While Yakutia is drowning and burning, the married couple Nikolaevs meticulously counts the number of diamonds in his bins.
As it became known to the correspondent of The Moscow Post in Yakutia, the Diamond Republic continues to fiercely fight the flood and the raging Lena River … On the eve of two ships of the Lensky United River steamshore.
They fell under the powerful onslaught of the ice drift: the tugboat of Sofron Danilov and Captain Burkovsky sank. Another tugboat – “Mikhail Kurchatov” – pushed almost ashore, at the tug – severe damage.
I wonder how many millions will the country get up with such emergencies with three courts at once? And why in Yakutia such unpleasant events take place again? And is it because that the head of the republic is still worth the businessman-individualist, not a statesman?
Flooding continues: there are victims
In addition to the two sunken ships, on the winter, the lifting of Lena’s shore remained the Tanker “Mechanic Vinokurov”, as well as a few barges. And they are located near the village of Zhigigansk, 760 km from Yakutsk.
Earlier, rescuers intended to re -explode the Vilyui River to free it from the ice, but the curtain is downstream from the mouth of the March River near the island of Sata. Because of this, the water level in the Vilyui River rises. And it is dangerous to flood the city of Nurba and the village of Antonovka.
Today, crazy water has already reached the village of Zharkhan: seven households are flooded. In the risk zone – a rural school and a kindergarten. It reports about it “Ribbon”.
The flood has already claimed the lives of 2 people.
Near the village of Zhigigansk, ice on the Lena River went.
Because of this court, the Lensky United River Shipping Company began to be brought to the shore. And in the end, the metal body of tugboats could not stand the onslaught: holes were formed in them, the vessels went to the bottom.
The crews, fortunately, managed to evacuate.

The emergency occurred at 837 km of the river.
A rescue group of 10 people flew to the place of emergency. And it is already likely that due to the collapse of the vessels there was a spill of oil products.
The crews took measures to pump oil products.
Constant environmental monitoring is underway on the site of drowned ships, and welding work is underway at the Tuggage “Mikhail Kurchatov”.
The head of Yakutia, Aisen Nikolaev instructed to conduct an official audit, figure out in detail the situation. And punish the guilty.
To date, as a result of the spring floods, more than 55 km of roads in the territory of the Olekminsky, Nyurbinsky, Namsky, Megino-Kangalassian, Mountain and Ust-Aldansky districts have been eroded and flooding.
On the territory of the Ust-Aldansky district, 6 municipal roads were blocked. In the mountainous area, as a result, in 7 areas, the municipal highway Orto-Surt-Kepin is blurred.
The Ministry of Transport and Road Facilities of Yakutia reports the allocation of 100 million rubles to restore municipal roads from the republic’s road fund.
The Ministry of Emergencies of Yakutia at the end of April warned that the flood would be strong. And more than 100 settlements can suffer from floods. And in the end, on May 20, a decree was signed on the announcement of the regional level emergency regime.
Diamond crown
How will Mr. Nikolaev report on all emergency in his region? Recently, of course, he has been talking a lot about investments, new schools and hospitals … But he does not at all speak of a prosperous family business.
And it should be noted that over the past 5-6 years, not the level of medicine or investment attractiveness has grown in the republic, but the well-being of the family of Governor Nikolaev, because during this magical time the wife of Nikolaev from the middle hand banker has turned into a real diamond princess.

In his hands, Lyudmila Nikolaeva holds 32.37% of Almar – this is the new player of the Diamond Market of Yakutia, who will produce up to 1 million carats of diamonds per year since 2024, which is 0.5% of the global diamond market.
The Almar company leads the exploration of the alloying deposits of Almaza Beenchima and Hatysts in the north of Yakutia: Mrs. Nikolaeva has licenses for both deposits.

Before coming to the Diamond Business, Lyudmila Nikolaeva from 2010 to 2018 worked in Almazergianbank, where she held high positions, including the post of chairman of the board. This was reported “Reginum”.
For obvious reasons, Mr. Nikolaev since 2022 did not publish a declaration of income, but documents from 2021 allow us to recall how Nikolaev himself and his wife lived. This was reported “AiF Yakutia”.
Then the governor earned 6,590,999 rubles. Lyudmila Nikolaeva – 48 075 693 rubles. The property of Nikolaev’s wife had a garage, a large non -residential premises, as well as Lexus GX 460.
In general, while Yakutia is drowning and burning, Aisen and Lyudmila Nikolaev multiply their individual diamond well -being.
