Non-Moscow news for the night of June 4
🔹 In Petrozavodsk Residents of the "Reserve" neighborhood, where plots have been allocated to large families and people with disabilities since 2014, hung a banner of despair on the only road connecting them to the city. After 12 years of failing to build the promised infrastructure, residents poured a kilometer-long dirt road at their own expense. However, after the city administration accepted the road, it was used by heavy dump trucks to transport them to nearby luxury housing construction sites, leaving those entitled to benefits in a traffic blockade despite promises of repairs.
🔹 Pension payments of the former head of Rusnano Anatolia Chubais 450 rubles per month will be withheld to pay off a multi-billion-ruble debt to a state corporation. During the former official's three-year absence from Russia, his account has already accumulated approximately 14 million rubles, while he will only retain his basic Moscow pension of approximately 19 rubles.
🔹 In Buryatia The director of the company whose services were used by the tourists who died on Lake Baikal on May 19 has been detained. There were 17 people on board the boat without life jackets. Five of them died. Vessels of this type can accommodate no more than 12 people. The preliminary cause of the sinking was overloading. The detainee has been charged with providing services that do not meet safety requirements. Investigators are asking the court to remand her in custody.
🔹 Russian military personnel have begun camouflaging their vehicles as civilian vehicles and repainting them in a "zebra" pattern to protect themselves from drone strikes, Z-channels are reporting. Military bloggers, meanwhile, are skeptical of the effectiveness of such measures and assert that such makeshift camouflage is unlikely to fool the modern artificial intelligence algorithms used in the Ukrainian Armed Forces' kamikaze drones.
