At least 10,000 rare plants have been destroyed in Zaryadie, the Moscow mayor’s office reports. In less than a few days, visitors have trampled down the rare landscape of the park. In addition, the vandals broke the glass dome over the philharmonic and the window of the media center. Restoration work in "Zaryadye" will begin on Sunday. About how the new park of the capital suffered from the guests - in the “360” material.

Vandals and sloppy visitors

Moscow park "Zaryadie" became a victim of vandals. Just a few days after the discovery, sloppy visitors destroyed at least 10,000 rare plants. Some of them are listed in the Red Book. Guests of “Zaryadya” trampled down part of the unique landscape of the park, which became the basis of its concept. And this is in spite of the signs “Do not walk on lawns” placed throughout the territory.

Some visitors were so impressed with the greenery of the park that they decided to dig them up and take them with them. Zaryadya’s guests didn’t stop at destroying the flora: the day after the opening, the glass dome of the park and the window of the media center were broken. How much time will be spent on restoration work is still unknown. All fragments of the glass "bark" must be created individually for each cell of the structure.

Recoverable

With the restoration of the landscape, everything is also not easy. Destroyed red-book plants for “Zaryadye” were grown in special nurseries. “First of all, it is stonecrop and some types of cereals. The marsh marigold is trampled down and listed in the Red Book. They will be replaced, ”said“ 360 ”head of the department for environmental protection and landscape work“ Zaryadye ”Igor Safiullin.

The expert associates such manifestation of vandalism with a large number of visitors to the park in the first days of the opening - they simply did not have time to follow them. “They just didn't pay attention to the signs. Nobody cares. Ill-bred visitors, ”he concluded.

It will be difficult to bring the “Zaryadie” to its previous form, says the head of the department of biogeography and environmental protection at the Institute of Land Sciences Alexander Egorov. “Bringing plants from different climatic zones and trying to adapt them in Moscow is a great job. It is expensive - it will be difficult to restore them, ”he said in an interview with“ 360 ”. Some types of plants can not be excavated all year round - for this you need to build an expedition at a certain time. The marsh marsh can be easily found in the Moscow region, Egorov said.

Restoration work will begin on September 18 - the park management plans to complete them as soon as possible. Because of this, some adjustments had to be made during the work hours of Zaryadye. Now, on Mondays, it will be possible to get to the park only from 14:00, from Tuesday to Sunday the Zaryadye will be open for visitors from 10:00 to 22:00. “The last entrance to the park will be only at 21 o'clock. Then it works only on the way out. Pavilions are open from 10:00 to 20:00. On Mondays, from 14:00, ”Karina Gorobets, press-secretary of Zaryadya, clarified“ 360 ”.

Save "Zaryadie"

The news of vandalism in the heart of the capital concerned the users of social networks. They even launched the “Save the Charge” flashmob, which contains photos of the park with a special hashtag. Its initiator, press secretary of the Moscow Committee of Architecture, Maria Ulyanova, believes that the action will help draw public attention to this problem. “Social control is necessary so that people are imbued with a problem,” she told RIA Novosti.

Selfies lovers and gardeners

Zaryadie ”is not the only park suffering from the hands of its own visitors. In the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University, for example, selfie lovers sit on a pool and break pots, his technician Daniil Tsarevsky told "360".

Signs of vandalism are regular, but we do not fix them. They come with bags, pull out plants and endure. Not only in the garden, but also in greenhouses. We replace them with other plants and all

Daniel Tsarevsky.

Most often, the green spaces of the “Pharmaceutical town” are simply trampled down or broken down. In order to avoid such cases, guards and small fences are located throughout the park.

The Hermitage Garden was more fortunate - there were no cases of vandalism. “We have a small territory, maybe it allows the security to see everything,” said “360” PR-director of the park Victoria Cheglakova. There are no fences and additional fences in the Hermitage - the territory is completely free. “Probably we have a educated audience - we are in the very center,” Cheglakova said.

In order to replace the plants destroyed by the visitors, the management of the Zaryadye Park will have to purchase about 10 thousand new plants. Igor Safiullin, the head of the park and environmental protection department of the park, told Komsomolskaya Pravda that the greens had not yet taken root, “they had only recently planted it, so they were quickly pulled out of the ground with their hands.”

Basically, the sedge and the marsh marigold were listed in the Red Book of Moscow.

“Both our specialists and the security forces are making every effort to stop the vandals,” Safiullin said. “But the flow of visitors is so large that it’s impossible to keep track of all, even with the help of video cameras.”

The northern landscape suffered the most - 30% of the greenery was trampled there.

In the near future, the park management will begin to restore lawns and the northern landscape, but this will not be easy. “We have a mad rush, a lot of people, and the plants are destroyed in seconds,” Safiullin complained. In addition, all the plants for the park were grown by special order.

Visitors of the park not only step on rare mosses and grasses, but also simply take part of the landscape with them.

“Imagine digging up plants, hiding them in their bags and leaving,” Safiullin is amazed.

Everywhere in the park there are signs “Do not walk on the lawns” and on the speakerphone appeal to the visitors asking them not to destroy Zaryadye.

On the first day after the park was opened to the public, someone damaged the glass “bark” above the philharmonic - after a stone was thrown into one of the triangles, it cracked. The same thing happened with the Media Center - the light window cracked there.

Safiullin said that the glass "bark" and the window had already begun to change. As emphasized in the Mosinzhproekt company that was building the park, the glasses were designed using a special technology and vary in size. Each piece of a translucent structure should be customized to the size of a particular dome cell.

The glass crust partially covers the large amphitheater, on the roof of which is a garden.

It is the world's largest translucent structure without enclosing walls, only on the east side it connects to the concert hall.

Its area is 8.7 thousand square meters. Thanks to 150 solar batteries, the air temperature under the bark is several degrees higher, which allows you to grow thermophilic plants.

The Metropolitan Center of Expertise, Research and Testing in Construction (CERI), which checked the quality of the construction of the “bark”, stated that if you throw a stone on glass, then cracks can actually appear.

Its surface consists of at least three layers connected by a polymer film; therefore, fragments do not fly away and cannot injure visitors.
  Due to the destruction by vandals, the capital park “Zaryadye” changes the mode of operation. As the park director, Pavel Trehleb, explained, a number of restrictions are being introduced in Zaryadye to preserve landscape and architecture.

From September 14, the entrance to the territory, the viewing platform “The soaring bridge” and the pavilions will be carried out at 15-minute intervals. It is noted that this will allow to distribute the flow of visitors and increase control over the objects. Trehleb called limitations a necessary measure.

“If we do not take care of green plants, many of which have suffered as a result of careless actions of visitors, they will die. We already understand that some of the plantations will have to be restored, and after all a lot of work has been done on their selection, order, cultivation and delivery to the park, ”the park director said.

Since September 18, restoration work will begin in Zaryadye. On Mondays, the entrance to the park will be open to visitors from 14.00.

Zaryadye Park was opened by Russian President Vladimir Putin as part of the celebration of the 870th anniversary of Moscow. The right to be the first to visit it was received by schoolchildren from the capital, children from large families and boarding schools pupils. For other visitors, the park was opened on the morning of September 11.

According to preliminary estimates, the park will be visited by 10 million people a year. The area of ​​"Zaryadya" is relatively small - 10.2 hectares, on this territory created four natural zones of Russia: the northern landscape, meadows, steppe, forest.

In total, 760 trees, 7 thousand bushes, 860 thousand perennial plants and 150 thousand annual plants were planted in the park.

Among other rare plants, the park planted arctic raspberries, various cobbles and dwarf birches.

The construction period of the park "Zaryadie" was 2.5 years. The construction of a landscape park at the site of the demolished hotel “Russia” cost the city treasury 14 billion rubles.

Employees of the park "Zaryadie" calculated the losses incurred in the first days of opening. For three days, the vandals destroyed 10 thousand plants and smashed the glass dome of the Philharmonic. This was announced by Igor Safiullin, the head of the department for landscape gardening and nature conservation work at Zaryadye Park. His words leads "KP".

Park "Zaryadie" in the center of Moscow opened on September 9. The first two days were allowed there by invitation, and from Monday everyone can visit the park. According to a park administration official, unknown persons have already smashed one of the glass triangles that make up the roof of the philharmonic hall, throwing a stone at it. Near the pavilion "Reserved Embassy" several floor lamps were missing, and a light window cracked near the roof of the Media Center.

The most severely affected plants. Visitors trampled lawns, and in the northern landscape destroyed about 30% of the green cover. Some campers decided to take a piece of the park with them and started digging up the plants.

Imagine digging up plants, hiding them in their bags and leaving. All the greens have not yet taken root, it has only recently been planted, so they are quickly pulled out of the ground with their hands. This is sedge and marsh marigolds listed in the Red Book of Moscow. And our specialists, and security are making every effort to stop the vandals. But the flow of visitors is so large that it is impossible to keep track of all, even with the help of video cameras

Igor Safiullin.

Soon, Zaryadye will begin to restore the landscape and lawns, but this will not be so easy. Plants were grown on special order, and now employees will have to look for the missing copies in nurseries. Partially have to change the ground. In order to save the park from vandals, they placed signs on the lawns "Do not walk on the lawns."

A park visitor Catherine posted a series of photos from Zaryadye on her Instagram page and was shocked by the behavior of some vacationers. “I do not understand how this can happen in the very heart of the capital. I had no idea that in our country there was such a huge lack of upbringing, ”she said in the commentary under the photo.

Previously, experts explained why it would be extremely difficult to restore the broken glass roof element of the Media Center in Zaryadye. According to them, the parts require special selection, and make them using a special technology.

Well, what kind of people do we have, I am surprised! The Zaryadie Park, open this weekend, lasted exactly two days without damage. This is some kind of vandalism record.

It was necessary to give his design and construction of the Civil Defense and Emergencies, plus the engineering and construction troops. They are accustomed to rely on extreme loads, nuclear bomb explosions and sabotage of a potential enemy. Naryl dugouts, reinforced concrete, anti-tank hedgehogs and barbed wire everywhere - walk, citizens! After all, in another way, you still can not.

Doubts overtook me even on the approach to Vasilyevsky Descent. No FSO, FSB and other cops could not save the walls from here. Apparently, they were heading precisely for Zaryadie ...

At the entrance of the bag are subject to inspection, but is not our person able to carry the object to break heavy-duty glass? Yesterday morning, news agencies broadcast remarkable news: "The glass roof of the media center was attacked by vandals and suffered". On that very day I was planning to finally get inside the ardent park, around which I walked for several months, taking pictures outside. So instead of beautiful photos and enigmatic trills about beauty, you will see how Muscovites and guests of the capital come up with a new landmark.
3.

First of all, the roof of that very Media Center. The dome, thank God, was not damaged.
4.

But one of the skylights got very much. There are a few of them here, for the spectacular lighting of the entire park. They are located just above the media center.
5.

Unknown partisans made their way into the heavily guarded object and delivered a strong blow with a solid object. I must say that the lanterns are covered with a special laminated glass that can withstand a weight of up to 300 kilograms, in case any bodipositive mother with a brood decides to go there. Nobody builds illusions about the effectiveness of the prohibition plates from the first photo - we do not live in Germany. But about the vandals with a hammer (?) Somehow did not think ...
6.

The glass burst without falling asleep. Just cracked in a lot of cells. This, as they say, is a very expensive and complicated product, now it will be changed after two (two, Karl!) Days of operation.
7.

And what about the greenery? Well, as I expected. The Americans, who designed "Zaryad", underestimated the domestic mentality that needed widespread fences and fences. Plates, as I said, do not save. You have seen landfills right under the ad “Do not litter!” And parking at the “Stop is prohibited” sign? The severity of the Russian order is compensated by the lack of enforcement, and mother with affection to look at the children, riding on the lawn, which can not ride.
8.

Looks just defiantly anecdotally. It is clear that the child is not to blame, but where are the parents looking?
9.

"" Natural landscapes of Russian regions "" will not last long. After all, we do not distinguish between lawns for rest and for inspection, and the Americans did not instruct us to take fences, we wanted to do with a flowing tile so that, as in civilization.
10.

Trample everything from young to old. Selfies are more important.
11.


12.

Oh, there is not enough here in the protection of the legendary Frunzik Mkrtychan. He would bring order! The current is not yet cope ...

Selfer predatory plow the same dome, striving to take a better position, and preferably right on the roof, while they are driven away. But what will happen when the park enters the normal mode and the security is reduced?
13.

Others calmly tear grass, for example.
14.

These plants are left to live a few days, a herd of buffaloes just trampled them ...
15.

Others simply ripped off for some reason and abandoned. Minds incomprehensible, who needed. Maybe just kids naughty?
16.

Thank God, while the back of the amphitheater has not yet been handed over and is not washed off. Here bylvasi train on a dusty glass. When it is washed, it will be transferred to other surfaces, most likely wooden. And then you will be able to read who and when visited "Zaryad", and whom you loved at the same time. This is very important information!
17.

Eh, I would not want to finish the report like this! Nevertheless, 99% of park visitors are quite normal and sane people. And they are here - legion. The park is simply extremely popular, rate:

Ordinary people calmly lying on the lawns, the benefit of their darkness here. Communicate, surf in the internet, have lunch or kiss. The reddish September sun caresses them, gives them the last warm days.
18.

Let's still decorate a beautiful new park, and not to tear it down))
19.

Have you already managed to go to Zaryadye and break it? What did you like and what didn't?
