EKATERINBURG, Russia. Today the protest meeting at the place of the demolished historical monument, Yarutin's House in Ekaterinburg, was organized. The popular Russian rock-band Chaif initiated the gathering of the architects and all those not indifferent to the destiny of the "old town" architecture. Yarutin's House was located in the very heart of the downtown and was demolished one night without any (legal and material) trace left... So sad when the city famous for its "merchant houses" - officially protected by the state as historical monuments - loses its face and becomes another glass-n-steel monster cloned endlessly... Anti-Utopian tomorrow's starting now.
