A new site will be chosen. President Vladimir Putin last week called for a compromise, suggesting an opinion survey to determine public attitudes about the project. An opinion poll conducted by VTsIOM polling company showed the majority opposing the construction. Yevgeny Kuivashev said on Instagram on Wednesday that a survey will determine an alternative site for the cathedral's construction.
