Krasnodar residents demanded a meeting with the mayor.

Participants in the video appeal called on Mayor Yevgeny Naumov to attend a face-to-face meeting with residents of the Yubileiny microdistrict who oppose the embankment development.

As reported by "Kavkazsky Uzel," the public discussion of plans to build a church on the embankment in Krasnodar's Yubileiny microdistrict lasted a week, but not everyone was able to participate. Residents distributed leaflets and held pickets. Activists from the Yubileiny microdistrict submitted a request to the administration for a rally against development in a green space on October 18. However, they were only permitted to protest in Klenovy Park, located ten kilometers from the microdistrict. Authorities also refused to approve rallies on October 26 and November 9. Krasnodar authorities rejected all residents' objections to the development on Rozhdestvenskaya Embankment but acknowledged reports from supporters of the church construction. Activists called the administration's actions a mockery. Residents are confident that only the attention of federal authorities will prevent the construction of the church. Together with representatives of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, they began collecting signatures demanding the resignation of Krasnodar Mayor Yevgeny Naumov.

Residents of the Yubileiny microdistrict recorded a video appeal to the mayor of Krasnodar. The appeal was published today by the Telegram channel 93.ru. At the beginning of the recording, the assembled activists chant three times: "Naumov, come out to the people." About 40 people took part in the recording.

"Dear Mayor, please hear our request. We want a face-to-face conversation with you, here in our neighborhood. We have something to say, we need your presence, we need a dialogue with you," says one of the participants in the appeal.

Another participant in the appeal says that security forces interfere with such gatherings, and it's surprising that they are not present during the recording of the appeal, although, as a rule, they ignore actions that disturb the peace of the neighborhood's residents.

This embankment is the only place in the neighborhood where people can gather, relax, and children can roller skate, another resident said.

As of 11:55 PM Moscow time, the post had garnered 13 comments on the Telegram channel, which has 29,800 subscribers.

"People of YMR, you I admire your persistence and desire to achieve the truth! I love YUMR and I'm rooting for you with all my heart! "I really want the real voice of the people to finally be heard...", wrote Ekaterina V.

"The townspeople persistently ask the mayor to meet, but he also persistently continues to pretend that he doesn't notice them," commented Vadim Kolosov.
