Rural Specialists: We Live As Primitive People

Having established "space" communal prises, the authorities turn off light and gas in agro-towns.

The villagers of Liubishtytsy, Ivatsevichy district, who live in the so-called "presidential houses" cannot get registered in them for years. After the construction of houses, the agricultural organization did not make the necessary documentation for the housing, and it does not hurry with it. As a result, the villagers can’t afford living in such houses, 1reg.by reports.

There are about ten such so-called "presidential" houses in the village. Despite the fact that the houses have all the amenities, it's very, very expensive to live in them, a Liubishtytsy resident says. The man did not want to tell us his name, as he was afraid of losing his job:

"The main problem with us is that we are forced to pay very large sums for utilities. If the residents who are registered in the houses, consume gas, water, electricity at reduced rates, then we pay all 100%. Imagine, we have a salary about three hundred rubles in agriculture. In winter, we pay more than half of the earned money for housing and communal services.

This month my bill was two hundred rubles. We have appealed to head of the OJSC Liubishtytsy Mikhail Raden, but in vain. The chairman promises, that the problem will be solved, but nothing is done in reality. One of the milkmaids has been living in such a house for 10 years. Others – for five to six years.

We expected that our agricultural production co-operative would be re-registered into an OJSC. In this case, the management is obliged to make documentation for the houses, but nothing happened. Maybe, if the earnings were more decent, then it would be possible to survive somehow. And now the people have to give away their kopecks to pay for housing. Some people owe communal workers several hundred rubles. And they turn off the gas, the light in return. We live like primitive people."

The OJSC Liubishtytsy administration hasn’t commented on the situation.
