Tomsk's Poliklinika No1 Renovations pushes back to October 2025
Updates from RIA Tomsk report that the substantial renovations of Poliklinika No1 in Tomsk are expected to wrap up by October 2025. According to Elena Peretyagina, chairperson of the Tomsk Regional Committee for Cultural Heritage Preservation, the discovery of historical inscriptions within the hospital walls didn't impact the total cost of the project.
Previously announced, renovation work on the historic building of Poliklinika No1 in Tomsk commenced on September 1, 2023, with an estimated cost of 202 million rubles. During the refurbishment, these historical inscriptions, fragments of the "Short Regulation for Soldiers" of 1912, were found on the walls. The decision was made to incorporate these ancient relics into the project, leading to a delay in completion from the end of 2024 to the second half of 2025.
"The planned completion date for the capital renovation of the project (Poliklinika No1) is October 2025," the response states.
Peretyagina confirmed that the conservation of the inscriptions has not affected the project's costs. These fragments of the soldier's manual will be covered with a transparent, environmentally resistant material on the corridors of the first and third floors of the polyclinic.
For those curious, these historical inscriptions discovered within Poliklinika No1's walls have a significant historical value, offering a glimpse into Russia's 20th-century military past. As such, their preservation and protection are essential for both historical recordkeeping and the appreciation of our cultural heritage.
The renovation of Poliklinika No1, scheduled for completion in October 2025, will also incorporate fragments of a significant historical artifact, the "Short Regulation for Soldiers" of 1912, found during the renovation process. This discovery, a valuable piece of Russia's 20th-century military history, will be preserved as part of the polyclinic's health-and-wellness effort, including medical-conditions recordkeeping, and the celebration of cultural heritage in science.
