The special commission has already arrived to the village Primary, whose residents held several public gatherings, recorded appeal to the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin и threatened Ignore the elections (this fall, the Chelyabinsk region is electing a governor).

According to people, houses in the village go away The village has been underwater for several years now. Back in 2017, the prosecutor's office sued the mayor's office, demanding that a storm drain be installed, but the problem remains unresolved: after prolonged downpours, more than 300 private homes, dozens of apartment buildings, and roads were flooded. Many people lost power, appliances burned out, and shops in the village are closed.

For several days in a row, residents have been demanding a meeting with the governor. Alexey Texlerto discuss the problem with him. However, he never showed up in the village.

Meanwhile, damage assessment work has already begun: the commission inspected the first 17 buildings and promised that "the compensation amount will be calculated proportionally to the damage caused." The funds were promised to be disbursed promptly.

“Perhaps, if it weren’t for the elections, there wouldn’t be so much attention paid to citizens and their problems,” count them. Residents believe that Alexey Teksler could have solved their problem during his five years as governor if he'd wanted to.

Investigative Committee head Alexander Bastrykin has already ordered an investigation into the officials' actions and has taken it under his personal control.
