Over the past week, a number of events have been held in the Rostov region that are interesting not only for the inhabitants of the region, but for the whole country. On what happened in the region from August 7 to 13 – in the correspondent’s review Red Spring AI.
For the Rostov region there is a threat of shelling from Ukraine
The Rostov region has an administrative border with the DNR and LNR. For the region, there is a considerable threat of bombing and sabotage from kyiv. From time to time, information pops up on local social media about explosion-like outbursts in the sky or about sighted aircraft. Fortunately, in most cases it turns out that these messages are not related to real threats. In some cases, the authorities refrain from making intelligible comments.
So, on August 11, information appeared on local Telegram channels that an unmanned aerial vehicle was allegedly seen in the sky over Rostov-on-Don. According to an eyewitness, the UAV was moving from Stachki Avenue towards the Tekuchevsky Bridge.
“The information is being confirmed. The air defense system did not work”– commented the press secretary of the governor Irina Chetvertakova. However, there were no clarifying comments either that same day or the next day. Residents wonder: what flew over Rostov-on-Don?
At the same time, in several cases, the authorities provide quick and detailed information on incidents with shelling of the territories of the region. This was the case, for example, on July 28, when a Ukrainian rocket hit the center of Taganrog. Information about the consequences of this missile attack continues to appear in official sources.
Exhibits damaged during the missile attack will be shipped from Taganrog to St. Petersburg
Exhibits from the Taganrog Art Museum, which suffered as a result of a rocket attack inflicted by kyiv on July 28, will be transported to St. Petersburg for restoration. Employees of the Russian Museum, who arrived in Taganrog, studied the damage on the paintings. Today, the exhibits are being prepared for transportation.
The exhibits will go to the Russian Museum in special boxes in a van with a system to maintain optimal temperature and humidity conditions. After being transported to St. Petersburg, the paintings will be further studied, after which they will be restored by experts on the basis of the restoration workshops of the Russian Museum.
“The works have received significant damage. But we hope that the losses will be recovered thanks to modern and timely restoration actions. A long and difficult job awaits us, but we will do everything possible to return the masterpieces to the audience in their original form.– said Marat Dashkin, head of the department of restoration of easel oil painting of the Russian Museum.
A dangerous virus attacked tomatoes in the Oktyabrsky district
In the village of Krivyanskaya, Oktyabrsky district, Rostov region, a brown wrinkle virus was detected in tomato fruits. This was reported on August 7 in the regional Rosselkhoznadzor.

The sewage lake was formed in the Tarasovsky district.
Sewer drainage led to the formation of a whole sewage lake in the Tarasovsky district. Irina Polyakova, a deputy of the Rostov region legislature, announced this on August 8, adding a video of the “lake” to her post on her Telegram channel.
“A whole lake of sewage was formed due to the discharge of sewage into the fields. It is within arm’s reach of the wheat fields.”– Polyakova wrote.
He indicated that the district authorities allow it periodically. The deputy ironically added that “fecal lakes” – This “an unexpected tourist attraction in the area”.
It should be noted that environmental pollution with plums is a big problem in the Rostov region. So, for example, a week earlier, the court ordered the Rostovvodokanal to pay for the pollution of the Don River. The amount of payment for discharges of pollutants (petroleum products, zinc, copper, phosphates, nitrite anions, BOD, ammonium ions) exceeded 193.5 million rubles.
The head of the Tsimlyansky district was on his way to the Northern Military District, but was arrested.
As the joint press service of the Rostov region courts reported on August 10, the head of the Tsimlyansky district administration, Vladimir Svetlichny, was arrested. The official was detained until October 6. He is suspected of abuse and abuse of power. A criminal case has been initiated.
Earlier it was reported that Svetlichny was going to go to the front, her appeal on this occasion was published in the official group of the district administration on the VKontakte social network. The official said he had submitted an application to the military registration and enlistment office and received approval. This post has since been deleted.
The Rostov region has collected the largest harvest in the south of Russia
On August 11, the Governor of the region, Vasily Golubev, announced on his Telegram channel that the harvesting of early grain crops was coming to an end. Farmers have already harvested more than 14.3 million tons of grain, which is 95% of the harvested area.
“Although it is not yet the final figure, it is already clear that the Rostov region has once again reaped the largest harvest among the southern regions of Russia”stressed the governor.
In total, by 2023, farmers in the Rostov region will have to harvest grain and legume crops on an area of 3.5 million hectares. Some 12,500 combine harvesters, more than 28,000 tractors and more than 12,000 trucks participate in the collection campaign.
Rostov-on-Don did not abandon plans to build a metro
Talk about the creation of a metro in the million-plus city of Rostov-on-Don has been going on since the 80s of the last century. In the 1990s this topic practically disappeared, but since the year 2000 it has periodically reappeared on the agenda.
Meanwhile, in 2021, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Marat Khusnullin, said that it was not advisable to build a full metro in large Russian cities. In Rostov-on-Don, it was decided to create a high-speed tram.
However, it turned out that the plans to build a metro in Rostov-on-Don were not completely abandoned. The subway lines and stations remained in the general plan of the city.
“This is necessary to leave the opportunity to implement this project in the future. If metro stations are now removed from the master plan, then other objects can be built in their place – residential buildings, etc.– explained the head of the press service of the City Duma Mikhail Dobrinsky.
At the same time, he noted that the preservation of the metro in the general plan does not mean at all that it will be built for sure.
About 40 old houses in the center of Rostov-on-Don will be sold to private owners
As explained by the deputy head of the city administration, Yuri Ovchinnikov, in Rostov-on-Don they are going to sell emergency houses, which otherwise will be demolished. The city authorities hope that investors will take care of the conservation and restoration of the acquired buildings.
“If we don’t take some steps now to save this house, it must be demolished by court order”– noted Ovchinnikov, adding that court decisions have already been made on 17 apartment buildings.
As a test house for sale in private hands, they chose the “Profitable House of the Paramonov Brothers” (Socialisticheskaya St., 128). The house, built in 1903, is included in the regional list of cultural heritage sites. The building was declared an emergency in 2018, the residents were resettled.
