In St. Petersburg, a selective demolition of buildings on the territory of the famous detention center “Crosses” began. Workers have already completely dismantled the building, where the prisoners were preparing for transfer. RIAMO writes about it.
In this corps, prisoners were distributed before boarding in a special transport to be sent from the institution. Now brigades continue to actively demolish other infrastructure facilities on the territory.
Recall that the entire complex of the former prison in 2025 bought the construction company “KVS” at auction for 1.1 billion rubles. Under the terms of the deal, the developer pledged to preserve key historic buildings of the old insulator.
What exactly this place will become, was shown at SPIEF-2026 in June. At the stand of the Northern capital presented a detailed layout of “Crosses” in a completely new format – in the form of public space.
