Russia boasts a massive energy infrastructure, but a recent wave of heating system breakdowns has left many of its citizens scrambling to keep the frost outside. We are still using the communal infrastructure that was made during the Soviet era," said Svetlana Razvorotneva, a Russian lawmaker and member of the committee in charge of urban engineering. “We did not invest in modernization. Instead, we invested in maintaining all that outdated infrastructure.”
The governor also accused the plant’s owners of being unreachable during the current crisis, pointing out that two of them lived abroad. The issue apparently drew the attention of Russian President Vladimir Putin — he ordered Vorobyov to nationalize the heating facility.
Imagine living in a different time zone and not picking up a call in the middle of the night, only to find out the next day that your government just joinked your entire plant because they messed up the heating infrastructure and needed someone else to blame.

Tex wishes it were the other way around, the fucking nonces
This is the best summary I could come up with:
This week, at least 16 people suffered burns in the city of Nizhny Novgorod when a large-bore heating pipe exploded, spouting boiling water into the street.
Experts warned that the heating network in Russiais poorly maintained and outdated — especially in the areas that have massively increased their population density since the Soviet times.
Due to restrictions on access to the ammunition factory, civilian officials were unable to prepare the boiler room for winter or monitor issues in real-time, according to the outlet.
While some heating-related incidents happen every winter in Russia, this season has seen successive heating failures in multiple cities, from Novosibirsk in Siberia to Moscow and St. Petersburg to the western exclave of Kaliningrad.
Recently, the Kremlin has started taking a more direct role in managing the heating grid, and federal authorities signaled they would be freeing up more funds.

let them freeze.
Most Russian people have committed no crime, and many do not support what their leader has done. We should not condem people for the country they were born in.
most russians do not support their leader and country? Have you been high for the last 2 years or what?
Would you be comfortable with the world treating americans as nazis once and if Trump is reelected, or you want us to do the exception and differentiate between assholes and not-assholes?
if they become a comical evil country that tries to destroy our values and rights, supress sexual minorities and invades their neighbour countries, then yes
That sounds pretty neat and everything, but that is exactly what the USA does all over the world and has been doing over a century. I’m not puting russia and USA on the same table cause I would prefer 1000 times USA over russia, but having some compasion for people that isn’t holding a gun or is freezing because of a war they didn’t ask for wouldn’t hurt. Puting everything on the same bag is what fascist do.
It would perhaps be a wake up call for the apathetic majority.

Wow, infrastructure breakdown left 20,000 without heat for a few days? That’s not news. A good storm in the northeast can knock the power system out for days here. Just more mindless propaganda trying to make you think a certain way.
Absolutely on point.
Totally not a big thing. It was Ukranazi children in Moscow. Russia just hit their own infrastructure to save all of them.
Use logic! Fucking libtard Nazis, am I right?!
It’s been terrifyingly cold this year in parts of Canada. I imagine it’s been a similar phenomenon in Russia?
