The Ministry of Emergencies saves Yakutia. Coal is carried by airplanes

Doomed heroism doomed by the Ministry of Emergencies successfully save the starving and freezing Yakutia. By the forces of the rescue department, RIA Novosti reports, as many as 100 tons of food have been brought there. According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, coal to the northern villages is also delivered by aircraft. The authorities claim that the cause of what is happening is natural phenomena that are not amenable to control. The rivers were shallow, the ice stood unusually early. As a result, 17 motor ships with fuel and food were stuck on the rivers, not reaching the destination. In order to use the reserves located on ships, you have to wait for December, when it can be able to lay a “winter road”: a temporary road along the ice of rivers. And now all hope for the Ministry of Emergencies.

For some reason, leaders who refer to natural disasters are difficult to explain what they did all summer. Indeed, for all the time of navigation they managed to create cash reserves in Yakutia - in total until November. What is happening in the northern regions is a convincing illustration of that propaganda whistle, which for several years the main Russian chiefs are arranging around the Arctic. Recently, ten ships of the Northern Fleet, accompanied by all the atomic icebreakers of the country, made their way to the Novosibirsk Islands in order to resume the activities of the military airfield. The only combat task that is intended to solve this military object is extremely important and honorable - to demonstrate its presence in one of the most inaccessible areas of the Arctic. It is curious that to ensure the activities of the aerodrome commandant’s office, the caravan of the Northern Fleet ships delivered 46 tons of fuel and lubricants and 43 tons of food. That is, approximately the same as the Ministry of Emergencies delivered to save Yakutia. In addition, the Russian authorities sent an icebreaker to the North Pole - in order to demonstrate the Olympic torch with white bears. And on November 9, Olympic fire will be delivered to Yakutsk. Obviously for the warmth of the inhabitants.

And who will now say that in Moscow there are little Arctic? True, there was not enough time resources to ensure Yakutia. It is clear why: northern delivery is a routine case that comes from year to year. You can’t get any PR for the bosses, no matter how you try. Therefore, the inhabitants of Yakutia can only rely on heroes from the Ministry of Emergencies.
