KRASNODAR. Aug 24 (Interfax-South) - The Novorossiisk
mayor's office on Wednesday will consider allotting
land for a proposed life-size statue of former Soviet
leader Leonid Brezhnev, but will not allocate funds
for the project, the mayor's spokesman Roman Shelest
told Interfax. 

Erecting a monument to Brezhnev in the Black Sea port
of Novorossiisk was suggested by Krasnodar Legislative
Assembly deputy Dmitry Shishov, who asked the mayor's
office for a plot of land, Shelest said. 

"The conciliation commission is deciding now which of
the two proposed areas will be used for the monument,"
he said.
