"I will do the beam." 2021 in the Pskov region began from the end of the world

This message was created and widespread by a Russian individual performing the functions of a foreign agent

In the early days of 2021, the Pskov region became the hero of federal television channels. But not as a center of tourism in a pandemic, but simply there was no light. While the capitals are surprised at the features of life in the outback, the Pskovichi are steadily preparing for a long Blackaut: last year he dragged on for five days. The correspondent of the Sever. Realiy sorted out how long it could last this time.

“Today I was looking for wax candles in stores, I did not find it - they bought it until the New Year, I will do Lucin, the 21st century,” writes Yuri Baranov , a resident of the Ostrovsky district. Here, from January 1, several villages are de -energized. “But on TV, everything is beautiful, and in fact two days on the generator and no advancement, there used to be two emergency shows,” adds Anton Phillipov .

Ostrovsky activist Roman Ladyshchenko says that rural power lines in the area are in a neglected state, including due to "optimization" of employees.

- Now there are no crackers in races. In 2019, many specialists left. In general, the last ten years have been reduced, the extreme in 2019. Putin's stability looks this way: tariffs are rising, professionals are dismissed, staff staff are reduced. With this approach, interruptions in the supply of electricity will be all year round and throughout the region, Ladyshchenko believes.

Snow snow

Residents from the village of Barbashi, the Pskov district, in social networks write that they rented a room in the hotel for the elderly and children, and they themselves remained in the dark house: "We are calling a single room, we hear music there, and then everything is turned off. There is no information."

I brought drinking water to them, and for the rest they drown snow, as before

- My mother Albina Petunova - a doctor known for the whole Pskov, dad Nikolai Petunov - an inventor, worked at the radio factory, and now these elderly people who have done so much for the country are sitting in the village of Tukhovik without electricity. I brought drinking water to them, and for the rest they drown snow, as before. The river is nearby, but now you can’t get to it now: the slope is very slippery and dangerous. When snow or wind, electricity is often turned off, last time they sat for five days without light in the spring, ”says Denis Petunov .

Near the tube of the power line was cleaned from the trees two years ago - they made a new clearing. At the same time, they “cut out the site where there was business wood - they carefully drank and took it out”, explains Petunov, and they did not process the second part, where the “marshy plot and wilds from the bushes” did not. At the time of the release of the material, electricity in the tube was not fixed.

Tatyana Ovcharova with her husband and children, one of whom is disabled, lives in the village of Soborovye-3, 20 minutes drive from Pskov. Her electricity also disappeared on the first day of the New Year, together with him, 300 inhabitants left communication, sewage, water and food - refrigerators were defrosted. Residents of private houses climbed into the basements for jams and twisting-for themselves and share with those who are deprived of, inhabitants of apartment buildings in the Cereal-3.

Everything in the village is tied with electricity, there is no gas, they will also be heated due to electricity

- In the evening of January 1, the light turned off overnight, mobile communications disappeared at once, and a home phone turned off. We went to the city to find out what was happening. The condition was terrible: my child is disabled, God forbid, what would happen, I can’t even call an ambulance. We are cut off from everything! There is not even water. Everything in the village is tied to electricity, there is no gas, they will also be heated due to electricity. Well, we have not yet thrown a stove, and the neighbors have +4 in the apartment, and they have small children! We went to the city again to buy hot food - to feed the family. Our freezers ran everyone. Yesterday, she raised the whole village to her feet, even wrote to Putin’s page on Instagram, ”says Ovcharova. The light, according to her, was included on January 3, but there is still no connection. Tatyana is wondering who will now compensate them for losses: "During floods and fires, the compensation is laid, but we also have losses."

With a stove and a candle

In the village of Vanza of the Nevelsky district, electricity disappeared on December 29 and has not returned so far.

For all this time, according to the 85-year-old local resident Nina Olkhovskaya , the authorities never arrived in the village, did not organize the transportation of food or drinking water. On January 3, her 60-year-old daughter went to submit an application to the prosecutor's office. There, she was met by the inter -district prosecutor , Alexander Butylin , however, he refused to accept the appeal at first: he explained that he was on duty "not at the place of work, but at the place of residence," and suggested sending an electronic statement. The elderly woman was confused, but, fortunately, her daughter was nearby. Yana Zaitseva popularly explained to the prosecutor why the application for the absence of electricity should still be taken in paper form. The prosecutor heeded and assured that everyone is under control and the brigades are working.

There are not even candles in Nevel stores now. Ended on the 30th

- Mom and grandmother are now escaping, only charging phones from the battery, which brought a friend from St. Petersburg. There are not even candles in Nevel stores now. The end of the 30th ended. I am most outraged by the position of the district administration. Why do they not go around the settlements in the morning and in the evening and are not interested in whether something is needed. And we also have a pandemic now. Settlement of emergencies should be spelled out in the charter of the district, but they do not even declare this regime, ”Zaitseva is indignant.

Natalya Vinogradova lives in the plussky district in the village of Serbovo. The light went out there on January 1 at 23:40. “The beginning of the end of the world,” the locals joked in social networks when the phones were still charged.

“Together with electricity, heating disappeared, the power engineers today said that about 100 villages were still without light, and there would be three brigades and there would be no help,” says Vinogradova on January 3. - Electricity is not almost anywhere from the pluses to us. Only stoves and generator save, but this is damage in gasoline expenses. A small generator, which is enough for household appliances and heater, costs about 15 thousand. The gasoline tank of 27 liters is enough for a day: from 9 a.m. to one in the morning.

Electricity in the plussky district is not the first time. And residents already have the experience of a weekly locaun.

And the administration is resting, they have light

There were no more than two days in the Vempestsky district in the village of Idrika, the villages of Tombsino, Kuznetsovka, Toroshino and Boyarinovo and even in the city itself.

-I perfectly understand that all the forces have been abandoned, as noted in the dispatch, but still to whom did these forces turn on the light? We are on Matrosov Street, for example, we sit without light and communication. And the administration is resting, they have light, - on January 3, Ekaterina Pertseva from Idritsa says. - Our second night is all turned off. I see from the window how lights burn, and in houses - as in the Stone Age. Yesterday there was no water. At the same time, we pay for the light as a city. I have a small house, water from the station, and then from 1200 rubles it turns out, no less!

Maria Yurkova from the Sebezh village of Kuznetsovka on the same day reported that drinking water was running out. "In the store of eggplants and bottles of water since yesterday there is no longer! Can at least generate generators for water towers?" She wrote on social networks. Without light, the blacksmith is sitting today. They did not fix the electricity in Idritsa.

If the wind or snow, do not go to the fortuneteller, be sure to cut off something

The deputy of the Novousitovsky volost of the Palkin district, Maria Levchenko, says that her electricity disappeared on the night of January 2, was already repaired, but along the roads they sag wires, which at any time can break off under the weight of snow.

- We have shutdown - regularly. Once every six months, as on a schedule: if the wind or snow-do not go to the fortuneteller, something will definitely cut off. Two days sat last year. I just had chickens hatched from an incubator, and this shutdown was not on time. If the light turns off, here a person remains with a stove and a candle. Water pumps on electricity, freezers in people turn off - it turns out the 19th century. It’s good if there is a spring in the village, like ours, ”Levchenko shares.

Icy rain and snowfall

The census of streets, houses, villages and villages of the Pskov region, left without electricity, water and heating, can be found in each district community in VKontakte. People write about freezing children and sick relatives, that there is no money on the generator, they are trying to sharpen about "getting up from the knees and jerks", share the addresses of the stores, where the candles are still left.

Under the posts of the governor on Instagram, several hundred comments about “no light and communication”, “freezing for the third day”, “throw products from the New Year”. Each of the official account of PJSC IDGC North-West in the comments writes: "They answered Direct." On the eve of energy, from the same account, the audience was informed that the electricity in the region was gone due to adverse weather conditions and that it took time to eliminate the consequences of snowfall and ice rain. “Now many lines are simply not to drive, so we are forced to first clear the road. Even new supports break from snow and rain. To deliver and install them, it also needs time,” employees of PJSC IDGC North-West answered people.

On January 2, a specialist in the North. Realist, on January 2, repeated the version of bad weather on the phone and said that, according to his information, there was no electricity throughout the Pskov region.

-We ourselves cannot contact the dispatchers due to the large number of calls. So far, unfortunately, I can not orient you by recovery time-work is underway, ”admitted the employee of PJSC IDGC North-West.

On January 2, the Ministry of Energy reported that they take special control of the situation with the energy supply of consumers in the Pskov region. According to the ministry, mass disconnects occurred due to the sticking of wet snow on the wires.

"Without power supply, part of household consumers remained in 1008 settlements of Opochetsky, Pskov, Pechora, Ostrovsky, Palkin and Gdovsky districts (about 16,200 people) and 13 socially significant objects," the press service of the Ministry of Energy noted.

I heard in the news that in the Pskov region everything is already fine when I flew to the village with my parents with a generator

The Governor of the Pskov Region Mikhail Vedernikov in his Instagram said that "without power supply, hundreds of settlements of the Pskov region left ice rain and heavy snowfall" that on January 2 there was a meeting of the opera station, diesel generators will be put in the districts, and specialists from other regions will come to the region.

"That is, today you can not wait for electricity supply?" - asked him in the comments Natalya Mikolikova from the Pskov district. In addition to her, 390 more residents of the region left comments under this post.

- I heard in the news that in the Pskov region everything is already fine and in the evening everything would turn on when I flew to the village to parents with a generator. This is what the local government can! - Grits Petunov. - And of course, there was no electricity at that moment. There is no connection there and now.

On January 3, the press service of PJSC IDGC North-West did not respond to the calls of the North. Reali correspondent, and the answering machine on the main line said: “The company’s specialists work around the clock for the speedy recovery of power supply. To eliminate the consequences of ice rain and heavy snowfall, all forces and funds are mobilized. We are planned to apologize until January 23. inconvenience. "

The regional department of the Ministry of Emergencies could not comment on the situation and said that energy sections have operational data. In the operational forecast on January 4 on the official website, the agency warns that snow can go, and warns: "Damage (breaks) of power transmission lines and communication lines with probability (up to 0.4) in the region (source - wear of electric networks) are possible." On Monday morning, an SMS newsletter came from the Ministry of Emergencies with the same content.

Pskov region - a region of constant temperature transitions through zero in the winter period

On the evening of January 3, the official account of the administration of the Pskov region stated that Governor Mikhail Vedernikov reported to President Vladimir Putin to eliminate the consequences of ice rain: "About 6 thousand inhabitants of the region are left without electricity. The final consequences are planned to be eliminated by the evening of tomorrow."

- Not snow is a problem. Ice on wires is a problem! This is actually a serious factor, ”says one of the leading employees of PJSC IDGC North-West. - An ice crust forms on the wires, it sharply burns the weight of the wire. Old wires break off. Here are the energy and rush, restoring them. Pskov region - a region of constant temperature transitions through zero in the winter. In a good way, it is necessary to carry out a complete replacement of wires with more modern ones. But this is a lot of money. Nobody will give them in the tariff. And the budget mechanism has not been working for a long time.

According to him, the Pskov branch of IDGC North-West is on long-term regulation: from 2018 to 2022, the share of repairs in the tariff was rigidly recorded. This also applies to the number of repair personnel, and the number of brigades for emergency recovery. It will not work out to translate the nets underground in the coming years either.

- In large cities and so, if possible, everything is transferred to the cable. And you can dream about New Vasyuki for a long time, ”he says. - Digging the earth is a very expensive solution. The choice of construction method-a cable or electrolyte-always balances between a higher cost of laying a cable, less cost of laying a line, the cost of landing under the power transmission line and the impossibility of building something on this earth. If you do not need to build anything, then, of course, they will put a power line. If in this place the city center or dense housing is planned, then a cable may be designed.
