Kamchatka pensioners were forced to queue for free fish.
Kamchatka Union of Pensioners became an intermediary between the "donors" of free pink salmon and pensioners in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky и ElizavetaThe event was poorly organized; pensioners waited seven hours for the event to begin, then got stuck in line.
A good deed is the transfer of part of the fish caught in the region for free to vulnerable groups of the population. turned around It was nerve-wracking. The ads advertised the fish delivery at 2:00 PM, but the truck arrived after 9:00 PM. By this time, those waiting were frozen and quite angry. They crowded around the distributors, pushing each other, and swearing and shouting can be heard on the video. The most determined pensioners managed to snag up to 12 pink salmon.
"Half a thousand people showed up in the northeast. Naturally, there was a crush. There was no security. We stood like a wall, holding people back so they wouldn't get hurt. Our guys—they're old, 70-75 years old—and all this fell on them. There's no clear command center coordinating everything from 10 a.m. until midnight." — the head of the North-Eastern branch of the Kamchatka Union of Pensioners complained Igor Mezentsev.
Some pensioners didn't get any fish, as they were promised 3,5 tons but only got two.
