Today a house in which the writer Dimitar Dimov lived briefly was demolished, located on a street that bears his name. The Save Sofia organization showed a video of how this happened on Facebook.
A BTV report the other day revealed that a project will replace two new buildings. The Ministry of Culture has issued an opinion that the house “does not have the status of an immovable cultural asset within the meaning of the Cultural Heritage Law.”
The mayor of the Lozenets region, Konstantin Pavlov, told the media that the residents had appealed to the courts the building permit, the visa and the detailed development plan. All three appeals were withdrawn and in the end there was simply no choice but to issue the permit.
The writer’s daughter, writer Teodora Dimova, commented on Facebook on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of her death on April 1: I’m not sure this is the best way to honor her memory.
Dimova clarified that the house actually belonged to the writer’s first wife, the famous translator Nelly Dospevska (artist Stanislav Dospevski’s great-granddaughter), and Dimov himself lived there for only a few months, from late fall 1944 to early spring. . 1945. The house-museum of the author of “Tabaco” is located in the same neighborhood, but on 26 Krastyu Sarafov street, where he has lived for the last 12 years of his life.
“Save Sofia” sees in the demolition of an old original building another erasure of the spirit of the city. Councilor Boris Bonev also points out that on the grounds of a single-family building now two blocks will be built, whose residents the neighborhood infrastructure is not able to take.
“It is very sad, but the district administration must and can only act within the law, and if the problem is in the law, it must be changed to protect the public interest. It is also necessary if the state considers someone private property. be public .value, to justly compensate its owners, because it is the right thing to do, “the mayor of Lozenets wrote on Facebook. Remember that the state does not have a registry of cultural monuments, which means that the municipality does not have a base to which to add cultural monuments.
