Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin has not prepared the most pleasant “surprise” for Muscovites and residents of Russian metropolitan cities. The AvtoVzglyad portal suggested how a charity to help the inhabitants of the Kherson region escape from the war zone could lead to a sharp deterioration in the daily lives of the indigenous inhabitants of Russian megacities.
The acting governor of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo appealed to the Russian authorities for help with the departure of the inhabitants of the region to other parts of Russia. And today the government of the Russian Federation met the ambitions of the local leader. Through the mouth of Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, it promised to provide free (!) housing in every region of Russia to anyone who wants to move outside the Kherson region. This plan is carried out through the mechanism of housing certificates, which can be spent on the purchase of an apartment / house – both new and on the secondary market. And something suggests that a reasonable resident of the Kherson region is unlikely to want to move anywhere in Siberia. He will most likely immediately “grind the skis” in the direction of the capital of the Russian Federation.
Even if the cash equivalent of the certificate is calculated at average Russian prices per square meter of living space, it should be enough for an apartment in some Khimki or Mytishchi. That’s obviously cooler than, say, a private sector home in the suburbs of Kherson—a shack with street amenities and a water column behind the fence. How does this relate to the capital’s transport problems? Yes immediately! Now, according to rough estimates, about 500,000 people live in the Kherson region. It is unlikely that they will all break loose to conquer Moscow in one go.
But even if at least 200,000 refugees “fill up” in the capital overnight, the city won’t think it small. Firstly, public transport feels it right away. Getting out of the same Khimki in the morning to work in the center of Moscow is a problem today, but with immigrants it becomes a different task. Secondly, in the capital there will be a sharp increase in cars with number plates from the Kherson region. They themselves put an extra burden on the road network. And their drivers, due to their unwillingness to drive in Moscow traffic, will regularly cause traffic accidents and associated traffic jams. In general, after the influx of residents from Kherson to Moscow, local roads will become much more “jammed” and dangerous places.
There is another aspect of the issue – with housing certificates for Kherson residents. For them, as you know, the Ministry of Finance promised to promptly find the necessary funding in the budget. Meanwhile, in Russia, just early this year, nearly 300,000 of our Russian orphans, orphanage graduates, were on the waiting list for housing by law. It’s interesting: who prevented (and prevents!) the Treasury Department from taking funding for them and abruptly seeking funding? It turns out there is money! Everything is clear: it is necessary to help people who are attacked by a military operation. But damn it! Why is it unfortunate for the funds for their low income?
