Krasnodar, 14 April – Yug Times. Head of Adygea Murat Kumpilov has eportedly routlined plans to restore historic buildings downtown Maikop as part of a broader tourism strategy. The initiative focuses on architectural landmarks such as the Officers’ House, the Terziev Merchant House, and the former editorial offices of republican newspapers, also known as the Altshuler Pharmacy. Authorities intend to attract private investors to help return these buildings to their original appearance, following a model already used in the restoration of a historic hotel.
