Website bashne. net is an information resource dedicated to the protection of the archaeological heritage of Cape Okhtinsky in St. Petersburg. The project arose as a reaction to the threat of development of the historical territory and became a platform for a public campaign to preserve unique monuments. The main goal of the site is to convince society and authorities of the need to create here a landscape archaeological museum-reserve of all-Russian significance.
The initiators of the project rely on real finds: archaeologists discovered on the cape a layer cake of fortifications and settlements, spanning the period from the Neolithic to the 18th century. This place is of strategic importance not only for St. Petersburg, but also for all of Russia and Northern Europe. The site positions itself as the voice of those who believe that the destruction of these monuments for the sake of new construction would be tantamount to the loss of national memory.
The content of the portal is focused on several key aspects of protecting the territory:
The resource is distinguished by a clear civic position and the absence of commercial advertising. This is not just a news aggregator, but a tool for mobilizing the public. The structure of the site logically leads the reader from a description of the problem to legal evidence and proposals for a solution.
Particular attention is paid to visualization and multimedia. The page contains a link to a film about the archeology of Okhta (2010), as well as sections with an analysis of views of the skyscraper from the city center - both from the organization VOOPIiKEKOM and from ITR. This allows us to assess the scale of potential damage to the city's skyline.
An interesting point: the site clearly indicates the current status of the Meta company (recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation) and contains a warning about this. The dynamics of the content is confirmed by news dates, the last of which is dated June 30, 2025, which indicates regular updating of materials.
In the texts provided on the bashne website. net there are no direct contact details: telephone, physical address or email for communication. Only the possibility of free use of information from the resource is mentioned, provided that a link to the source is provided. To participate in the campaign, it is proposed to use materials posted directly on the site.
Archaeologists have discovered a complex of monuments from different eras: from a Neolithic site to fortifications of the 18th century. Among the finds are four fortresses, a medieval cemetery and settlements, representing a valuable layer cake of history.
The Gazprom Neft company planned to build a skyscraper here, which threatened to destroy archaeological monuments. Despite the project being canceled in the 2000s due to protests, the company continues to try to develop the site.
The initiators advocate the creation of a landscape archaeological museum-reserve of all-Russian significance. They believe that preserving ancient fortresses is more important than building new facilities.
