Investigators examining the lawfulness of remunerated photo shoots in the Dendropark
In the city of Yekaterinburg, a controversy has arisen over the regulation of fees for commercial activities such as photo shoots and events in city dendroparks, particularly on holidays like May 1st (International Workers' Day) and March 8th (International Women's Day).
The investigation was initiated following a complaint by State Duma deputy Andrey Alshёvских, who expressed concerns about the legality of these charges. However, the provided search results do not contain any relevant information regarding the specific legal basis for these fees.
Typically, the use of public parks, including dendroparks, for commercial activities in Yekaterinburg is governed by local municipal laws and regulations. These may specify which dates permit such activities, whether special permits are required, and if fees apply.
To determine a specific legal basis, one would need to consult the official Yekaterinburg city administration regulations or the city's public land use policies. Additionally, any special provisions related to these holidays must be checked, as some public spaces may have restrictions or fee exemptions on significant dates.
Without access to current Yekaterinburg city codes or official regulations, it is not possible to confirm definitively whether there is a legal basis for charging fees specifically on May 1st and March 8th. For authoritative information, contacting the Yekaterinburg city administration or reviewing their official legal documentation on park usage and event permits is recommended.
Meanwhile, many residents of Yekaterinburg have expressed concern about possible restrictions on access to public spaces. The city administration has emphasised that the rules only apply to commercial activities. Regular visitors can take photos for free in the city dendroparks, according to the city administration.
There is no official order introducing the fee for photo shoots in the dendropark, and notices posted on fences in the dendropark lack legal force, according to deputy Alshёvskich. The park administrators attribute the charges to park improvement and plant purchases.
The results of the prosecutor's investigation into the legality of charging for photo shoots and commercial events in city dendroparks will be made public in the near future. It's difficult to determine whether photography is commercial, as noted by deputy Alshёvskich.
In a separate matter, the situation regarding electric scooter movement in Yekaterinburg is currently being considered. The location of potential restrictions on electric scooter movement in the city has not been specified in the article.
