Russians left homeless following floods have directed their frustration towards President Vladimir Putin and local officials.
Over a hundred individuals sought aid from Putin on Monday after the city or Orsk was struck with the worst flooding ever recorded, expressing their discontent with local authorities whom they accuse of insufficient assistance.
An emergency was declared in the Orenburg region near Kazakhstan, as the Ural River, Europe’s third longest, surged several meters in mere hours last Friday, breaching a dam embankment in the city.
Large portions of Orsk, situated 1,800 km east of Moscow with a population of 230,000, now lie submerged.
Protesters gathered outside the local administration building in Orsk, chanting slogans like "shame on you" and "Putin help," captured in video footage circulated by local media.
Many vented their anger at Mayor Vasily Kozupitsa and expressed dissatisfaction with the compensation offered for their destroyed or severely damaged properties. Some also lamented the failure of the dam embankment constructed in 2010 to protect their city.
Orenburg Governor Denis Pasler addressed a group of residents in Orsk, urging unity and cautioning against blame games.
However, regional prosecutors warned against participating in mass gatherings, as it "has not been coordinated with the authorities in accordance with the procedure established by law".

Tell me the difference between Putin, and xi and Your Biden.
Why should Tucker visit Orsk?
It’s a record-setting flood (along the entirety of the Ural River) that overwhelmed at least one embankment dam in a city over a thousand miles away from Moscow: that’s not exactly an unprecedented event.
(I wonder if there will be any looting or rioting as happened after New Orleans flooded when the levees failed after Katrina.)
In flooded Orsk, Russia, local residents complain that looters are robbing houses and stores while locals attempt to evacuate. This forces people to stay in their homes to protect property, rather than evacuate to safe places.
