A moose fell into a cellar in Pochinki and ate the winter stores
In Pochinki, on Zarechnaya Street, a young moose came out of the swamp, wandered between the houses and fell into the cellar of a private home, where it spent several days and ate the owner's supplies. The animal was pulled out with an excavator and then escorted to the edge of the forest. In the comments under the video people joke about whether the moose should have been saved or turned into canned stew.

Gorodets residents complain of repeated waves of chemical odor

In the summer yellow smoke rose over the town from a new plywood plant; district head Alexander Mudrov took the situation under control and, according to reports, things returned to normal, but the stench has come back.
