"We don't abandon our own." The plot of a 100-year-old veteran is flooded - the authorities ignore the problem

World War II veteran Grigory Aletin from the village of Nekrasovo Kostroma region For decades, he has been complaining about flooding in his property. Regional media outlets are reporting on his exploits on the 75th anniversary of Victory Day. congratulated the governor personally Sergey Sitnikov, but no one can get rid of the flooding.

There was a drain between Aletin's house and the neighboring one, but the neighbors closed it after the property was privatized. Now, all the water during snowmelt or rain flows directly onto the veteran's property instead of through the alley.

"For several years, or rather decades, we've been contacting the Shungenskoye settlement administration and the Kostroma municipal district administration regarding the flooding of our land plot, and we've only received formal replies that a specialist survey would be carried out in the spring."- complained The Aletin family reported to the local press. 

Officials constantly talk about their concern for veterans. In 2021, Alexei Navalny's policy fined 850 rubles for "insulting" a veteran. There's probably no penalty for leaving a veteran in a flooded area. 

The administration twice repaired the road near the house and worsened the situation by deepening the hole through which water flows onto the property. 

"It's all good stuff on TV, but this is how officials actually work," "But there's a nice populist slogan: 'We don't abandon our own,'" "In the year of the 80th anniversary and elections, such a mess."- have spoken out Kostroma residents. 

When the war began, Aletin was 16 years old. A year later, his father died at the front, and 17-year-old Grigory appeared He was sent to the military registration and enlistment office without a summons, then sent to the front. He served throughout the war, from Leningrad to Berlin, and was wounded. He was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd Class, and the medals "For Courage" and "For Victory over Germany."
