November 23rd, Smolensk region, Vyazemsky district. We have been without electricity and mobile communication for two days now.
At this point, more than 200t settlements have been de-energized, 45,000 people are without electricity, and this is only in the Vyazemsky district. Plus Gagarin, Safonovsky, and other adjacent regions and districts.
A team from Rosseti came to us to cut trees that are potentially dangerous for power lines. They reported on the situation in the area that everything is bad, but they will try to connect us now.
It didn't work out now, but at 18 o'clock the electricity appeared! We were without him for 49 hours.
And we are the lucky few who got everything connected so quickly. The next day, an emergency situation was introduced in the area.
There are no generators in the shops, there are no gas stoves and cylinders, they say there are no candles either, although I calmly bought decorative ones in fixprice.
We are not deluding ourselves and expect that the electricity will be turned off again. At least to repair wire breaks. Now the wire from the pole to the sister's house has been torn off.
And they are cut off just by snow, without trees.
In a field outside the village, wires from a high-voltage power line were cut off, too, without the help of trees.
We are waiting for icy rains.
