"It's hard to imagine what will happen to the pond in 20 years, or even if it will even remain. Makarenko ignores communication with residents and fishermen. We learned from a security guard that he intends to fence off the pond and close all access."- told local residents on social networks.
The dam was leased to Makarenko back in 2007. Since then, according to locals, it hasn't been cleaned. They fear that if the dam breaks, the village of Marksovsky will simply be washed away.
