    It seems there's been a lot of issues surrounding the construction of this oceanarium but I'll leave that to the news. On the other hand, an opening date has been set according to this article:

    (Seaside Aquarium) will open its doors to the public in late spring 2016. The unique building was visited by members of City Council. Legislators were impressed by the prospect of an oceanarium, "underwater museum" called the most modern in Russia, RIA VladNews.
    The article is in Russian. Read more here:
