This was reported by a reader of charter97.org Elena Ryzo. Her father retired lives in a house on the street Chernyakhovsky, 12 in Vitebsk, regularly pays for major repairs at home, and repair, as such, still no.

"Our main streets look quite attractive: insulated, plastered and painted walls of houses. Beautiful signs. But only the facades. And come into the yard, hidden from view from the street - and you see that in the photo: ragged walls, crumbling balconies, on which it is impossible to set foot without the risk of parting with life. In this house lives my father, he was 78 years old. In the house most of the people of retirement age. Of course, run to the housing office and the executive committee of many do not have health and strength. That's putting up with this situation. Money for repairs, including major pay regularly. My father wrote to the housing office on the balcony, in response: "wait"... How to wait - did not say. And what to expect, too. Maybe death? He is almost 80..." - she laments.
