The Last of Sovetski
Edition:
Urban Development
On one of the central streets of Baku, named “Sovetski," approximately 10,000 families have lived. Starting from 2013, the process of demolishing their houses started, and people were moved from there. The offer of meager compensation, combined with their unwillingness to be moved from the center became the cause for protests. Yet, despite the organization of protests, and their efforts to apply to the official bodies, the conclusion resulted only in the administrative arrest of some activists.
