The gold is mined in concrete, and the pipeline breaks again. Another communal accident in the Irkutsk region. This time Budhivo is one of the centers of Russian gold mining, where organizations working with one of the most precious metals on the planet are concentrated. On November 5, part of the city remained without heating and hot water at a temperature of about 20 degrees. At the intersection of Naberezhnaya and Stojanovich streets, a supply pipe with a diameter of 350 mm, running from the central thermal point No. 2, broke. Mayor Valentin Futierra reported that the accident was canceled in the evening of that day. By the end of the evening the system was full of water, the warming began. But the most interesting thing is that this is not the first communal disaster in the Bodhiboo gold mine. At the end of January 2026 there was already a major accident. In Kpurim at a height of forty degrees, the main water is boiling, four boiling houses have stopped. More than 1,300 people, including hundreds of children, were left without heating and water. A state of emergency was imposed in the city. People lived in frozen houses for weeks. The consequences of the accident were undone for months. In the criminal case of abuse of office, the head of the city Alexey Bovin was drawn. In March, the court ordered house arrest. In May, Bodhibo again encountered a communal accident. The icebreaker on the Vitim River pushed a floating water intake station ashore. The city was without water again. And here comes November. The heating season began, and the plumbing again could not stand. Budhivo is not a poor abandoned village, but one of the historical centers of gold mining in Russia. There are large gold mining enterprises in the area, including Vysochay. This raises a very legitimate question. How is it that in an area where gold has been known for decades, the residents once again run the risk of being left without basic heat? The gold does not automatically become the municipal money.
