Dear Sirs,
We would like to draw your attention to outrageous and shocking events, which are taking
place in the Novodevichy Convent in Moscow, Russia.
The Novodevichy Convent is a prominent monument of the 16-17
centuries. It was included by UNESCO in the World Heritage List. There are
several churches and a cemetery in the Convent. Now the Convent’s cemetery is being destroyed.
Here are the details of the inscription:

The monastery cemetery that is
situated between the Smolensky Cathedral, the Uspeniya
Church (the Church of Assumption)
and the wall that separates the monastery from the Novodevichy cemetery is partly
destroyed. There’s a lawn on its place, left and broken headstones are piled up
near the wall towards the Novodevichy cemetery that is not a part of the
ensemble of the Novodevichy Convent. We are unaware of its future destiny.
Here are the photos:
Other headstones are
neighbours of just built garages. Here are the photos:
Though, Russia is a party to
the World Heritage Convention and it is obliged to conserve all World Heritage
sites situated in its territory including the Novodevichy Convent, the above
has happened.
Under article 35 of the
Federal Law of Russia on Objects of Cultural Heritage (Historical and Cultural
Monuments) of the Russian Federation nations it’s prohibited to project and
carry out earth, construction, land-improvement and other works on the
territory of a monument or an ensemble except works for conserving this
monument or ensemble as well as its territory.
How can garages appear in such
a place? Moreover, there’s another construction site on the territory of the
ensemble of the Novodevichy Convent. It’s still unclear what will be there. All
this breaches the provisions of the international law and the Russian
legislation.
We called to the press service
of the Historic Museum (the Novodevichy Convent is its
branch). They said that they didn’t know about such occurrences and asked to
call directly to the Convent. The administration of the Convent cannot be reached
by phone. The press service also confirmed that the Ensemble of the Novodevichy
Convent is in joint administration of the Historic Museum
and the Orthodox Church.
We ask you to investigate it
because the Novodevichy Convent being a part of the World Heritage is under serious
threat.
Best regards,
