Air blockade Agafia Lykova
The head of Khakassia, Viktor Zimin, during the “ Direct Line ” on November 14, forbade voluntary assistants to fly to the back of the hermit Agafier Lykova . According to him, Lykov "is not a bearer of any great deeds related to religion." Zimin believes that the Kuzbass authorities dishonor Khakasia, helping Lykova, which the governor proposes to relocate to one of the cities.
One of the spectators asked Governor of Khakassia to help him get to Lykova in order to accept the Old Believer faith. In response to this, Zimin noted that Lykova "is not a patriarch of the Old Believer Church and has no status." According to him, "Grandmother Agafya and so the load is great for many."
“My mother, the kingdom of heaven, was always indignant and said: my son, it’s unfair, I worked for the state all my life, helicopters do not fly to me, and these people did not work for the state for a day, and also hid from the war,” said the head of Khakassia.
Zimin said that he has long been proposing to relocate Lykov to one of the settlements of Khakassia. For example, to the house of veterans in Sayanogorsk. The residents of Kuzbass, who regularly provide assistance to Agafier Lykova, Viktor Zimin "forbade" to fly to the hull to the hermit, as she lives on the territory of the reserve.
He forbade, said - once again the side will come from there - you violated the law of the country, has no right to sit there or fly
- Politically, of course, it is beautiful to stand near this flag, to deliver products in time, by signal. And also our neighbors sometimes have PR ... I forbade, said - once again the board will come from there - you violated the law of the country, has no right to sit there or fly. And we don’t need to disgrace us, in the part that we ... and they are there. Straight nurse ...
The head of Khakassia noted that Agafue's grandmother does not really love, but he treats the Old Believer faith with great respect:
- I am very good about her, she is our faith, she is Orthodox, she is Russian, but Grandma Agafya is not a bearer of any great deeds associated with religion.
As noted in the press service of the administration of the Kemerovo region, Agafya Lykova and the head of Kuzbas Aman Tuleyev have been communicating for about 20 years. In January 2016, the governor personally accompanied the hermit to the hut after discharge from the Tashtagol hospital. And this help will continue , despite the words of Zimin.
If the Khakassia authorities provided systemic assistance, reacted to the problems and rare requests of Agafia Lykova, then Kuzbass would not have to intervene
“Volunteers have come to Lykova already four times to help the household, the hunters defended her house and farm from the bears,” the press service noted. - How can you prohibit friends? If the Khakassia authorities provided systemic assistance, reacted to the problems and rare requests of Agafia Lykova, then Kuzbass would not have to intervene.
In Khakassia, Zimin's statements caused a public outcry.
Zimin, trying to pull the blanket over himself, froze nonsense. At his age, one should already respect older people, especially a woman, with her difficult fate, character and forced choice
“According to Viktor Mikhailovich, it turns out that Agafya Karpovna for Khakassia is a suitcase without a handle: it is impossible to drag on himself and throw it in any way,” says a resident of the republic Svetlana Stafievskaya . - Zimin, on the one hand, trying to pull the blanket over himself, froze nonsense. At his age, one should already respect older people, especially a woman, with her difficult fate, character and forced choice. But no. It is necessary to show who is the master in the house. Let's not forget that Khakassia actually simply failed to make the “sacred cow” from Agafia correctly, as Tuleyev did.
And the photographer Denis Mukimov in 2014 personally visited Lykova’s borrow, and the words of the governor were outraged by the governor:
Russia spends gigantic funds for humanitarian aid to Donbass and Syria, throw a couple of canned food boxes and a bag of vegetables to my grandmother against this background - nonsense
- Although Lykova never worked, she still guaranteed a minimum pension, which she, as far as I know, does not receive. And the products that are taken to it do not exceed the pension payments that are relying Agafier. And Russia spends gigantic funds on the provision of humanitarian aid to Donbass and Syria, throw a couple of canned food boxes and a bag of vegetables to my grandmother against this background - nonsense. I will add that helicopters can specially be specially driven there, and when the employees of the reserve go about their business, why not? - says Denis. - Zimin has a sling in the treasury. If he had money, he would have been promoting.
According to political scientist Dmitry Bureev , Zimin’s statement is built on emotions and echoes the unstable financial situation, in which Khakassia has been in recent months.
In this case, Lykov is a collective image of abandoned, forgotten old people
- Lykova is the same pensioner lonely as many others. I do not see the difference between Lykova and the conditional Petrova, which is kicked out of the nursing home. In this case, Lykov is a collective image of abandoned, forgotten old people. And here we can recall delays in compensation for the payment of housing and communal services, problems with preferential medicines, denting, other issues of social protection of the older generation in Khakassia. If all this were order, claims to the “super -service” of Lykova would be appropriate, but for now there is no money either Lykova or pensioners of Khakassia, says Bureev.

In the fall of 2017, the public debt of Khakassia exceeded 130% of the level of budget revenues. Deputies of the republic applied to the federal authorities with a request to provide 28.2 billion rubles in connection with the "catastrophic situation of the budget revenue." During the year, social benefits were repeatedly delayed in Khakassia, including compensation for housing and communal services to veterans of labor, as well as salaries to employees of municipalities.
Agafya Lykova was born in 1944 in the family of Old Believers, in the 30s of the last century fled to the Siberian taiga from Stalinist repressions. In 1988, her father Karp Osipovich, her last relative, died. Since then, it has existed alone, leading a natural economy, growing potatoes, carrots, a bruitte and onions and collecting mushrooms, berries and cedar nuts in the forest. The direction of the Old Believer faith, to which Agafya belongs, does not allow her to use any objects that, for example, are applied by a barcode, such as medicines in pharmacy packaging or matches. The hut of the hermit is located in two weeks of walking to Abakan, but not far from Lykova’s hut you can see the part of the Proton missing Russian rocket on the ground. The Sayans are located on the trajectory of launches from the Baikonur cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
