«En el pueblo de Kriusha, cerca de Ryazan», escribe en su fotorreportaje drugoi, «en la mañana del 29 de julio todas las casas de la calle principal, la escuela y hasta el cementerio se quemaron en un minuto. Los bosques cercanos todavía arden. Los habitantes consiguieron salir a la calle, pero solo salvaron lo más importante, documentos, dinero. Ivan y Sasha, les llevaron cosas de Moscú, había un sitio en su coche para mí, así como para el corresponsal de Izvestiya. Depositamos las ropas en el club y la comida en el hospital donde ahora vive la gente sin hogar. Parece que han superado el primer golpe y tienen confianza en el futuro. «El gobernador estuvo aquí, prometió construir nuevas casas para todos», dijeron. La gente está tranquila, no tienen ese sentimiento apocalíptico que nos embarga a la vista de la calle principal arrasada. Se sobrepondrán, tienen esperanza. Lo más difícil vendrá en septiembre y octubre, cuando lleguen las lluvias, el fuego se extinguirá y por allá arriba se olvidarán de estos pueblos. Entonces la gente de estos lugares tendrá que arreglárselas sola» | | “In the village of Kriusha near Ryazan”, writes in his photo report drugoi, “on the morning of July 29 all the houses of the main street, the school and even the cemetery burned down in one minute. The nearby forests are still burning. The inhabitants managed to escape to the street, but they could whip up only the most important things, documents, money. Ivan and Sasha brought them things from Moscow, there was a place in their car for me as well as for the correspondent of Izvestiya. We deposited the clothes in the club, and the food in the hospital where the homeless people live now. They seemed to be over the first shock, and they have trust in the future. “The governor was here, he promised that they would build new houses for all”, they say. People are calm, they do not have that apocalyptic feeling which catches us at the sight of the destroyed main street. They endure, they have hopes. The most difficult will come around September and October when the rains will come, fire will die out, and up there everyone will forget about these villages. Then the local people will have to rely exclusively on themselves.” |

It is so sad to know this. I hope there will be a great help for those in need. I once was near a conflagration in Greece where I live, it was sad and scary at the same time.
Yes, I remember the shocking images and reports on the wildfires in Greece in the last year. In Russia it is even more terrible not only because of their unimaginably vast extension, but because the country did not have this experience in previous years.
Russian government does indeed promise to help those in need and to rebuild houses. They also have the financial means for that. I hope very much they would fulfill their promises.
Thank you for your solidarity!
It's not solely scary. It's killing! It looks like the world is sitting and observing waiting for the final. But like the USSR collapse this wildfire in Russia will influence the entire world. That's what I mean saying 'killing'. I am not a great champion of the USSR. On the contrary. But when an ulcer is operated by an amateur, pus spills.
