“We remain homeless!” shouted one of the protesting women. She was joined by others who wanted to know when they would receive a certificate that they should be allocated apartments “off the waiting list” as soon as possible. People also complain that they have not received financial assistance since the fall.
According to the newspaper Kommersant, Chinštejn tried to calm them down and claimed that the responsibility for the situation lies with local “corrupt officials who are still at risk of criminal prosecution”.

According to the Telegram channel, the acting governor also promised the protesters a working meeting for the next week, which should be attended by one representative for each family. At the same time, he reminded the demonstrators that “the anti-terrorist operation regime, announced in the area after the invasion of Ukrainian forces, does not allow gatherings of more than 50 people”.
In Russia, during the current “special military operations”, as the war in Ukraine is compulsorily called, protests due to draconian punishments are very rare. In Kursk, however, Russian war refugees demonstrated repeatedly. Some time ago, there was speculation on social networks that this is why Russian President Vladimir Putin changed the governor of the Kursk Oblast at the end of last year.
He became the “forged” propagandist Alexandr Chinštejn. He replaced Alexey Smirnov, even though he secured a significant majority of votes in the September regional elections with the support of the Kremlin.
The Russian army, which is slowly advancing in the east of Ukraine, has still not managed to dislodge the Ukrainian forces that have been operating there since last summer from the Kursk region. The deployment of North Korean soldiers did not help either. The war in Ukraine has been going on for almost three years.
