It has become known why the ice town in Yekaterinburg is being torn down so quickly.

      Already this Sunday, January 18, the ice town in the Historical Square in Yekaterinburg will be dismantled. Many wondered why the location lasted so briefly. In fact, less than three weeks.

      As reported on the Telegram channel "Yekaterinburg Main", the main reason is the cost of maintenance.

      "The answer is simple: it's expensive. That's cleaning, electricity, and security costs. As is known, just before the opening the police issued a requirement that licensed security guards be stationed at each of the entrances, who had to be found urgently. How to find the money to pay them. So — until January 18," wrote the channel close to the mayor's office.

      By the way, of all the major New Year locations this year the ice town was visited by the fewest people. 150,000 people, Mayor Alexey Orlov reported earlier.
