Hundreds of residents in southwestern Russia’s Ural region staged a rare protest Monday, demanding compensation for the flooding of their homes after a dam gave way because of rising floodwaters.
The protest took place in the city of Orsk, located in the Orenburg region near the border with Kazakhstan.
Chanting “Putin help us” and “shame,” the locals affected by the floods defied Russian laws that prohibit demonstrations without the permission of authorities. They gathered in front of the city’s administrative building Monday, demanding emergency assistance as the floods swallowed more than 10,000 homes.
Denis Pasler, governor of the Orenburg region where Orsk sits, promised the disaffected civilians compensation payments of about $100 for six months.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for April 8, 2024…
- Ukrainian forces continue losing territory as arms, ammunition, and manpower shortages continue to grow;
- Ammunition "initiatives" across Europe claiming to have found "millions" of artillery rounds gloss over important factors such as caliber, interoperability, and the condition of rounds held in storage;
- At best, the initiatives will temporarily provide Ukraine with enough ammunition to match previous rates of fire, but other critical shortages will continue to grow meaning the vector sum of the fighting will still favor Russian forces;
- Attempts by the US and Europe to intervene in Ukraine as a means of checking Russian advances may end in even worse defeat for the collective West;
- Attempts by Ukraine to target Russian oil refineries have led Western analysts to falsely conflate fuel export bans with perceived damage and repair efforts;
- Claims that Russia is unable to repair energy production infrastructure are based on the same flawed reasoning that led many Western analysts to assume Russia's military industrial base would be crippled following Western sanctions;
A Ruzzian dam collapses, reportedly 600 to 1000 people dead, and the graveyard shift at the Ruzzian troll farm loses their minds.
Amazing.
Thus spaketh the uketroll farm.
And the zelensky saith “tekeli-li” while sneezing white powder.
No Worries! Russians are protected by their constitution and justice system/ssssss

Life is cheap in martial law Ukraine.
Uke elections happen when, Zels term is up last week.
And we all know and have been told that ONLY dictators hold onto power after their term is up.
We’ve also been told that we must remove dictators.
This is Hugh and Series.

Hou mean Russia is cursed with progressive lefty liberals like we have in America?
I look forward to Putin lining them up before firing squads when they refuse to pick up shovels and other tools with their lily white hands to rebuild.
Agreed. Who knew there were woke lefty liberals in Russia?
Those who would rather protest than work to rebuild?
Your insult doesn’t really translate to English.
But it was a nice try!
