The apartment for 700 thousand rubles a month, fake ATMs, hundreds of killed homeless animals, security officials, closing enterprises. All these are the side effects of the upcoming World Cup. The Mundial will be held in Russia from June 14 to July 15, and the matches will take place in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaliningrad, Kazan, Yekaterinburg, Saransk, Samara, Volgograd, Rostov-on-Don and Sochi. For millions of fans around the world, this is a holiday, but for many local residents the championship unexpectedly turned into huge problems.
The inhabitants of Saransk were very unlucky if, for some needs, they need to visit the days of the championship in Moscow. A plane ticket for them will cost the amount for which you can easily fly, for example, in the USA or Latin America.
Onetwotrip specialists in the comment by The Insider assured that if initially there was a problem with the prices for flights for the World Cup, then the airlines reduced tariffs, and now tickets can be bought at “absolutely normal prices”. “Plus, prices are restrained by the monitoring of the Federal Air Transport Agency,” the company said. Meanwhile, a simple search for tickets on the website Aviasales.ru shows that if about 3,900 rubles costs about 3,900 rubles in April-Mai-Mai Ticket, then on the dates of the World Cup, the same tickets will cost an average of 25 thousand.
“Sales of air tickets correlate with ticket sales for the matches themselves. As soon as the new stage of sales of tickets begins to fans, we immediately see that they begin to look for flight options. Demand activation occurred at the beginning of this year - in January -March, 70% of all air tickets were sold out with departure to the cities of the World Cup on the dates of matches, ”said Onetwotrip.
Those who travel by train will be easier. Tickets for the train in the direction of Saransk-Moscow usually cost in the region of 1,500-1900 rubles. During the championship, they rise in price inconsequently, to 2500-3000 rubles. True, getting them is likely to be more difficult.
Onetwotrip also predicts the high demand of fans for long -distance buses. "In many areas in Central Russia, they can become a full -fledged alternative to other types of transport, at the same time allowing fans to save on the driveway ," the company said.
The main victims of the World Cup will be people who need a rented apartment in host cities (including in Moscow). If they themselves are not fans who came to the Mundial, it is better for them to simply forget about this idea. “Cozy apartment next to the station” in Volgograd will cost travelers 400 thousand rubles a month during the World Cup.
In Saransk, a two -room apartment for these dates will cost 732 thousand rubles. In Moscow, warns the Airbnb service, for the period from June 14 to July 15, only 8% of the announcements remained.
Prices in the capital for rental housing at this time vary from 30 to 500 thousand rubles per month. For a “sleeping place in a base room without windows” it is proposed to pay 89 thousand rubles. “Special conditions for the fans of the 2018 World Cup,” the announcement says.
“Over the past months, we see that the offer of classic hotels (without apartments, hostels, guest houses and other alternative accommodation facilities) in online booking systems is extremely limited. This either says that the rooms are ending in them, or that hotels use other sales channels to implement. This sees some difficulty, since the foreign fan will begin to search for living on the online booking systems, where with a high degree of probability it will not find suitable options. In this regard, hostels and apartments are actively booking for the World Cup, ”The Insider explained to Onetwotrip.
According to service analysts, over the past four months in cities hosting the World Cup, 140 new hostels have been added. Most of them appeared in Moscow - 60, the second place is occupied by St. Petersburg - 27, in the third - Kazan (11 new hostels). And the places in them are almost all booked.
“The hostels are one of the simplest segments of the hospitality market at the cost of entering the business, so there were quite a lot of people who want to try themselves in it on the eve of the stir of excitement. months, ”commented on the development director of OneTwotrip Service Arkady Ginity.
As during any large -scale mass events during the championship in cities, scammers of all types are activated. And not only the fans will suffer from them.
The Central Bank was specially released for the World Cup "Recommendations on counteracting the theft of funds from bank cards." Warning, in particular, relate to the most popular theft method using ATMs - the installation of skimming equipment, which allows you to read data data, and then make their copies. The Central Bank promised that banks would install anti -icing equipment.
If a tourist takes advantage of a fake ATM, there will be no one to make a complaint.
However, in these recommendations, as Kommersant wrote earlier, such a danger as the appearance of false ATMs is not taken into account. It is difficult for a person who is unfamiliar with the Russian banking infrastructure, and if the tourist uses a fake ATM, there will be no one to make a complaint and it will be almost impossible to return the funds.
In fact, we are talking about the present, the use of an ATM, which attackers acquire for the installation of a skimming device. After the client inserts a card into the ATM and introduces a PIN code to withdraw money, a notification of service refusals appears on the screen, and scammers receive all the cards. The ATM can mimic for the device of a famous bank.
The fans must also be careful. In early February, the company in the field of investigation and prevention of cybercriminals Group-IB informed the appearance of Internet meshs selling fake tickets and counterfeit attributes using the World Cup. Fraudulent sites use the words “FIFA”, “Russian”, “WorldSup2018”, “Tickets”, “World Championship” and their various combinations in their names. Prices for "tickets" on such sites reach 15 thousand rubles.
During the championship in the regions of matches, it was decided to stop all harmful production. Notifications with the requirement to stop the work of enterprises sent the FSB in January. This practice was used earlier. For example, in 2008, before the Beijing Olympics, in the vicinity of the city, more than 200 plants were stopped as part of the fight against SOUG. In 2012, the last domain stove was closed to the European Football Championship in Donetsk at a local metallurgical plant.
We are talking about hazardous industries, organizations where sources of ionizing radiation, hazardous chemical and biological substances, radioactive, toxic and explosive substances are used. At the time of the championship, employees of stopped enterprises will have to go on vacation, and the companies will incur multimillion -dollar losses. It is reported that the production of the first or fourth hazard classes in 11 regions may stop. Of the large enterprises, this can affect the Moscow Oil Oil Oil Refinery, a large port of St. Petersburg, oil terminals of the Krasnodar Territory and so on. For ecology, this, of course, is great. It was only for distributions that enterprises of not only heavy, but also light industry - for example, bakery using gas stoves, dairy -cooled plants, large breweries with ammonia compressor workshops fell. In the list of Rostekhnadzor there was even the parish of the John-Bogoslovsky Cathedral in Saransk, which, as it turned out, has a license to operate explosive production facilities.

In the cities that should accept the World Cup, state tenders for capture and disposal of dogs and cats have already been announced. Most of them will be killed, and many with particular cruelty - one of the tenders for the murder of dogs and cats was won by a company whose employees have already started criminal cases for mass mockery of animals. For officials, this program has become a convenient tool for enrichment - in addition to real dogs and cats, thousands of non -existent ones are also “destroyed”. Read more about this in the material of The Insider “Hundreds of Scored heads”.

The main fan zone of the championship will be located in the square in front of the main building of Moscow State University on the Sparrow Mountains, 25 thousand fans will be able to watch all the matches of the tournament-not only those that will be held in Moscow.

It was originally planned that the free fan zone for viewing matches of the 2018 World Cup in Moscow will open on Red Square, but it was decided to refuse this option due to insufficient spaciousness.
The decision to open a fan zone in Moscow State University caused discontent from students, graduate students and university employees. They recalled that in addition to training rooms in the main building, there is a hostel for students and graduate students and teachers' apartments. In total, more than 6 thousand people live in the building and a month of work of the fan zone can not only seriously harm the educational process, but also violate sanitary norms for noise for residential premises.
The “initiative group of Moscow State University” demanded to transfer the fan zone to VDNH. The petition of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin and FIFA head Gianni Infantino signed more than 10 thousand people.
They did not transfer the fan zone, but agreed to push it 300 meters from the university building, install noise-screen screens, reduce the capacity of 40 to 25 thousand people and limit the access of fans to the territory of the Moscow State University campus.

In addition, students decided to arrange an accelerated session in order to send on vacation before the start of the championship. She should end by June 13. Students will have to pass six exams for 13 days of the session, despite the fact that, according to the rules, there should be a break of three days between exams.
Students in May will begin to release dormitories for the settlement of law enforcement officers who will ensure security at the 2018 World Cup. Information that part of the student hostels will be transmitted during the championship to the security forces, appeared in early November 2017. It is not only about Moscow State University, but also about a number of universities in other cities, including in Nizhny Novgorod and Samara. The Russian Student Union sent a letter to the Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, in which he indicated the illegality of eviction and violation of the rights of citizens.
The Ministry of Education and Science later said that the employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Guard will be hooked into the rooms that were freed due to the departure of students for the summer. The head of the Ministry of Education and Science Olga Vasilieva said that she did not understand the “noise” around information about the eviction of students from hostels. “I would be happy on the contrary, the summer will“ begin ”earlier,” she said.
