Restoration Work Initiated at Revolutionary Fighters' Plaza
Revamped Renovation Plan for Boretsov Revolutsii Square
Work on the Boretsov Revolutsii Square has recently commenced, according to the city administration's announcement. This renovation project falls under the federal initiative, "Creating a Comfortable Urban Environment," part of the national project "Infrastructure for Life."
Currently, the contractor is working on dismantling old curbs and updating the pedestrian paths. The redesign includes a total overhaul of the sidewalks with granite curbs and paving, cosmetic repairs for memorials, granite cladding for a retaining wall on Lermontov Street, and the installation of a roll-out lawn featuring an automatic irrigation system.
For the sake of visitor comfort, new benches will be installed, and both street lighting and architectural lighting will be improved. Though the square will preserve its historical charm, no significant changes in its composition or essence are planned.
Located on the former General-Governor's Garden territory, this historical site underwent renovation in 2024 as part of the same federal project. Highlighting Anastasia Lalo, head of the department of urban improvement programs in the city administration’s housing department, she emphasized that the renovation of the Boretsov Revolutsii Square will round off the landscaping of the entire General-Governor's Garden territory.
The contract for the work amounts to 89.4 million rubles, with the expectation for the contractor to complete the project by August 1, 2025.
