Wheelchair users during the tour checked the Nizhny Novgorod Kremlin for availability

кремль

Moving from the Dmitrov Tower to the Eternal Flame, a group of mobility excursionists listening about GAZ cars, admires St. George the Victorious and drives past the Kremlin wall. This is not just a tourist destination – this is an unofficial commission on Kremlin accessibility.

Handicapped citizens complain about entry into the Kremlin itself, and the lack of information plates on the location of the ramps. Everyone promises to contribute to the Kremlin reconstruction project and fix it for the city’s anniversary.

Danila Voronin - visitor of the tour (Arzamas) : “Familiar places, we traveled a very long time with school, as well as with parents. But all this was not in a wheelchair yet, Now here is the first time this. Looked at the accessible environment, that you can take a walk here, enjoy the view.”

– By 2021, the Kremlin will be rebuilt, he will become different. Arrive to check?
– Sure. You will carefully check?
– Every centimeter.

Proposals for the reconstruction of the historical space are accepted by Andrei Betin, Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. He tells the tourists how the Kremlin will change and presents it in the form of 3 rings. First ring – the inner territory of the Kremlin, Most are unavailable today.. Second – the wall itself.

Andrei Betin - Deputy Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region: “In the 12th year, part of it was closed, Zachatievskaya tower was built in the 14th completed. Today the circle is closed, but the distance from the 2 towers is not open yet. And to 2021 year, for the first time in 200 years will finally be able to walk in a circle along this wall.”

And the last ring – external. Kremlin Boulevard, with slopes and hills.

Today, the only way to get to the Kremlin from Rozhdestvenskaya street, with staples – go through the Ivanovo tower. I’m repairing the neighboring passage, so the only way to go up. They like only sports people., due to the sharpness of its rise. We hope by the year 2021 and this issue will be resolved.

It’s possible to make adjustments thanks to the project “Nizhny Novgorod Region. Affordable hospitality”.
