In connection with citizens' appeals to the leadership of the IC of Russia regarding the construction of a speedway through the Volga-Akhtuba Floodplain Nature Park, the Chairman of the IC of Russia instructed Head of the Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for Volgograd Oblast V. I. Semyonov to report on the situation. Fulfillment of the task will be supervised by the Central Office.

The appeal notes that Volgograd Oblast residents demand to stop cutting down trees for the Volgograd-Volzhsky speedway and implement an alternative construction option – expansion of the existing road, which allows preserving the Volga-Akhtuba Floodplain Nature Park.
