Nothing like real estate speculators to diminish humanity. Look for the corrupt political connections.

With respect, the guardians of Pavlovsk station may be going about this the wrong way.

Russians are particularly proud. The administrators and horticulturists might get farther with the line “…we agree with this land use decision. Of course the station’s work is important and must continue. We have several offers of new sites under consideration, including Georgia, China, the US, Germany, Dubai, Brazil…”

I bet that would get some attention in the Motherland!

This is one of those things that 100 years from now people will be saying “how did they let that happen?”
