In the Yaroslavl region, the protection of monuments of local importance will be transferred to the regional level

The relevant bill has already been submitted to the regional Duma. The transition is scheduled from January 1 next year.

According to the head of the region Mikhail Evraev, such a change will make it possible to use a unified approach to the preservation of monuments, and therefore promptly carry out control and supervision activities.

It was also noted that currently there are about five thousand historical buildings in the region. More than 400 of them have the status of monuments of local importance.
