#housing #russia #karelia Almost one and a half million Russians are waiting to be resettled from dilapidated housing. In Karelia, this is every ninth resident. The authorities promise to provide them with new apartments, but in reality, most people are forced to spend decades in old barracks without sewage or heating. When asked for help, officials answer: "There is no money." At the same time, Russia spends about 30 billion rubles on just one day of the war with Ukraine.

A year later, the republic topped this anti-rating.
