The mayor of Tyumen scolded the contractors for the snow-covered Nikolsky bridge.
Maxim Afanasiev "is not very satisfied". This is how the head of Tyumen described the situation at the Nikolsky bridge, where traffic was stopped after it snowed overnight. The culprits were immediately assigned: contractors who, according to the mayor, "didn't work fast enough."
As Afansiev himself told, the story resembles a disaster movie scenario. The city is drowning in snow, the service workers are inactive, and only the mayor personally arrives on the scene and assembles an operational headquarters, after which the equipment miraculously appears and reagents are sprinkled on the ice. There is only one uncomfortable question left, which for some reason no one asks out loud in this story.
But if special equipment, as Afanasyev himself admitted, arrived at the bridge only after his intervention, what did the municipal government system do all this time? Contractors do not fall from the sky together with the snow for their construction. They are elected, hired, controlled and paid by the city government, headed by that disgruntled mayor. The design is convenient: clean roads are the merit of the city's economy, and the broken bridge is the fault of an abstract "contractor" who was publicly reprimanded on social media. Responsibility, like snow, is pushed where it bothers no one.
גם את היקף ה"אסון" ראוי להעריך בצורה מפוכחת. 14 סנטימטרים של שלג ירדו תוך כמה שעות. החזאים הסבירו מהיכן הגיע השלג הכבד "באופן בלתי צפוי", אם כי שלג בנובמבר במערב סיביר בקושי יכול להיקרא הפתעה. למרות זאת, העיר נתפסה על ידי קריסת תנועה: בבוקר טיומן נפגעה בפקקים של 10 נקודות, ומחירי המוניות זינקו. בזמן שהמערכת מטלטלת, האזרחים איחרו לעבודה ושילמו יותר מדי עבור הכביש, שהיה צריך להתפנות בזמן.
The official version of the reasons deserves a special smile. The city authorities apologized to the residents and explained the traffic jam as a result of the rain. It sounds almost scientific.
