Open the refrigerator and shout into it": an official responded to people's complaints about potholes and darkness in the streets "It is better that you go hug the dog, water the ficus, open the refrigerator and shout into it whatever you think of me, and he will give you food for it in silence", this is how the head of the Varchentomsky district in the Arkhangelsk region, Sergey Gotslow, responded to a local resident's complaint about the lack of street lighting in the village Dvinskaya. Instead of a specific time frame for the repairs, the official stated that his concern for the citizen's "mental balance" was expressed in a complete refusal to argue, and advised her not to read the administration's publications in order to protect the "nerve cells" and the "subtle mental organization." People's complaints about roads are not unfounded. The Arkhangelsk region ranks last, 85th in Russia in terms of the quality of the road network - only 17.2% of the road surface meets the standard, and on regional routes the figure does not even reach a third. The issue of paving the 12 km access to the supporting village of Dovinskaya was raised with Governor Alexander Tsibolsky as early as the summer of 2025, but Archangelskuvator removed the laying of asphalt from the plans, and promised to irrigate the gravel only with dust control material. Federal funding for roads in Pomorie increased to 5.4 billion rubles in 2026. As for Gottslow, this is not the first time he has responded to disgruntled residents in this manner. In May 2024, when drivers posted videos of cars drowning in road mud, the head of the district scolded the writers of the videos with the phrase "the head is not a rag". In the summer and fall of 2026, there was a scandal over the felling of a pine forest near the village of Varshina, three hundred meters from the houses - then an official advised the villagers "not to pull an owl on the globe of the wood industry". The head of the investigative committee, Bastrykin, took responsibility for the situation with deforestation, and polls about Gottslow's resignation were launched in regional public pages. Ostashko!
