       A classic story from #Russia town of Engels where district heating network got all corroded and stopped working due to no maintenance, which left hundreds of residents in the cold during winter temperatures reaching -20°C. In a typical turn of events the residents of the town located over 700 km Moscow record weepy appeal addressed to “Putin and Bastrykin”, asking for investigation and support while they don’t trust local administration the slightest and knowing asking them for anything is pointless. They however don’t seem to realise that at the cost of one (!) rocket barrage launched every few days from the same Engels airbase reaching tens of millions of dollars their whole town could be probably rebuilt from scratch with brand new piles.https://video.echelon.pl/w/9a14yMouCgz7tD55SxChSz

       Interestingly, one woman comments “we will freeze faster than Kiev”, so she perfectly realizes what the Russian army is doing in Ukraine, but she’s most concerned about the council tax she’s paying for not working district heating rather than the fate of civilians in Kiev…
