The Voronins family in Nizhneleninsky’s house, but it was flooded, and Natalya Voronina with a paralyzed mother and daughters Anna and Olga moved to the second floor of the rural library, where Natalia works as a librarian.

Olga - a doctor, works in the Khabarovsk Disaster Medicine Center, gets to the patients in distant areas and provides them with medical care, but now she is on vacation for child care. The little son of Olga Yegor at the time of the flood was sent to his father’s parents in the village of Dubovoye, she remained with her mother and grandmother in a flooded village.

The youngest in the family - Anya Voronina works as an observer of the Vodserodnaya post of the village of Nizhneleninskoye: every 2 hours it measures the water level and reports to the leadership.

The third daughter of Natalia Voronina - Marina Simontseva lives in Khabarovsk and works as a car service manager. She spent the weekend in search of diapers for a sick grandmother and a way to deliver them from Khabarovsk to Nizhneleninskoye.

Electricity in the village was turned off a few days ago, a small electric generator who refused to evacuate, from which mobile phones are charged.

Voronins eat supplies and the fact that they managed to save from the water in the garden. Olga says:

"Today we brought stew, bread, five -liter bottles of water. We managed to dig up a little potatoes to the flood, collect tomatoes, pepper, and the rest: potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, pepper - all drowned. The head of the Goncharov settlement Dmitry Mikhailovich brought a lot of rations and asked to give to people.

The neighbors, who can help to take the rations, who sail himself, who the police transport, we have a gas stove, a cylinder with gas, read books in the evenings, first at the window in daylight, and then light candles. There is a supply of water, the head of the settlement also brought it by boat. We save water, we wash little, only the most necessary. For lunch we cook potatoes - it is still there, pepper, eat reserves plus dry rations. There is no store in Nizhneleninsky, it is only in Babstov, there is still a store far, at the station. The head of the settlement himself goes there on a boat sometimes.

Elections in Nizhneleninsky are not canceled - the polling station was moved to Babstovo, and those who remained will vote on the roofs. Mom is now part of the Babtov election commission. Previously, the polling station was in the building of our library, in the club’s premises. Water does not seem to rise anymore, so the books in the library will not suffer. "

The father of the family Alexei Voronin - in the winter, the stoker, and in the summer, householders - remained to live on the roof of his house.

Marina Simontseva says: "Dad is sitting in our house on the roof now, says" there is more interesting. "Every day he sails by boat to his native to the library - to his mother, to her daughters, then he returns to the roof again ... It protects what they managed to raise it to the attic."

For her grandmother - Baba Masha, as her granddaughters call her - is needed by special care, she has been paralyzed for several years. From the Great Earth you need to regularly deliver diapers and medicines. Marina Simontseva and her husband plan to "break through" into the village. The problem is that now people are not allowed into the flooded territory - it was possible to drive to the border village and to the floods only by presenting the documents, and now the entry there is completely closed.

In the village you can only move by boat

Marina says: “You can only swim, by boats. The fish inspection on boats patrols. Now, if you catch such a boat, then you will get. If not, then there is no. There is a certain station that the water has reached and there is a sushi island. You come to this island, look, you are guarding-if the boat floats somewhere, you are shouting, they are smeared, they’re giving you away, they’re giving you away. aboard, and you get there. "

On the concrete roof of the garage attached to the library, two families live in the tents, their flooded houses are nearby, so sometimes they spend the night in their attics. Olga comes to visit them on the roof and at the same time cooks on the barbecue.

Marina Simuntseva often calls her mother by phone from Khabarovsk:

In the Khabarovsk Territory and the Jewish Autonomy neighboring with it, rains do not stop, the air temperature fell to about 15 degrees in the afternoon, and frosts are expected in September. Meanwhile, the water, although slowly, continues to arrive. Residents of Nizhneleninsky are now most necessary for warm things. And Marina and her husband are still thinking about how to bring to relatives an additional generator - what is there now is barely enough to charge the phone.
