Izba of Prince Taishin will be transported to Gornoknyazevsk. Changes will take place in the ethnographic complex

Big changes and alterations will take place in the natural and ethnographic complex in the settlement Gornoknyazevsk within the coming two years. This information was given by the director of the department of culture of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug Yevgeniy Koltunov to journalists.

“We have been working on the layout and design for long time. Then the project was presented to the governor of Yamal, and he supported it”, as Yevgeniy Koltunov underlined.

The work is divided into two stages. In 2019 the first part of the work related to improvement of the territory and water removal will be fulfilled, and later platforms for 2020 will be prepared. Some objects will be demolished, and new ones of timber will be installed. In addition, the hut — Izba of Prince Taishin will be transported to the complex, and his new statue will be installed.

Also wooden sidewalks will be replaced with decorative paving stones, even lights will be decorated with ethnic ornament, and the stage will be changed. A cafe or a restaurant will appear on the territory of the complex. According to Yevgeniy Koltunov, now it is under development, in order everything would be expedient and economically profitable.

In his opinion, the main task is that the complex would not become a modern replica. It must not lose its authenticity.

“This project is long-term. It is planned to complete the work in September-October of 2020 before the anniversary of Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug”, as the director of the department noted. (The note: Khanty Prince Taishin was an official representative of the power of the Russian Tsar in Yamal, and Gornoknyazevsk was his summer residence).
