20 meters from the dolmen complex in Krasnaya Polyana … a fence appeared. Let me remind you that on the left bank of the Beshenka River, not far from each other, there are a number of ancient burial ritual structures of the Bronze Age. Megaliths are under state protection. According to the law, the protected area around the monument is 50 meters. But the fence is set much closer. Our film crew went to the scene and tried to find out the details.
Already on the way to the dolmen complex, right along the path, a fence is clearly visible, which has a gate, which has been carefully locked by someone. Rare passers-by, among whom we were fortunate enough to meet residents of the village of Krasnaya Polyana, do not know anything about the owners of the building. They are unhappy with the appearance of the fence.
One of 6 dolmens is located in the immediate vicinity of the fence. It is a monument under state protection. According to the law, the territory 50 meters away from it is a security zone. Whoever installed this fence on the demand did not give a damn about it.
Promotional video:
But what preceded the appearance of the fence. This footage was taken last fall by our film crew, when we found freshly cut trees and a road leading to a cleared meadow five meters from the megalith. On the hillock, traces of uprooting and movement of soil were clearly visible. The site was clearly cleaned up, despite the fact that this extreme dolmen has not yet been studied by scientists!
Even then, some of the trees were cut down, some were marked with red paint and tied with a signal tape for the fence. Today there is a fence here. True, on the one hand, he was thrown to the ground and nothing prevents him from entering. There are no signs or announcements prohibiting entry on it. Unlike the fence itself - the posts for the fence are made thoroughly - they are concreted. Almost all greenery has been cut down on the fenced area. A building shed is installed here. A bunk bed with mattresses and pillows is clearly visible through the dirty glass. There were traces of a fire near the trailer.
Let me remind you that our film crew has been working on the topic of the safety of the Krasnaya Polyana complex of dolmens for several years. We have once again made relevant inquiries to various departments. Deputies of the Sochi City Council were the first to respond.
According to the deputy of the Sochi City Council, the dolmen complex has been examined, its condition is normal and nothing threatens it. True, we have not yet waited for answers to the questions about who built the fence in the restricted area, why this territory was fenced, and what purpose the construction trailer was installed for, but we are extremely counting on this and will definitely return to this topic.
