But it’s going to be difficult to accuse another local resident, shepherd Boris Urmatov, of lying, because huge wreckage (9,5 õ 4,5 ) hit the play yard of his house right in front of the eyes of his small children, scaring them to death. Urmatov demands a million ruble (43, 5 thousand dollars) payout. If somebody thinks this sum is too big, put yourself on that parent’s place. Consider yourself a parent, whose children can be killed by the wreckage anytime. 43, 5 thousand dollars is enough for the shepherd to move to a safer district city. By the way, many bureaucrats spend this sum yearly on new cars. Much greater sums they spend on new apartments in Moscow – with 7 thousand dollars per square meter (3, 3 feet) price.

However, the authorities, who admit 200 feet miscalculation, don’t even make any excuses –they simply blame UFOs for the wreckages. So, no one wants to pay off 40 thousand dollars to a simple shepherd. It seems that bureaucrats consider ‘ordinary’ Russian people Martians that live somewhere very far away and don’t need any protection or care.
Meanwhile Russia is a way before European countries in the number of launched rocket-carriers (30 rockets in Russia versus 8 in the EU). However, the more rockets are launched, the more is the number of unsuccessful launches. Nevertheless, the rocket-carrier ‘Proton-M’ has already brought our country about 3, 5 billion dollars and offers for the total of 1, 5 billion dollars.
The more ‘Proton’M’ brings to our country, the bigger shame it is to leave the people who suffer from its launches without protection. When several years ago huge wreckage fell down on the yard of one of the residents of Korgon village (Altai Territory), he was paid just 10 thousand rubles (400 dollars). Did the authorities want the man to spend this money on alcohol to forget everything as soon as possible? Consider that when wreckage of ‘Proton-M’ fell down on the territory of Kazakhstan, the Kazakhs were paid off 20 million rubles (8 million dollars). Why do Russian people deserve less?
Of course, the country interests are important, they were initially ‘more important than the interest of a single person’. But surprisingly enough, it seems that the bureaucrats cover under ‘the country interest’ their own mistakes and negligence. This is wrong. Rockets are made to maintain security of every single person. The authorities’ opposition between the society and the state, ignorance to the problems of ordinary people is the best way to spread corruption and bureaucracy. Russian history vividly shows that in these conditions science-driven technology doesn’t live for a long time.
