How the Cossacks rescued their Kiev
Everyone believes that the main thing in recent Kiev events is that the capital was paralyzed by snowfall. Nah, most importantly, how responsive loners proved to be quickly united in a rescue movement. And motorists who have something to respect themselves … Everyone believes that the main thing in recent Kiev events is that the capital was paralyzed by snowfall.

At least someone is happy
No tragedies! The "blockade" of all, yes, laid bare, but it was interesting, somewhere even funny. It’s hard to imagine, but just three million people of Kiev went on foot! And look, when you still walk "on the roofs" of cars!

No one suspected that there were so many ATVs, buggies and snowmobiles in the city … Almost the strongest impression: a new, clean air. How to breathe!

Skiing on Khreshchatyk! Skiing on Khreshchatyk!
The hard way is along the roadway, because the sidewalks disappeared as a phenomenon under almost meter snow. Dogs on a walk fooled, swimming in snowdrifts, jumping like goats. Passer-by: “Well, at least someone is happy!..”.

About "Andreev SKI" - a spontaneously formed ski slope along the Andreevsky Descent (a historical place - an analogue of the Old Arbat) was written and shown on TV. But here are the little-known details. People crowded here, because a lot of fun with all the amenities and for little money. Rolled down, barely passed - here is the lower funicular station. In the trailer upstairs … Ride to a dope! The fare is two hryvnias (approx. 10 rubles). There is no cheaper lift in the world!

By the way, about the fun. Take a look here:

Another detail from the St. Andrew's descent in the photo from Facebook. Comment: “Our landmark Femen are protesting against the snow, the protracted winter, the inaction of the authorities and anything else:))). Photo by Solomiya Vitvitskaya.”

Rent a shovel
To be honest, at first there was still a slight shock. People stuck in traffic for 10-14 hours. Well, the snowman collapsed before the weekend, but everyone understood that until Monday it would not get better. How about work - half a day there and the same amount back?.. And on you: they bought bread in stores. The following are pasta and matches?
Picture from nature: the uncle with a backpack puffs on the street, loaves almost fall out from above. Counter guys: “So, according to the forecast, zaviryukha will fall for a few days - don’t get up to it [According to the forecast, the snowstorm will end in a few days - you won’t have time to eat so much]! Peak is not lusne? [Will the erysipelas not crack?]."

Goons of any color have already shown themselves! Taxi drivers, who didn’t hide, lifted tariffs up to 10 times, and then “as long as I can go” … The heavy loads were forbidden to enter the city, so on one of the tracks they occupied all the lanes from the bump to the bump. Janitors set a fee for renting shovels - 200 hryvnias (about 1000 rubles). There was a demand - and where to go ?! Shovels were washed out of stores faster than bread.

In fairness, not only the Big Feet pulled vehicles out of snowdrifts. In fairness, not only the Big Feet pulled vehicles out of snowdrifts.
Fake
An announcement was posted on social networks: if you get stuck, call the emergency services 101 - the firefighters were ordered to help. A team left for one of the calls in the Urals, and a stalled minibus blocked the way, judging by the drawdown, it was overloaded. The author of the pictures writes that firefighters pushed for about five minutes, no less, but not at all. Only then did the door of the "microbe" swing open and they dumped out of the passenger compartment … hefty soldiers of the Berkut special forces …

The city was amused by bureaucrats. On March 24, a photo appeared on the official website of the city administration with the inscription: “Public transport is resuming in the capital.” And further: "As of 13:00, the movement of bus routes has been restored …".

But the image in the photo somehow did not match what people saw. And one of the users of social networks discovered the source of this photo (at the bottom of the illustration). It has a picture with a different caption: “Heavy snowfall in Moscow. Photo by ITAR-TASS. Date: 2012-29-11."
And this is shortly before the election of the head of the Kiev city administration!

For two days the people of Kiev scolded the city authorities: it’s clear that there is nothing to go on except the metro, so extend the working hours of the subway! (At the station in the city center they always admit before 00:30, at the peripheral - until 00:00). No reaction. When it was discovered by chance that they had nevertheless extended it. Incidentally, because the residents of the snowy city were not told about the "emergency" schedule.

Snowball good
There is a message in social networks: at the exit from Kiev on the night of March 22-23, a sightseeing bus with schoolchildren from Zhitomir got stuck, they’ve been hungry-cold for half a day. From near and not very near places to schoolchildren people rushed with sandwiches, thermoses. They fed and warmed, pushed the bus, deployed: sent back to the city - someone managed to agree to settle the boys in kindergarten for the weekend.
Next post: A truck with exotic animals stuck in the Balkans is stuck. Freeze, they can die. Ask what you need by phone to such-and-such. You will have to speak English: Russian drivers do not know …
SOS went on more and more, and the list of those who were ready to help out was replenished. And quick-witted kind people quickly made an application to Yandex-cards - so that those in distress will be guided, what they can count on, and motorists - where to evacuate the saved. Information was constantly updated … Wisely!

Next to the map are explanations for color marks: “Green - offroad motorists, will be pulled out; gray - delivered to Kiev where necessary; blue - lopata: dig up, push; yellow - drink tea, warm; purple - tea + shovel; red - help is needed !!!”. Below is a long list of exact coordinates. Note: "With joy, do not forget to thank the lads."
Good grew like a snowball. A network of cafes and restaurants on the tracks shouted: feed for nothing and with hot broth! One of the gas station chains: if it’s really bad, we’ll refuel for free, little by little. So it’s for happiness: in the “besieged” city, some gas stations were closed for lack of fuel, and there were very few gas stations (find more!), Where they poured 10–20 l …

The huge city has experienced very difficult days. It is terribly pleasant that so many people were cheerful, ready to help and share.
Note. For the title of our story, the special meaning that Ukrainians put in the word “Cossack” (in Ukrainian through “ o ” - “ kOzak ”) is important. If you are called so in Ukraine, then know that you have received the highest praise for human valor.
