The bodies of Yakutia's war-slain residents cannot be transported home because ferry prices have skyrocketed and there are still no bridges across the rivers.

Ferry service prices rose 10 times faster: now you will have to pay for transporting a passenger car 10 thousands rubles (instead of 1100). For an SUV - 15 thousand.

This happened at the peak of the off-season: previously, the tariff had been held down by Ministry of Transport officials, but this time something went wrong, and the price was released.

Judging by the videos that send Local residents, the piers are jammed with vehicles, including huge lines of trucks. Among them are vehicles carrying zinc coffins containing the bodies of those killed in the war with Ukraine.

The publication "Siberia.Realities" reminds that Lena River Cuts Yakutsk off from the rest of Russia twice a year—in spring and autumn. For a total of 150 days a year, the city is essentially an island.

The problem would have been solved long ago if the authorities had built a bridge: they have been promising this since 2006, but have only driven one pile so far (this happened a few days ago).

At the same time, Yakutia took part in the construction Crimean bridge — a more expensive and complex project (it is almost three times longer than the bridge needed across the Lena).
