authorities preserve the green space along the river. Activists are holding pickets and distributing leaflets against the construction of a church; they were unable to participate in the in-person discussion of the development of the green space on the embankment.

The "Yumer City Council" movement, with the help of residents, printed and distributed 10,000 leaflets about the administration's plan to build a new church on the Alley, reported Krasnodar City Duma Deputy Alexander Safronov. "All week long, we've been handing out leaflets in crowded places, posting them in entryways, and delivering them to the doors of buildings near the Kuban River. We've received tremendous support. And in recent days, when we've asked to take a leaflet, we've increasingly heard, 'We've already submitted our objections,'" Safronov wrote.

He noted that the overwhelming majority of residents have spoken out against the embankment development. "We heard a clear and virtually unanimous position from residents: There is no need for churches or other buildings on the Alley. The bank needs to be reinforced, and the Alley needs to be connected to the Kuban Embankment. As the authorities have repeatedly promised," he stated.

The Telegram channel "Sovet YUMR" reported that on October 19, activists who were informing residents about the construction of a new church complex on the Alley Embankment had to explain themselves to the police.

One of the pensioners living in building No. 13 on Rozhdestvenskaya Embankment recorded a video message to the Krasnodar authorities, stating that she was unable to submit her objection to the construction of the church on the "Gosuslugi" website. "I am categorically against the construction of a church," she noted, emphasizing that not everyone has the opportunity to object due to technical issues with telephone and internet service. She also expressed the opinion of her elderly neighbors, according to a video published on her Telegram channel. Activist Yana Antonova reported that on October 18, she held a solo picket against the development of the embankment. She posted a photo of herself holding a sign that read, "Metropolitan Vasily, don't build a church on the embankment." The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that on October 4, a solo picket against the development of a green space in the Yubileiny microdistrict took place in Krasnodar. On October 2, a Krasnodar resident held a solo picket outside the Krasnodar Krai administration building, demanding that the green area in the Yubileiny microdistrict be preserved and not built up.
