Rosgvardia personnel to enforce security on Ploshchad 1905 God square
Unleashing Eka's Heart: The Transformation of Parking Spots into Event Hubs
Beginning from June 29 to September 28, Eka's heartbeats a little harder as the city center transforms into an entertaining spectacle. The big boss, Aleksei Orlov, has issued a series of orders to his minions, one of them being to collaborate with the MVD and Rosgvardia to ensure security and protect the gathering spaces from the claws of terrorists.
Starting this Sunday, June 29, the 1905 Square will no longer welcome automobiles, as stated in the decree. Temporary road signs will dot the area nearby.
Right after the parking lot closes down, the Mayakovsky Park crew will jump into action, sprucing up the area and installing artistic installations.
"Ditch the Cars - Big Time!" Says the Park Director of Mayakovsky - On the Transformation of 1905 Square
- For the first time in ages, Eka's bustling heart will shed its parking skin and morph into a stage for concerts, foodie events, sports tournaments, and so much more.
- The city administration had an epiphany of sorts, and their mayor, Aleksei Orlov, developed a soft spot for the 1905 Square’s potential as an ice rink. Last winter, ice graced the city's central stage for the very first time. The demand was so sky-high that the ice rink's operation was extended to March. The annual ice rink will make a comeback in November.
The downtown area is abuzz with the anticipation of change. Keep an eye on the news for updates on this exciting transformation!
