Residents of a Krasnoyarsk village have been cut off from the world for more than two weeks: the ferry is not operating, and the river has not yet frozen over.

Almost two hundred residents of the village Old Kop в Karatuzsky District can't cross the river AmilThe ferry has been moored on the opposite bank for two weeks now. There's slush on the river, but it's still a long way from ice formation. 

There is a road through the mountains, but it can only be driven by an off-road vehicle:

"There are potholes, a steep climb, and a descent. Only an all-terrain vehicle, or a lower vehicle, can get through. Only RAFs, UAZs, and anything taller can get through," said village resident Timofey Grekov.

The local village council cites abnormal weather conditions: "It's almost the beginning of December, and Amyl hasn't even risen yet." They say people are being ferried across by motorboat. But this hasn't happened for several days; apparently, there's simply no one to do it. According to local residents, schoolchildren who attend school in the district center—in the village of Karatuzsky — during the thaw, they rent apartments or live with relatives.

Russian villages regularly find themselves isolated due to the lack of bridges and impassable roads. For example, NeMoskva reported that residents of two villages in Arkhangelsk region three months a year Live in without transport links and unsuccessfully asking for a bridge to be built. And in Kuban village of Lermontovo an entire neighborhood turned blocked due to the collapse of an emergency bridge over the river Shapsukho.
