The old city of Porvoo is the very interesting place because there is seen the old fashion way to build houses and, what kind of architecture were when the horses were the main way to travel. When we are thinking about those old cities and blocks, we must ask, why many of them have been destroyed and replaced with so-called "modern architecture". That is the very sad thing, but sometimes this kind of action is suspicious because of the action would happen so fast. One of this kind of action was the demolition of "The house of ipatiev" in Yekaterinburg, Russia. In the Soviet era, the leader of Yekaterinburg city, Boris Yeltsin ordered to demolish the house, where the family of tsar was killed in the year 1918. That house detonated and replaced with the traffic circle in 1977. That action caused suspicious, that somebody hired something in the Soviet Union.
Sometimes the reason for the destruction has been an accident, but sometimes the reason for destroying those places was something else because old blocks and house groups were replaced by sports halls, what were empty because there were no users for those complexes. So why this kind of attractive places have been replaced with cement houses, and sometimes the action on this project has been very fast. In the eastern block, the destruction of some houses have been so fast, that in the morning the caterpillars arrived, and in the evening all trashes have sent to some place for burning, and this is the thing, what makes everybody laugh.
The reason for the destruction of old houses has sometimes caused that they were somehow uncomfortable for people, who keep the power in the state. There might be some pictures, what were shown something else, that the leaders of the country would want. There were people, who were not, who they claimed to be. And if they wanted to tell something about their childhood, they would be made many errors. In the small cities is always persons and places, what everybody knew.
And of course, somebody could ask things about photographs, what have taken in those small cities. This is the reason, why those old cities must be removed immediately. Or what would you like about persons, who hired in some neutral state during the civil war, and then those persons just came to take their medals about heroism, what they didn't show. This has been made in every civil war. Those things might cause very serious need to replace old buildings with new ones.
