Earlier, we reported how Krasnoyarsk endured almost two weeks of -40°C (-40°F) frosts.
And NGS24.RU journalist Maria Zarukina, for the sake of recalculation and fair savings on heating, experienced firsthand the long wait for SGC specialists and being passed around by management company employees. And she found out why Krasnoyarsk residents will pay for their +11°C (52°F) in apartments as if it were +26°C (79°F).
