Is there in Donetsk


The story of everyday life in the capital of Donbass. Without mentioning how many shelling was last night, and how much this morning.
Everyone has heard that there seems to be a humanitarian catastrophe in Donetsk. There is nothing and no water. It is not true. Water supply, which stopped literally at one o'clock throughout the city, was absent for more than three days, has been restored. A group of technicians under the threat of deadly fragmentation fire, restored communications. The queues at the kiosk for the sale of water "on tap" disappeared.

As for the stable operation of communications, I’m talking about the main high-rise part of the city. Areas on the outskirts remain in a very uneven position. That in one light will disappear, then gas. Somewhere there is neither one nor the other for several days. Worse is the case in satellite towns, regional settlements. Communication with Miner, Gorlovka, Ilovaisk, Yasinovataya violated. Obviously, food products and, moreover, fuel, are no longer regularly delivered there. It is they who, after Lugansk region, need humanitarian assistance most of all.

Let's go back to Donetsk. Water, a full range of food products did not disappear from store shelves. Another question is that there are few open trading floors. But this is a simple commercial logic: you do not need a lot of shops, when there are only about a third left in the city. And the money from the remaining Donetsk residents is a bit: pensions, salaries of hundreds of thousands of people in the Donbass are not already paid for 2 − 3 a month. Therefore, dairy products, sausages, and alcohol on the shelves are increasingly untouched.

In the local market are occupied no more than a quarter of trading places. Traders call almost all the fruits of the Crimean, but do not recognize how the product reaches them. Prices are kept normal:
- There are no buyers, so why should we speculate?

There are unusual paradoxes. For example, two coffee houses opened in the center, a snack bar, which closed more than a month ago due to an “unfavorable situation”. Here, obviously, the point is this. The inhabitants of course are leaving, but those who remain, including the young, are really tired of the war. And they want to surround themselves, albeit an illusory, but peaceful reality. So they return to the places that used to visit "before the war." However, all this is really few peaceful. In institutions of these you will not meet more than ten civilians at the same time.

Two sensations accompany in this city. In addition to anxiety due to the frequent sounds of firing, the roar of shells: near and far, there is a feeling of confusion, loneliness. The empty streets of the metropolis look ridiculous, unnatural.

And the saddest person I met in Donetsk was a man who titled this article with his portrait. I did not ask his name. He, shocked, shocked, could not speak.

For many years he worked in a restoration workshop at the museum of local lore. And so, he came in the morning, having received from colleagues a message about shells entering the building. Entering his office, he found only dust and ruins. He did not even attempt to unearth the restoring for so long and with love historical objects (among them, by the way, and artifacts of the Great Patriotic War). While his colleagues in the museum took out from the heaps of concrete either the helmet of the Soviet soldier, already sewn with new fragments, or the fragments of ancient dishes, he simply stood, almost motionless, not recognizing anything around.

So, whether there is in Donetsk is not the most important and not the most tragic question.

      Freedom is given with blood


      In this case, freedom is won ..

      Well, the destruction of museums is barbarism.
      Like in ancient times:
      Burn all manuscripts and tear out languages ​​for historians. It's like tearing a piece of life out of your memory.

    Dill bastard! Why are they fucking the city? After all, it was clear from the very beginning that they would not storm, they all would fall without a trace there. I would judge those who gave orders to open fire in the cities, separately. These are not officers, some kind.

      Duc priest is not iron. To assert and shout at all angles about the victory and glory of Ukraine is one thing, but to climb under the bullets of those who defend their land is another. So ub..ki sit in the distance and shoot at the cities. It's so safe. And you don't look into the eyes of the one you came to "pacify". And since ukroSMI on the territory of Khokhlostan there is no alternative, then you become a priori a hero. That's the whole truth.

    The main thing is that the city is alive!

    Donetsk and Lugansk remind me of Leningrad during the blockade.

    Reminiscent of the fortitude of the inhabitants of the city.

      Edification for oneself
      Do not wait for the order!
      Don't sit
      Recalling peace!
      Forward! Through the winds and rains
      And the blizzards wolf howl!
      Leave comfort and coziness -
      While you are young - go!
      When they sing the waste
      Have time to relax!
      Be honest, dare, don’t notice
      Taunts and interference.
      And you will be older - answer
      Not for yourself - for everyone!
      The one who had no mistakes
      - In idleness
      - He did not dare the burden of life
      Try on your shoulders!
      Whatever your destiny
      - Good or bad,
      All remember:
      measure of your affairs
      Only God will appreciate!

    But what is interesting to me. What did those who rushed to evacuate from Donbass into the depths of the independent think and guide? They do not understand that all the bitterness of defeat will be poured out on them? And Donetsk and Lugansk will be rebuilt for a long time. And winter still chibanet over them.

    The second humanitarian column should go to Donetsk, so that people feel that they are not alone. That millions of Russians live the last months near them. Hard article.

    For all Odessa citizens, refugees from Donbass are the same as we are. Nobody humiliates them - because people have sorrow. Almost everyone I know has lost everything and their relatives (went out for bread and covered with a splinter ...)
    As far as I know, even refugees from Crimea did not meet humiliation in the Western Ukrainian regions, although they are "profitable for the media"
