Queues at filling stations and the odd-even system in Nizhny Novgorod Region
At the large chain filling stations of Nizhny Novgorod, volunteers resumed work from November 1. The odd-even refueling system remains in effect, and queues have been recorded, including in Arzamas and Pavlovo. Drivers are urged to fill up only as needed and not to cause a rush, but the queues and stockpiling of fuel in jerrycans continue.
- “You have to fill your own bucket right away to the brim, what if there's no gasoline later. With a population of 1.5 million, where 70% think that way, what do you think they'll do to the stations? And there's no information on whether the refinery is intact.” — Andrey Syroegin writes in “Ni Mash”

Residents complain about gas cutoff because of the company Sayany
Residents of an apartment building in Nizhny Novgorod were left without gas after the company Sayany found violations in one apartment and shut off the whole building. According to residents, the building was already cut off last year and reconnected after the remarks were fixed; there are also complaints about services being forced on them and inflated prices for parts. People argue about whether it is lawful to cut off a whole building over violations in one apartment, and whether it is legal to set prices for parts that, according to residents, are inflated fivefold.

Interior Ministry inquiry into a child being beaten in Gorodets
The regional Interior Ministry is conducting an inquiry based on a complaint from a Gorodets resident: on October 22, passersby drawn by a child's screams entered the forensic medical examination bureau building and saw a man beating a boy with a belt; when told to stop, he replied that he was doing it "for preventive purposes." People argue about whether physical punishment of children is acceptable: some commenters point out that under videos of "disobedient" children, the same people demand punishment.
