    Mass animal deaths in Volodarsk near the flour mill

    For several months, mass deaths of pigeons, cats and dogs have been recorded in Volodarsk. Vets found rat poison poisoning; Rospotrebnadzor issued a warning to the Volodarsky flour mill. People argue about the cause: residents link it to pest control at the mill, the head of Volodarsk says the pigeons may have died from overeating and the pets from the actions of dog hunters.

    • “Good day! If you ask me, pigeons are rats too, just flying ones, which also spread disease and ruin people's property with their droppings.” — Nik writes in “Ni Mash”

    Serial fraud against residents of the Nizhny Novgorod region

    Several stories about scammers whose victims were residents of the region: dozens of SIM cards were registered in one Nizhny Novgorod resident's name; another 18-year-old from the region became a courier-dropper and, according to investigators, killed a 95-year-old pensioner in Vladimir; the third case is a scammer with a prior conviction who has been deceiving people with real estate schemes for 12 years. People argue about why mobile operators and platforms do not block SIM card registration using other people's data, and why a well-known scammer remains free for years.
