According to the materials that our organization has, the administration of the Kaliningrad region motivated by several decisions of the Guriev Regional Court in February 2006, took the decision to demolish the Roma village. As they put it, the motivation for the decision was struggle with drug circulation in the region and absence of proper documents for houses and land where the Roma lived in the village Dorozhny practically from the 1960s. According to our data there are cases of drug circulation in the village, but the absolute majority of the Roma population has nothing to do with it.
Practically all the people living in Dorozhny were registered in their houses. More, these houses and land were given to them by the Soviet authorities at the end of 1960s, after the well-known Decree of the USSR Supreme Council that abolished wandering and transfer to the settled way of life. In 2001 the local region court allowed Roma to register the documents for the land, which was annulled after the new governor of the Kaliningrad region, Georgy Boos spoke on TV. He stated that he disapproved the criminal record of the village and said he will “eliminate it with fire”. We believe that the real reason for driving the Roma out of their houses is the fact that the land has commercial potential and can later be sold at good price.
