A new strike of builders began at the Vostochny cosmodrome. This time 82 AMD workers are protested, which have not received a salary since April. Such information is reported by Amur-Info with reference to the concrete holder of AMD Alexander Kotelnikov.

Then, on Friday, the workers met with the representative of the AMD administration by the name of Lebedev. “He promised to list some advances in the evening of the same day,” Kotelnikov said. “But we didn’t receive anything. Therefore, today we are again at the workplace, but we do not work.”

Another working amd, which retained anonymity, told the publication that the protesters were ready to start a hunger strike. The bosses explains the delay in the salary with a lack of funds, added the builder. Meanwhile, in the capital's office, companies assure that salary money is transferred to the Amur Region.

According to the Prosecutor's Office of the Amur Region, Stroyindustria-S received an advance of 48 million rubles "for the construction of the building facilities of the Cosmodrome", however, the management of the company spent this money "not related to the construction of the facilities of the cosmodrome."
