He drove through Krymsk and Lower Bakan, even stopped. The preservation of the city and the village is quite high, only the Saman huts were destroyed, where mostly old people lived, sometimes with grandchildren. Near one of the ruins there is a tent, Tama lives in her garden an old woman. A lot of cars dry, they stand with open trunk. The tent camp of volunteers is neighboring with trucks, next to which there is a platoon of soldiers. Groups of Emchens walk the streets, someone is saved, or something ... I don’t know.

Colleagues-journalists with whom he once worked, I tell what they do not report in the newspapers. By the number of victims. Only the Armavir Ministry of Emergencies discovered 85 corpses, and in their zone of responsibility there were significantly less than half of the flooded territory. Thus, the number of victims is clearly underestimated, the question is how much. It is hardly about thousands of dead, but there are definitely more than two hundred of them. 200 is a critical figure, if there are more dead, then this is a different status of a disaster, the appearance of foreign observers, a more thorough investigation, etc. Whether there was a discharge of water from the reservoir - no one knows, but ten years ago during the flood in Armavir, they also said that there was no reset. Now no one is hiding what was. Regarding whether the power could prevent the death of people. One of the surviving families recalls how, at ten in the evening, noblem up before the disaster, their neighbor - the Ministry of Internal Affairs officer immersed his family in a jeep and departed from the city. They do not understand why he - people who knew for many years did not warn them. Perhaps, of course, this is a coincidence, the policeman just went to the sea. But in any case, there were two or three hours in power. In response to a warning, people, of course, would not have rushed out of the city. Kuban people are incredulous people. But at least the water would not overwhelm them sleeping. How many could it save? One hundred people, ten, one? Don't know. But the power by this one (or maybe ten or hundreds) exactly sacrificed.

The information blockade is total. People are silent because they are afraid. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, a wave of crazy rumors and publications of light-no-from-Ivanovo, exaggerating the scale of the disaster many times. With the third, the Kuban media was tightened by the authorities tightly, even in the days of the USSR, they publish articles about Tkachev - almost about the hero and the Savior of Crimea. The most pro -government newspaper in the Komi is a hundred times more freer than the most free (from the financial) newspapers in the Kuban. In general, Komi after the Kuban is another country. Haughty, poor and free. We got stuck in the late 80s, while in the Krasnodar Territory - for a long time a “policeman state”, which they rule, as they have pleased, various clans. And the tsapki there, of course, no exception, just from the Kushchevsky finally demolished the roof. I don't know why. The people in the Kuban are softer, kinder. They do not know how to defend themselves.

I must disappoint those who are convinced that the problem is in the Kremlin. If in Komi there are some illusions in this regard, then in the Krasnodar Territory it becomes clear what is really happening. KC now is Georgia or Uzbekistan in Soviet times. The territory over which is lost, to a large extent, control of the central government. When it will be completely lost, it will become much worse there, the country about Drapkov simply does not recognize. So far, they still look back at Moscow. In the case of liberals coming to power, the Kremlin will lose control of the country very quickly and regions as a KK or Chechnya will be at eighty.
