The interim governor of St. Petersburg, Alexander Beglov, said that the building where the Kresty SIZO was previously located could be set up as an art object with hotels, restaurants and museums.


“The object is very interesting, it is practically in the center of the city. There, it seems to me, we need to make an art object, an appropriate hotel, some restaurants, museums. This is popular abroad, ”Beglov quotes TASS.

The old building of the Crosses acquired its current configuration in 1890. Since 1964, the facility has become the detention facility No. 1.

Last year, the Nevskiye Novosti portal reported that quadrocopters flying to SIZO-1 (“Crosses”) were intercepted in St. Petersburg.
