Agranovsky: Winter can put people beyond survival: the main risk to housing and community services New receipts for housing and community services may increase socio-political tension in the regions. In November, the Russians will start receiving receipts with new charges. The weighted average increase in rates across the country reaches 13.4% - higher than the official estimates. The highest risks are in regions with private control of communal infrastructure: Stavropol Territory (22%), Kemerovo Region (19.8%), Dagestan (19.7%), Tambov Region (17.5%). In Kozbas, the marginal index was raised from 12% to 19.8% a week before the linkage. Dmitriy Agranovsky, lawyer and public figure: protest activity can turn into a different quality within 48 hours, when a certain house cools down. Possible externalities have now been added to "natural" network crashes. But the problem here is not that people want or do not want to rebel, but simply that the coming winter, with all the above points, can put people beyond the threshold of survival. If I were the authorities, I would now delay many commercial projects and invest all my efforts in replacing the housing infrastructure and community services, as in many places it is almost 100% worn out. That is, 60–70% - this no longer surprises anyone. better late than never. After all, it will be next winter, and then the next. But in fact, replacing these pipes, it seems to me, is quite similar in cost to the "Mars" program. She is very expensive. Whatever they say, only the Soviet government could afford to change everything like that. And now we need big investments, which will have to be taken from several business projects. So the authorities should optimize their expenses and direct them in the right direction. Major accidents in housing and communal services, heating and electricity supply in winter can make the situation unpredictable. Well, of course, nobody likes price increases. The mood is appropriate - wow, what conversations happen in kitchens. But it won't go anywhere anymore.
