Police disperse Russians shouting “Putin, help.” Subsequently, the regional leader met with the activists and forced them to turn off their phones.
Residents of Orsk affected by the flood came out to protest in the city’s main square. The reason is established payments for property loss. People are asking Vladimir Putin to intervene. This was reported by the Mash Telegram channel.
“More than a hundred citizens are now near the Lenin monument on Komsomolskaya Square. They are not satisfied with the local authorities and the amount of compensation – 50 thousand rubles for partial loss of property, 100 thousand for complete loss .However, this, according to residents, is not enough to cover the losses.
The police asked to leave the square, saying that the rally was against the law, and that participation in it would entail responsibility. But people are not leaving and chanting: “Putin, help,” the message said.
The Baza Telegram channel reported that the head of the Orenburg region, Denis Pasler, asked to turn off the phones at a meeting with the initiative group in Orsk.
Local residents refused, saying that they do not trust the official media in the region, because everything will be cut from there later.
