The activists raised money for a new stele in the community of the Kamenny Bor Park’s defenders on vk.com and installed it on their own right where the destroyed monument was. They attached a sign to the stele informing that Yasha Stepanov, a soldier of the destruction battalion, was killed there when defending Petrozavodsk in October 1941.

According to the activists, the police arrivedВ while they were installing the stele. Police officers drew up administrative reports against some of them for the violation ofВ the self-isolation regime due toВ the coronavirus pandemic. Nevertheless, the activists finished installing the stele and laid flowers on it.

The developerВ beganВ toВ cut down two sections inВ the Kamenny Bor Park inВ February 2020. The first land plot is leased by SU-149 LLC. It was initially planned to build a motocross track there, but then the Ministry of Sports of Karelia reported that a sports and recreation center would be built on the land plot. It is planned to build a kindergarten for 280 people on the other land plot under the contract of the Karelian government. The government contractВ was received by the TechExpert Company, Moscow. The developer dismantled a memorial sign to soldier Yakov Stepanov that had beenВ installed at the supposed place of his death. The town administration reported after this incident that the monument would be restored in the autumn of 2020 asВ soon asВ the kindergarten was completed.

The defenders of the Kamenny Bor Park tried to stop the construction on their own, considering the felling of trees unacceptable. They went to the construction site and interrupted the work, recorded video adresses to the authorities and expressed their protest at meetings with officials. The police drew up administrative reports against some activists. Late in March, defenders ofВ the parkВ filed aВ lawsuit against the administration ofВ Petrozavodsk toВ recognize the allocation ofВ anВ area ofВ 280В mВІ for the construction ofВ aВ kindergarten illegal, because itВ contradicts the norms ofВ the Town Planning Code. While the claim isВ being considered inВ court, construction inВ the park continues. This land plotВ isВ located inВ the health care facilities zoneВ where pre-school, primary and secondary general educationalВ institutionsВ can beВ built.

Defenders applied to the Department of Economic Security and Combating the Corruption of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Petrozavodsk and the Prosecutor’s office in March. The prosecutor’s investigation ascertained the takeover of 580 m² in the Kamenny Bor Park by the developer, LLC TechExpert, on March 26. The employees of the Prosecutor’s office considered that the administration had committed several violations when issuing permits for the land clearing, the Prosecutor’s office passed on recommendation to the Mayor’s office. It is being under consideration. Pre-investigation check is being carried out in order to estimate damage caused by cutting down the trees in the Kamenny Bor Park.

The work in the park was temporarily put onВ hold during the proceedings with law enforcement agencies.В But the construction continued as soon as TechExpert LLC obtained aВ permit from the Ministry for Economic Development and Industry ofВ the Republic ofВ Karelia toВ work during the period ofВ combating coronavirus.
