Corrections were made only in the declaration. According to Rakhmatullin, the destruction of the structures continued, but not at such a fast pace and paradoxically, as the declarations were changed.
He associated the decrease in the intensity of construction in the center of the capital with the outflow of funds due to the crisis and the long-term demand of society. At the same time, Rakhmatullin expressed a negative attitude towards the appointment of Sobyanin, a major developer, the owner of the Barkli corporation, Kazints. The latter is famous for the fact that at one time it proposed to demolish 70% of the old city.
