- Congratulations on Epiphany, dear Russians, what else can be said? - editor-in-chief of FORUM.msk Anatoly Baranov commented. - It's very cold to bathe in Russia, here you are care of citizens... I will remind that this season preparation for winter failed all over the country, so accidents on heat supply system in Petersburg and Ekaterinburg were actually planned. They also planned in the USSR but differently - anyway no one could recollect something similar in Leningrad and Sverdlovsk. This winter being not so cold will be remembered in general for a long time - people will remember light and water switching-offs, breaks of heating plants with victims among population, I believe a lot of other things - after all only half of winter passed. Authorities in Russia in general don't bear any responsibility. For example, attack of governor Matvienko because of death of a child from icicle falling but in fact it's possible that it's not her personal fault. While she and city administration is entirely guilty of the fact that heating systems appeared not ready to winter. For some reason it seems to me that the governor won't answer either for scalded ass of citizen of Slovakia, or for problems of townspeople with boiled water flood during holiday. If it was some minister or even someone supreme got his ass into boiled water - then certainly she would. Whether there's only one ass in Petersburg, while Matvienko is unique...
