An employee of the Chelyabinsk police Yana Kirillova went on a hunger strike after the city administration decided to evict her and her colleagues from their service apartments. In the video for the portal Znak.com a woman explainedthat she decided not to eat until the housing issue was resolved.
Since the summer of 2021, the Chelyabinsk mayor’s office has been suing a group of precinct police officers – the municipal authorities are demanding police officers to vacate their office property. Interior Ministry officials planned to privatize housing, as some of their colleagues have already done. By law, after ten years of service, police officers are entitled to receive payment for the purchase of their service housing.
However, the mayor’s office claims that part of the apartments in the house, which was built for the resettlement of the then police, belongs to the municipality – the precinct police have no rights to these objects. Three hearings were held in the case – at two of them the court sided with the police.
At the same time, police officers demand to initiate a criminal case on the misappropriation of apartments by the municipality, which should be owned by the state. In addition, the district police officers asked to check the procedure for payments to improve housing conditions to employees of the Chelyabinsk Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Earlier, in a joint video message to the federal authorities, the precinct police officers did not rule out the possibility of going on a hunger strike and picketing if the situation does not change. The Investigative Committee of Russia at first refused to open a criminal case, but later promised to sort out the situation and try to resolve the conflict peacefully.
In Vladivostok, a hunger strike helped a 97-year-old pensioner return her apartment. The veteran of the Great Patriotic War was forced to take such a measure when her relatives took away her “odnushka” and refused to release her voluntarily. The protest was noticed on social networks, and through the court the woman managed to get the rights to the property again.
