28 June , 2023  

Pavilion “Kviti-Kvity Ukrainy” in Kiev is for sale for $5 million, according to an announcement on OLX.
“Well-wishers”, who tried to destroy “Kviti Ukrainy”, put the building-monument for sale. In the description of the proposal there is no important information – the object in the courts and belongs to the cultural heritage of Kiev”, – wrote in Facebook a member of the public council at the Podolsk district state administration of Kiev, the former Director of “UkrNIIprojectrestravratiya” Olga Rutkovskaya.
She stressed that the sale of the pavilion is possible only with the approval of the Department of cultural heritage of the Kyiv City State Administration.
Initiative group “Zberegty Kviti Ukrainy” supported the idea of selling the building, taking into account the scandalous attempt of its owners to reconstruct the pavilion without saving its architectural elements.
“We are ready to support the new owner in the dialogue with the community and the building’s architect Nikolay Levchuk in facilitating a new thoughtful reconstruction project. We are also ready to transfer to the new owner all our preliminary ideas about the possible models of using the building,” the group says.
In his turn, Alexey Erinchak, the founder of Sens bookstore-cafe, put forward a proposal to buy the building from the owners through public crowdfunding and to open offices for urbanists and a bookstore in the pavilion.
In 2021, the pavilion’s developer reportedly began dismantling part of the building, causing a public outcry. Later in August 2021 the educational pavilion “Kviti Ukrainy” received the status of a discovered object of cultural heritage of Kiev and also was included in the register of state monuments of the Ministry of Culture.
According to Opendatabot, the owners of “Kviti Ukraini” are Avialine JSC, the main shareholders of which are Alexey Pyshny and Andrey Skalozub.
