Residents of Sudzhansky District responded to

Residents of Sudzhansky District responded to Alexander Bogachev’s dismissal with applause. According to a 7x7 subscriber who attended the meeting, the venue was so overcrowded that some attendees were left waiting in the hallway.

Additionally, Governor Alexey Smirnov assured residents that they would receive housing vouchers and would retain rights to property destroyed in the war. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin, and Minister of Transport and former Kursk Oblast head, Roman Starovoit, were also present at the meeting.

On November 12, the prosecutor’s office issued a warning to the Kursk Oblast governor concerning delays in providing housing compensation to displaced persons.

A story in seven chapters

Residents of Sudzhansky District, which saw an incursion by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in August 2024, demanded a meeting with officials on November 10 during a gathering on Red Square in Kursk. Approximately 120 people attended, urging authorities to acknowledge that the country is at war, to hold accountable those responsible for allowing the AFU’s advance, and to address their housing concerns. Anatoly Drogan, a representative of the Kursk Oblast government for domestic policy, declared these demands "unlawful" and called for information about the event’s organizers to be disclosed.

In October, the regional Ministry of Construction refused to issue housing vouchers to displaced persons, arguing that doing so would cause an "outflow of the workforce" from the region.
