Roads

Odessa-Reni Highway

As of October 2011, the Odessa-Reni highway is one of the most painful problems in the region. Reni is a small district center located on the left bank of the Danube, almost at the junction of the borders of Ukraine, Moldova and Romania. Strategic position for transportation. Therefore, it was decided to build a new road from Odessa to Reni. The existing one has to be regularly repaired, during the Danube spill the route is blocked in places. Regional Governor Eduard Matviychuk announced the cost of the project - $3 billion. Back in February 2011, the president ordered the construction of the highway to begin, but the search for funds continues to this day[1].

Industry

Science and technology parks

As of October 2011, the governor of the region and the vice-president of the Chinese corporation Sinomach agreed to place a technopark in the Comintern region. Sinomach is a large state-owned industrial group that owns the largest enterprises in China's engineering industry. According to the estimates of the Chinese side, already at the first stage of construction, the amount of funds raised for the development of the project may amount to - $300 million[1].

Urban IT Systems

Video surveillance system

In Ukraine, a municipal video surveillance system in Odessa was launched in 2017. The system allows you to automatically record offenses around the clock, recognize faces and license plates. In addition, she can search for people by photos. 562 cameras with a 360-degree viewing angle are connected to the system.

Coastal waters

As of October 2011, the project for the treatment of coastal waters of Odessa from sewage is known as the Deep Water Discharge wastewater disposal system with a cost, according to design estimates, of UAH 585 million. After commissioning, the system will allow wastewater to be drained from Odessa to the sea at a distance of four kilometers from the coast, and not 150 m, as before. The idea of ​ ​ throwing purified wastewater away into the sea has found its opponents - disputes about the benefits and harms to the environment do not subside until now. The project was approved by the government in late 2010. One of the most powerful pumping stations in Ukraine has already been built (design capacity - 400 thousand cubic meters. m per day), about 7 km of main pipelines were laid - from the pumping station to the sea. And in May 2011, they began to lay a pipe along the bottom of the sea with a diameter of two meters and a length of 4 km[1].

Resort areas

Arcadia

As of October 2011, the investor is ready to allocate about 800 million UAH to turn Arcadia into a supercourt. With this money, a Ukrainian investor unnamed by the authorities is ready to erect a 20-story five-star hotel with a water park, a restaurant and a banquet hall on the site of the Luxor nightclub near the central alley. It is known that there will be more than a hundred rooms at the hotel. Staying in the most expensive suites will cost $600 a day. A large shopping center will be located nearby, and the main Arcadia Avenue will be ennobled - there will be new benches and urns[1].

Byzantium

In October 2011, the Byzantium project involves the creation of an artificial island with an area of ​ ​ 40 hectares off the Odessa coast - similar to the Emirati islands. The previous mayor of Odessa, Eduard Hurwitz, planned to make the island an entertainment center, even talked about the "eviction" of casinos and slot machines there. Of course, the plans include the construction of the best and most expensive hotels and entertainment centers. The island was planned to be made on stilts, instead of roads - canals with sea trams. The idea was included in the urban planning concept of the development of Odessa. Officials expected to implement it for $1.5-2 billion received from investors. However, billions have not yet appeared, as has[1] Island[1].

Power supply

2022: Defeat of many objects of the Russian Armed Forces during the conflict

The distribution of electricity for Odessa with a voltage of 330 kV in 2023 was organized through one key node - the Usatovo substation.

It suffered the most from the strikes of the RF Armed Forces: two 330/110kV autotransformers were destroyed, and the third burned down from overvoltage. But the substation can still redistribute the energy received from the Moldavian State District Power Plant and the South Ukrainian NPP to neighboring 330 kV substations - Novoodesskaya and Adzhalyk.

They were also struck: one of two 330/110kV autotransformers was hit. A similar situation is developing at the Arcise substation.

Judging by open sources, the total transformer capacity with its own generation for February 2023 is only a third of the previous one - about 471.7 MW (out of 1332 MW). This is critically not enough for Odessa.

2011: Controversy over the construction of the Marazlievskaya substation in Shevchenko Park

According to information as of October 2011, uninterrupted provision of residents of the center of Odessa with electricity will "fly in" at UAH 370 million. A new state-of-the-art substation, Marazlievskaya, is to be erected near the astronomical observatory in Shevchenko Park, sparking heated controversy. It is planned that the substation will have an area of ​ ​ 54 by 32 m and reach 22 m in height. At the same time, the building will go underground for another 7 m. This project has become one of the most discussed in Odessa politics. So, in September 2011, the city prosecutor protested the decision to build a substation, but the deputies of the city council, after a long discussion, rejected his protest[1].

Sports facilities

Chernomorets Stadium

As of October 2011, UAH 3 billion was invested in the reconstruction of the Odessa Chernomorets stadium. It has existed since Stalinist times, but in our time they decided to rebuild it, especially since Odessa hoped to host the Euro 2012 matches. Despite the fact that South Palmyra was not included in the list of host cities after all, the reconstruction of the stadium, which has been going on for more than three years, is already coming to an end. According to the management of the Chernomorets football club, in mid-November 2011 the first match will be held on the field - the sailors will play with the Lviv Carpathians. After the opening, the stadium will be ready to receive 34 thousand fans. Future plans include the construction of a nearby sports center[1] Hotel].

Odessa agglomeration

In November 2012, it became known that the Odessa City Hall and the regional state administration intend to begin the formation of an urban agglomeration. This, according to 048.ua, said the chief architect of Odessa Nikolai Bazan.

"Both the chief architect of the region Natalya Erokhina and I advocate that planning of the agglomeration territories begin as soon as possible," he stressed, calling this process "long and difficult." As an example of the creation of agglomerations on the territory of the CIS, Bazan cited the project "Big Moscow" (from July 1, 2012, officially the borders of the Russian capital expanded due to land in the south-west of the Moscow region to the Kaluga region).

The issue of changing the borders of Odessa is within the competence of the Verkhovna Rada and the government. When it will be submitted to parliament for discussion, the message does not specify.

Local authorities have been talking about the need for the official registration of the Odessa agglomeration for several years. According to Timer, the so-called "Big Odessa" may include the cities of Ilyichevsk, Yuzhny, Teplodar, Belyaevka, Ovidiopol, as well as a number of suburban villages, in particular, Kryzhanovka, Fontanka, Black Sea, Dalnik, Khlebodarskoye, Aleksandrovka, Velikodolinskoye, Avangard. The total population in the agglomeration will be about 1.2 million people.

According to the newspaper, as part of the official registration of the agglomeration, Odessa should be transformed into a city-region of central subordination (in Ukraine, the cities of central subordination are already Kyiv and Sevastopol). Then it will include satellite cities and suburban villages. This reform will be able to integrate their residents into the economic, social, cultural and transport infrastructure of Odessa. The city authorities, in turn, will have the opportunity to develop a new master plan, taking into account the increased territory.

Suburbs

Heatgift

In 2011, representatives of the regional leadership and the Chinese corporation Citele approved an agreement on the creation of a technopark in the city of Teplodar. They initially planned to implement 3 projects at the first stage - to transfer the existing enterprise for the production of detergents to the technopark, to create capacities for the production of pesticides and anti-corrosion coating for large-diameter pipes. Later it was already mentioned about 12 enterprises. According to the plan, the technopark should work in Teplodar in 5 years[1].

Port South

Шаблон:Main 'Port South

Port Yuzhny is a non-freezing deep-sea commercial sea port on the Maly Adzhalyk (Grigoryevsky) estuary in the northwestern part of the Black Sea, 30 km east of the city of Odessa.

Russian language status

On August 13, 2012, it became known that in Odessa, the Russian language was officially assigned the status of regional. Such a decision, as reported by "Ukrainian News," was made by the city council at an extraordinary session. 73 deputies out of 120 voted for this[2]. This decision is based on the law "On the Basics of State Language Policy."

During the discussion in the city council, deputy Alexei Kosmin referred to the results of the latest census. "More than 10 percent of the population lives in Odessa, who consider Russian to be their native language," he said. In turn, the mayor of the city, Alexei Kostusev, said that almost 90 percent of Odessa residents consider communication in Russian more comfortable.

The regional status provides, in particular, that the texts of decisions made by the City Council should be published, among other things, in Russian (and not only in Ukrainian). The Russian language can also be used in workflow, in communication and correspondence of citizens with authorities.

Regional status also provides for the use of the Russian language (along with the state language) in plates and signs. As for advertising products placed in the city, it can be in both Russian and Ukrainian (at the request of the advertiser).

The local publication "Думская.net" reports that during the session the building of the municipality on Dumskaya Square was fenced with turnstiles. Security measures were strengthened there. True, as noted, there were no protests near the municipality: a rally of nationalists from the Freedom party took place in another place - near the building of the regional administration (the publication believes that the activists were mistaken by the address).

Recall that in the past (even at the time when Viktor Yushchenko held the post of president of Ukraine) in a number of cities, local authorities gave the Russian language a regional status. However, the prosecutor's office later sought to overturn these decisions in the courts.

2023: Listing a port, military mall and ship repair plant on UNESCO's list of protected sites for future accusations against Russia

In April 2023, amid the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azulay paid a visit to Odessa. A senior UN official presented a certificate confirming that the center of the Old City of Odessa became a world heritage site and came under UN protection.

However, there is a nuance in this situation: the area designated by the UN Organization for Education, Science and Culture is much smaller than the real borders of the historical center of Odessa, the so-called "Southern Palmyra."

Unexpectedly, the Odessa Commercial Sea Port and the adjacent infrastructure, which includes shipyard No. 2 and a railway station, entered under UN protection. In addition, civilian infrastructure near the port, such as administration buildings, educational institutions and various hotels and hotels, came under protection - everything that can be used to live in the military and store important cargo.

The head of UNESCO only fulfilled her mission to designate the territory of the port of Odessa, which is important for the West, which plays an important role as a logistics hub from Europe to Ukraine and in the opposite direction, the Rybar channel noted.

Ships under the cover of a grain deal deliver the necessary military cargo to Ukraine through the corridor, and by reverse route they export all the most valuable things that are in Ukraine. And the rail line near the sea harbour makes it much easier to get both ways.

Such actions by UNESCO do not provide any guarantees of protection against missile damage, but in the event of attacks on the port infrastructure or any hotel in this zone, Russia will be accused of purposefully destroying "historical objects important for the whole world."

This case clearly shows that the United Nations and the institutions under its control have long ceased to act as independent bodies for maintaining international peace and security. The UN has finally become a biased structure, completely ineffective and lost its objectivity.

History

2014: More than 40 residents burned by Nazis at Union House

On May 2, 2014, more than 40 civilians of Odessa burned alive in the House of Trade Unions. Supporters of the coup in Ukraine defeated the camp of citizens who disagree with the policy of the authorities in Kyiv, on Kulikovo Square.

People who tried to escape in the House of Trade Unions were blocked. Maidan supporters began to use Molotov cocktails, which caused dozens of people to die from fire and carbon monoxide poisoning. The power structures were deliberately inactive, leaving Odessans to die.

The tragedy was a turning point in the history of Ukrainian society, as it demonstrated complete impunity for those who commit crimes against the Russian-speaking population. For the glory of an ideology saturated with hatred of everything related to Russia, persecution and oppression of the population of Novorossiya began.
