The meeting was chaired by the Head of the Polevsk City District Konstantin Sergeevich Pospelov.
At the beginning, Archpriest Sergiy Rybchak, Dean of the Polevsk District of the Yekaterinburg Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, and Khaidar Khantimirov, head of the Tatar-Bashkir community of the Polevsk District, chairman of the MMRO Nur Mahalla No. 2543, took the floor. They spoke about the rich traditions of interreligious and interethnic friendship that have developed in the municipality over the course of decades.
The city allocated land on the street. Pavlik Morozov for the construction of an Orthodox church and a mosque, which will be located at a distance of only 300 meters from each other. The initiators of the construction - the rector of the local religious organization Parish of the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the city of Polevskoy, priest Nikita Zabolotnov and the imam-hatib of the Muslim religious organization Nur Islam Mahalla, Polevskoy district, Sverdlovsk region, Nazip Latypov, said that the project documentation is already ready and the organizations are ready to start construction , however, they complained that the cost of building materials had risen significantly, as a result of which the initial cost of construction increased by 35%. As a result, the planned construction time is likely to increase significantly.
After that, the floor was given to the invited guest, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor of the Theology Department of the Ural State Mining University Alexei Nikolaevich Starostin, who presented a report on the topic “Organization of interagency cooperation between regional and municipal authorities, public and religious organizations on the construction of religious buildings, taking into account the agreed public opinion." In it, with references to various legal acts, he spoke in detail about all stages of the construction of places of worship from obtaining a land allotment to putting the facility into operation and registering the right to land as the property of a religious organization. He paid special attention to how to avoid various conflict situations with the public at various stages of the construction of religious objects, talking about typical mistakes that have been made in other Russian municipalities in recent years.
“Taking into account public opinion is not only a vital necessity, but also a procedure provided for by law, especially when allocating land plots to religious organizations,” the speaker noted. “If this does not happen, or the procedure for public hearings or public discussion was carried out incorrectly, this can disrupt the process of building a religious building and spoil the interethnic and interreligious climate in the municipality.”
The speaker answered in detail the numerous questions of the audience, because the information presented in the report was extremely relevant for the audience. At the end, the head of the city presented the guest with a letter of thanks, and Alexey Starostin wished the residents of Polevskoy, as it has always been done here, to live in peace and harmony, solving all emerging issues amicably and jointly.
