It has been revealed where Roma families from Yekaterinburg, whose homes were ordered to be demolished, will move.
It has become known how plans will change for relocating the Roma who live in the private sector on Shakespeare Street in the VIZ district.
In 2024 more than 800 residents registered ownership documents after nearly twenty years of legal disputes over the rights to the land and houses. Initially the camp planned to move as a single community, but it has now been decided to disperse to different destinations.
According to Romani expert Svetlana, who is close to the camp’s representatives, the community will split into three parts.
— The calmest and most well-off families will move to the area of the village of Novoalekseevskoye near Pervouralsk. They have already purchased a large plot of land with their own funds — they chose a site without neighbors. The others plan to move to Aramil and Gorny Shchit, she told E1.RU.
For now the start of the resettlement is being postponed: families will be able to leave their current homes only after developers buy out their property. There are no concrete offers yet, so the camp’s residents assume the dispersal will take place no earlier than 2027.
According to the recollections of a former baron, the camp settled in VIZ as early as 1956. At that time there was a swamp where Shakespeare Street now is: the Roma filled in the land and built houses on grounds that were legal by Soviet standards. However, after the collapse of the USSR it became impossible to register the plots as private property — people had to go to court twice.
The situation flared up again after authorities announced plans to develop the area: by 2035 they plan to build multi-story residential buildings on the site of the Romani settlement and completely relocate the private-sector residents.
