Universiade 2019 mustn’t repeat mistakes of Sochi 2014
Press Release, December 4, 2013
Head of YABLOKO Green Russia faction in Krasnoyarsk Alexander Kolotov sent an appeal to Governor of Krasnoyarsk Lev Kuznetsov on the necessity of public environmental control during the preparation for students’ Universiade-2019 in Krasnoyarsk.
“Krasnoyarsk won the right to conduct the students’s Universiade in 2019 and mustn’t repeat the mistakes that were made in Sochi. The city became victim of unaccountable realization of Olympic construction facilities”, runs in the appeal.
According to the ecologists, the forests of Krasnoyarsk can be destroyed to construct sports facilities. Mechanisms of public environmental control should be developed in order to prevent adverse effects.
