Some businesses are carrying out reconstruction work, but some people have been hired for a specific type of repair. They do not deal with emergencies as there are no such teams in the village. You can call a payphone and try to get one, or walk a few kilometres and write a request, but there is no one to come.
The residents of the so-called “lpr” were promised to recalculate their pensions according to the legislation of the russian federation. They talked about raising them. However, people are not credited either with preferential experience or some entries in their work record books regarding their total service. In the absence of relevant documents, it is quite difficult to find confirmation of the facts of work in labour records. Therefore, most people receive the smallest pensions like social pensions. They are not allowed to make an appointment to review their pension file. Residents of Lutuhyne and Lysychansk complain most often.
