“No one opened any reservoir, no one opened any barriers, and in the Crimean region there is no such reservoir at all where you can open the floodgates and let water flow into the city,” the press secretary of Governor Tkachev said yesterday on Echo ( http://eco. ria.ru/danger/20120707/693996025.html )
Tkachev himself, meanwhile, shamed and branded all of us, unscrupulous ones, on Twitter: “I see that a delusional version about dumping water from a reservoir on Krymsk is actively being promoted. Enough already. The region has received five months’ worth of precipitation!” ( http://eco.ria.ru/danger/20120707/694043338.html )
Now the concept has changed. Everyone's screwed up.
“For 13 hours, repeated automatic drains were carried out, but it is too early to say that this was the cause of the flood,” Ivan Sengerov, senior assistant to the head of the investigative department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Krasnodar Territory, told RIA Novosti ( http://ria.ru /incidents/20120708/694380877.html )
Although right before the dumps, “a meeting was held, literally 20 minutes later (after the official announcement) people walked around the courtyards, a ticker started running on the monitors,” as the head of the Crimean region assures. ( http://ria.ru/incidents/20120708/694174516.html )
That is, firstly, there was no wallet here. Secondly, I didn't take it. Thirdly, he was immediately without money. And fourthly, are you sorry?
By the way, the “five-month precipitation norm” named after Tkachev was first a “two-month precipitation norm” ( http://ria.ru/society/20120707/693918777.html ). And now it has become the “annual precipitation norm” ( http://ria.ru/incidents/20120708/694380877.html ). By evening it will turn out that she’s three years old, I don’t doubt it for a second...
