A square named after Lieutenant General will open on Lenin Avenue. Roman Kutuzov, who died in the war in Ukraine. It cost the budget almost 15 million rubles (according to other sources, over 17 million rubles), пis looking for Telegram channel "Tenet".
For now, the bust of Kutuzov, already in the park where people are strolling, is covered with a black plastic bag. The unveiling of the bust and the park is scheduled for Vladimir City Day, September 2. Previously, it was planned to open on August 1, but the contractor missed the deadline.
The improvement of the park did not go smoothly: city residents вwere outraged The contractor's treatment of the trees—they were covered with paving stones, leaving about a meter of earth at the base of the trunks. At the same time, Vladimir residents expressed their opinion: the haphazard landscaping is not a memorialization, but a desecration of memory. There were other comments as well: "Many people sacrificed their lives to save many people—emergency workers, police, and others, and even people caught in the middle of disasters became heroes. So why aren't there any parks or streets named after them? Simply because this war was the end of the world?".
The death of Vladimir native Lieutenant General Roman Kutuzov became known in early June 2022. Reports claimed the general had traveled to the front lines and was caught in Ukrainian artillery fire. The authorities declared Kutuzov had "accomplished a heroic deed," but did not specify what exactly.

Despite significant opposition from Vladimir residents, Prazhskoy Kommuny Street was renamed Hero of Russia Kutuzov Street. At the time, residents sarcastically suggested not to waste time on trifles, but to rename the city outright.
