9 September in Moscow opened the park "Zaryadye", created on the site of the hotel "Russia", right near the Kremlin. Through 2 day work, vandals trampled 10 thousands of plants.

Visitors to the park dug up plants, hid in bags and left. Among the plants was marsh marigold, listed in the Red Book of Moscow.

“Unfortunately, visitors have trampled plants and lawns, especially in the northern landscape zone. It destroyed almost 30 percent of the green cover. But we can relax on the grass not everywhere, but only in special places, ”said Igor Safiullin, head of the park and environmental protection department of the park.

In addition, visitors damaged the construction of the "glass bark" dome.

To preserve the landscape and architecture of the park, the management decided to limit the visit to Zaryadye. From September 14, the entrance to the territory, the “Floating Bridge” viewing platform and the pavilions will be made at 15-minute intervals. This will help distribute the flow of visitors and increase control over the objects.

In turn, the Moscow City Hall refused to consider the damage to the park as vandalism.

“I think this is just a big interest, a great demand for the park. And he just can not yet accommodate it, so now we will make a normal schedule that allows the park to work and rest, and there will be no problems. It’s just a big event, there are many who want it, ”said Moscow Deputy Mayor Anastasia Rakova.
