Partial demolition of the former Kresty pre-trial detention center begins in Saint Petersburg
Demolition of part of the buildings has begun on the territory of the legendary Saint Petersburg detention center Kresty: the block for preparing inmates for escort has been dismantled. The complex was sold to the KVS group in 2025 for 1.1 billion rubles; according to the authorities' plans, hotels, a museum and a promenade will appear here, and the reconstruction is promised to be completed by 2030.
