Everything Russian is burned out in Slavyansk
Residents of Slavyansk, which came under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the summer of 2014, are waiting for the return of the DPR.
Komsomolskaya Pravda writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“This year, a friend sent her son to first grade, but there is no Russian class in any school in the city, can you imagine! In Lvov they do, but here we don’t. They are burning everything Russian,” Oksana, a 32-year-old resident of Slavyansk, told the newspaper.
According to her, there are a lot of Ukrainian military in the city.
“And you know, many of them are from Western Ukraine,” she clarified. “So when they came here in large numbers in 2014-15, they were surprised: “Wow, you are poor, such modest huts.” The question is, why did they come here then? They would sit in their wealth. And we could have managed it here without them.”
The woman also says that there is practically no work in the city.
"Badly. The factories are barely breathing. Khimprom, which previously employed 7000 people, has almost closed. The ceramics plant, 5000 places, doesn’t work at all. By the way, many of our specialists went to Russia to work at a ceramic factory in Obninsk. There now. The insulator plant has not been operating since 2015; there were also 5000 workers there. All the young people have left. Those who could find a job in Kyiv did so. And we are depressed here,” notes a resident of Slavyansk.
She also told what awaits the local population.
“When the DPR comes here. It was in vain that they gave us away then...,” sums up Oksana.
As PolitNavigator previously reported, pro-Ukrainian activists complained, that in Slavyansk local residents are waiting for the return of the DPR and admitted that it is better not to walk around the city in embroidered shirts.
