“We’ve warmed up and that’s enough”: those who were freezing at BAM were given heat on the day the commission arrived, and then turned off

After the article in MK, testimony was taken from thermometers and complainants

It’s getting warmer at BAM. But not for long. After the article in MK, a commission from the prosecutor’s office arrived in the village of Kichera, where the temperature in the houses was only plus 9 degrees, and the radiators began to heat up… The temperature in the apartments rose to 16-18 degrees.

But then the inspection left and the heat was turned off again, the village residents complain. “We’ve warmed up, that’s enough, we can close the valves,” they are indignant.

Needless to say, we know how to throw dust in the eyes of our superiors. But in the end, nothing changes. And life doesn’t get any warmer. So why lie? Who benefits from this? To those who reported beautifully, these comrades should also live in the same cold as the rest. So for what?

Some pretend that everything is fine, others pretend that they believe it.

On the eve of the 50th anniversary of BAM, those who live there are advised to purchase potbelly stoves. It’s minus 40 outside. And at home it’s from 9 to 12. With three heaters, the mercury in the thermometer barely rises to 18. And it’s been like that for the last few years.

Ok, anything can happen. Moreover, over 50 years, any communications can become unusable if nothing is done with them. And then the coal runs out.

But at the same time, residents of the village have been paying 8-10 thousand rubles a month for heating, which essentially does not exist, for years. And not only in winter, but also in summer. Since the annual grotesque amount is divided into 12 months, so that on average it is not so much. But the service is not actually provided. The pension of the Bamovites from Kichera, the same Komsomol members and Komsomol members who arrived half a century ago to build the famous Baikal-Amur Mainline, is less than 20 thousand rubles. The locals also told us about this. I ask, how can this be, with increased Far Eastern odds? It turned out that the archive with all the data on who worked, where, when and for how long was burned down a long time ago. Pensioners, as far as we understand, also do not require anything. Apparently they know that it is useless. The unsubscribes will still be written as needed.

Just like now – as soon as a commission from the prosecutor’s office arrived to check the information presented in the publication, heat was immediately supplied to the radiators. “In the hallway, one of the prosecutors took off his shoes, and his feet froze to the carpet,” locals write in chats.

“We managed to warm up some apartments a little for the commission’s arrival, and we almost had time to warm up the school. But they recorded the very fact of the cold, took readings from everyone, and people said that only at lunchtime the batteries became hot,” say concerned residents.

At night, in a strange way, the temperature in the apartments returned to its previous level, although according to forecasts there is warming, and there is not even any wind. “We were told that an accident had occurred again and the third boiler had stopped, and apparently they would not heat it again.”

“It will be warm when the new boiler house is built. But if we don’t write, complain and punish them with rubles, then nothing will change.”

Everything is just like that. If people are content to live in permafrost, and no one is punished for creating such inhuman living conditions, then what is the point of changing anything? But the fact of the matter is that one day those who just yesterday agreed to wear hats and felt boots at home will get tired of putting up with it. How can?

Yes, there will be another reply, but the act on low temperatures in apartments has been drawn up and people do not intend to remain silent for another winter. They’re going to fight. If not for warmth, then for your wallets.

But I still want a lot more warmth…
