As many as 137 families who bought apartments in an apartment building at 9 Kadetskaya Ulitsa in Krasnodar lost their property when the building was demolished last week, AIF reported.
Last November, a Krasnodar court ruled that the 3-story apartment building on Kadetskaya Ulitsa was built without proper authorization and needed to be removed. The authorities were also pressing charges against the construction company that built it.
The people who bought apartments in the building held a protest to attract the attention of the government and media.
But local authorities were uncompromising and went on with the demolition, while protesters were dispersed by the police.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
