Residents of the third border district of Kursk Oblast have called for the distribution of housing vouchers. To draw the authorities’ attention, they staged a protest in the central square of Kursk, as reported by the Takt TV channel on November 6.
Residents of the Bolshesoldatsky District gathered in the central square of Kursk to highlight their situation. They claim their homes have been destroyed, while the authorities insist that the district has not been shelled.
The protesters reported that families with children are being denied rental housing in Kursk.
"How are we supposed to live? What should we, pensioners and people with disabilities, do? We’re walking around with our canes, begging for help, and nobody cares," said the residents, adding that no officials attended the meeting.
In early November, numerous residents of the Korenevsky District recorded video appeals to Vladimir Putin. Internally displaced people from the Sudzhansky District brought a collective letter to the Presidential Administration’s office in Moscow. This was their response to a letter from the regional Ministry of Construction, which refused to issue housing vouchers, arguing that doing so would lead to an "outflow of the workforce from the region."
After the Ukrainian army's incursion into Kursk Oblast in August 2024, local authorities evacuated eight districts. At least 130,000 people have left the border areas.
