A major reconstruction is underway at the Memorial to the Victims of Fascism in Dubossary. They are implementing a project developed many years ago. It is about perpetuating the memory of more than 18 thousand murdered civilians mostly representatives of Jewish nationality. They were shot in September 1941. There are 11 mass graves at the memorial. They are the basis of the complex, which is being reconstructed (and built in fact) under the capital investment program. Work under the Capital Investment Fund began in 2023. The object is transferable. 4 million rubles have been allocated. Working issues were discussed today in the course of the meeting with the President. They mentioned at the same time that the first construction work here began in 1948. The head of the Dubossary Jewish community Ozias Ukshteyn said that he has been personally involved in this issue for 36 years. A new project was developed in 2010. No serious progress has been made in its implementation until now. The current stage - under the capital investment program is a real breakthrough, the activist considers. He expressed gratitude to the republic's leadership for this opportunity.
The meeting participants discussed the details of architectural solutions, moments related to information and historical aspects, landscape features that need to be taken into account. For example, they discussed the number of arches. It was planned initially to build 12 large and 22 smaller ones. The question of quantity remains open for now.
They talked about building materials. Contractors try to use local ones. Specialists have complaints about the quality, they told the President. The bricks from the purchased batch were brought to the meeting for clarity. The builders consider that they do not meet the GOST of the declared brand. The President ordered that the entire batch be checked. The bricklaying has been suspended until an official conclusion is received. Vadim Krasnoselsky emphasized that the facility is not being built for a year or two, but for decades.
The PMR President informed that he is planning an inspection visit to Dubossary this week and will definitely visit the memorial complex.
