In Viciebsk, in the apartment of a large family Matveevs, home to three children - nine-year Timothy, five-year and two-year Tihomir Tikhon - by order of the chairman of the condominiums has been disconnected power supply.
"With payments for electricity, we all right - says the mother of many children. - Yes, there is a small debt for utilities - the husband, the businessman started in the spring of problems with orders, and are moving to a new apartment, the repair costs ... in March and moved in the last month or two is almost paid off the debt. I do not know what caused such tough measures. I associate them with the fact that my husband, as a member of the audit commission condominiums, signed not quite pleasing to the chairman of the Audit Act. As a result, we have gone bad in the fridge a lot of products, the washing machine is not included, children bathe in the bath by candlelight. How to live
This news is certainly required an immediate response. Phone numbers of the chairman of condominiums. A pleasant female voice says yes, the electricity is turned off. For non-payment. Publicized incident in the whole country is not afraid of the Chairman. Even despite the fact that long before the energy industry have family there. The law supposedly gives it the right to disconnect debtors anything - electricity, water, sewer. Status parents with many children, they say, does not guarantee a delay of payments. Learning that our conversation is being recorded, the interlocutor changes tone: all comments made during business hours only.
The intervention of the journalist had no impact on the situation of electricity, but the next morning to the house of representatives Matveevs come gymnasium and kindergarten. It explains that received alarming information, and they are forced to examine the living conditions of children. Like this. First, in the apartment, which has built a large family with the help of the state, someone his sole decision creates an unacceptable situation for the children, and then go to check ...
In a conversation with me teachers say they know Matveevs only the good side. Portrait of a senior, Timothy, hanging on the Honor Board school, always well-groomed and checked on the garden comes the middle child, is about to be enrolled in kindergarten group younger. I also visited the family. I met with the kids, make sure no electricity, kindly envied original ideas repair of housing - Matveeva built one- and two-bedroom apartments on the same landing and very grateful for the government support. Without it, the new home would be impossible. Yes, I have to live on site is - the work in the home has no end, everything comes down to finances. But for the children here have everything you need. Unusual way, and parents themselves Natalia graduated from the Police Academy, her husband, Sergei studied at the Russian Military Space Academy, served in Baikonur.
The paradox - a bold, smart and determined people were weak and helpless stranger arbitrariness. Yes, they are not sitting idly by, written complaints and went to authorities, only affect the chairman of condominiums has been difficult.
"At the time of the trip we had about two million rubles of debt - shows zhirovki Sergei. - This, together with the membership fee. But these calculations, we do not particularly trust. Goofs mass explanations cannot achieve. That is, look to us for a while instead of five people sent bills for ten. "
Documents, copies of complaints, inquiries and sales from the absence of debt for electricity - folder swells, but the apartment is still dark. All tips Matveevs go to court, but that the case could drag on for a few months ...
The light on this dark eventually shed in the administration of Pervomaisky district of Viciebsk. Deputy Head of Administration Michael Atayev said, the problem he is familiar, but I was sure that she was allowed. Chairman of the association for a long time requested to rectify a misunderstanding. It clarified that no electricity, no gas management condominiums are not allowed to turn off as supplying the organization has signed contracts for those services directly to residents. The legal assessment of the actions with regard to Matveevs give competent authorities.
It would seem that the conflict is settled. But after a large family in the apartment was lit bulb in the mail they sent a new threat. At this time the chairman of the association promised to dismantle the revolving doors ... Now Matveeva afraid to absent himself from home, after previously obtained bitter experience convinces sad "surprises" are real. Walking in the fresh air for the kids aside. Rather than deal with the upbringing of children and tidy new building, Natalia and Sergei have to resist - they now take turns on duty at the door, become another stumbling block, and parallel to collect documents for filing a lawsuit in court. Spoiled products and preparations, as well as spent on empty debates nerves, it is, according to the lawyers, to assess in monetary terms.
Anton Volkov, a senior assistant prosecutor of Viciebsk region to oversee the implementation of legislation on minors and young people, "the Prosecutor's Office of Viciebsk instructed to carry out checks on the application of a large family Matveevs. Acting chairman of the partnership will be assessed according to the law. It should be noted that in similar situations to families with minor children, for one reason or another in arrears for utilities, fit very carefully and very individual."
The reasons and circumstances, the most used payment deferral of repayment. Power cuts - an exceptional measure.
Decisions about power outages, noted in the management of housing and communal services of the Viciebsk oblast executive committee, received rare. As for families with small children, any action against them are carried out only with the permission of the guardianship.
