The Ryazan administration has threatened to sue the Rostok Children's Society, which is forced to vacate its premises.
Public organization of children and adults with disabilities "Rostok" may be left on the street. The mayor's office demanded that the premises be vacated because the free lease agreement had expired. The organization's director stated this Valentina Podgurskaya told my colleagues.
The 35-year-old organization has occupied the former kindergarten premises since 2003, occupying two floors. Initially, the lease was free and open-ended, but in 2023, the administration set the lease term to three years. It expired on July 10, and on July 21, Podgurskaya received a letter demanding she vacate the premises or face legal action.
"Today I got a call from the administration: 'Valentina Fedorovna, you've been sent an eviction letter; we're seizing the premises.' How can this be? Even if there were questions about some documents, couldn't I have called? They recommended I contact Yasinsky [Mayor Boris Yasinsky] with any questions. Everyone knows that this premises were allocated to us, disabled people, and what a chore it was for us to get it." said Olga, Podgurskaya.
She admitted that she had forgotten about the contract terms because she had recently undergone surgery and today she had a Holter monitor (a heart monitoring system) installed.
High-ranking guests came to Rostok for the housewarming party in this building, including Nikolay Bulaev — at that time — deputy governor of the Ryazan region for social issues, now deputy chairman of the Central Election Commission.
"This is a unique organization. It's doing something the government doesn't have time to do today."- recognized He was 23 years ago.
The premises were renovated with funds from the parents of children with disabilities, and the second floor is now occupied by sports equipment purchased with sponsorship. After the organization's eviction, its residents will have no place to gather, nor will they have space to store their sports equipment and furniture.
