Not long ago, an initiative group from the Krylatskoye district approached us with a request to create an alternative redevelopment project for the natural area of the Krylatskie Hills. The need to create the project arose because a significant part of the residents disagree with the project currently being implemented. Over the past few months, to protect the Krylatskie Hills, residents have been keeping round-the-clock watch to prevent heavy machinery access, recording various violations during the work, writing a huge number of appeals, collecting signatures, and with our help, developing their own project.

Residents believe that if redevelopment is to be done in such a unique place, it should be thoughtful and cause minimal harm to nature, but not standard. Because the Krylatskie Hills are truly a unique place, home to animals, plants, and insects listed in the Moscow Red Book, such as hares, weasels, stoats, foxes, owls, various species of bees and bumblebees, and plants unique to Moscow. Besides its natural value, the Krylatsky Hills also have cultural and historical significance.

There's a church here that's considered a cultural heritage site, there are archaeologically interesting remains of ancient settlements, and the Hermitage houses a painting by Albert Adam showing Napoleon's troops on the Krylatsky Hills before entering Moscow. Now, someone wants to build a mountain bike trail on this hill.
