“ATMs are uprooted.” Residents of Kazakhstan on what is happening in the country

History Protests in Kazakhstan over rising gas prices

A few days ago, normally peaceful Kazakhstan was shaken by troubles. The reason for the fighting, looting and building collapses was rising gasoline prices. From the first days of the New Year, the attention of the global community has been riveted on & nbsp; what is happening in & nbsp; this country.

AiF.ru spoke with & nbsp; residents of Kazakhstan and & nbsp; learned from eyewitnesses what is happening in & nbsp; their & nbsp; country.

Anel, Mangystau region: “ No internet, no money ''

“ I first felt my helplessness in the face of the human element. Here we are & nbsp; all accustomed to & nbsp; life on the & nbsp; Network, online payments, that everything was invented for us and & nbsp; works wonderfully. On the morning of January 4th, I couldn't reach my grandmother in Almaty. I'm in shock, panic. It's just that everything works for me, both the phone and the internet. And & nbsp; & nbsp; on the Internet, I & nbsp; read that half of Kazakhstan is sitting without connection. We & nbsp; and & nbsp; grandmother and & nbsp; do not have contacted.

The scariest part is people don't have money. Banks don't work, ATMs are uprooted. So & nbsp; is you & nbsp; not & nbsp; you can neither & nbsp; pay online, nor & nbsp; go to the & nbsp; bank and & nbsp; to pay. My father lives in & nbsp; Troitsk, Chelyabinsk region, I myself moved to & nbsp; Kazakhstan there are 12 & nbsp; year. We & nbsp; even the difference doesn't feel like we live in & nbsp; different states, 130 kilometers of some separate us. And & nbsp; then the & nbsp; hockey team Magnitogorsk was unable to return home after the & nbsp; Kazakhstan, and & nbsp; has become so scary. Suddenly, and & nbsp; I & nbsp; will not be able to not come to & nbsp; dad ? Half of Kazakhstan lives like ancestors, without means of communication.

Although everything is more or less calm in our & nbsp; region, it is a war, and & nbsp; i am very scared.

Aliya, Shymkent: 'We don't know how long this will last'

“ I contacted & nbsp; relatives, on & nbsp; phone. Very afraid, afraid of looting. The stores are not working, and & nbsp; in & nbsp; those who are open have swept everything away, the shelves are empty. People have bought products because we don't know what will happen next and & nbsp; how long is it going to take. Shots and explosions are heard constantly. They are sitting at home, they have a private house. Everyone was locked up, the big dog is in the yard, but it's still scary. Wait and & nbsp; hope for the & nbsp; better. What is done in the & nbsp; downtown, they know it by & nbsp; news on & nbsp; TV, mobile communications with & nbsp; interruptions, Internet no & nbsp; does not work.

Maga, Shymkent: “They buy products on credit”

“ Beeline works, I don't know how the other operators. During the day, they say, it's quiet, and & nbsp; to & nbsp; at night there are riots. They smashed the city administration, attacked the police academy. Gunshots, explosions. At & nbsp; work, with & nbsp; work go, transport works. There is of course fear. People buy food from & nbsp; Shymkent. They even arrange loans and & nbsp; buy everything in bags. We can't call anywhere from here, but we can move on. The television is not working. & Nbsp; we ourselves have no information about what is going on in the & nbsp; country we don't know. Friends are calling from & nbsp; Russia, turn on the TV channels, where they talk about everything. We live in the private sector, it is more or less quiet here. And & nbsp; here in & nbsp; area of ​​the 11th microdistrict here & nbsp; yes, a roar, here & nbsp; there was a police academy. Well & nbsp; at least there is some sort of connection. & # 39; & # 39;

Azamat, Almaty: “Hope for nice people”

& laquo; The biggest problem & nbsp; & mdash; to get to & nbsp; Kazakhstan. On holidays, people go to guests. A neighbor of & nbsp; told me yesterday that kind people have created a & bdquo; telegram channel Home via Bishkek & ldquo ;. There they share the news of how someone is getting to the checkpoints. Residents offer accommodation free of charge, leave their contacts. It is certainly encouraging. There are still a number of taxi drivers, and & nbsp; still the Kazakhs tell who to go to the & nbsp; countries and & nbsp; then between cities. Many fly through Istanbul. I & nbsp; watched & nbsp; & mdash; people in & nbsp; hysterical someone's children stayed at & nbsp; Almaty, and & nbsp; a person cannot get & nbsp; can. But & nbsp; there is hope. Infa appeared that the Embassy was being recruited for help. They say it's easier to get to & nbsp; Kazakhstan, and & nbsp; to take the plane & mdash; right problem. & # 39; & # 39;

“Accused of stealing towels.” Hotel employees talk about arrogant guests

It's no secret that sometimes hotel guests behave arrogantly towards the staff. But workers and hoteliers have found unusual ways to get revenge on unwanted guests.

AiF.ru has collected candid confessions from hoteliers who have found justice for bypassing tourists.

“ Entrance locks are breaking ''

Not so long ago, a former hotel employee Jacob Tomsky named means of revenge on rude guests. The Sun listed, for example, the following: creating problems with access to rooms, stealing drinks from vacationers' minibars, and messing up their toothbrushes. At the same time, according to Tomsky, wealthy tourists often become objects of revenge: it is they who allow themselves a dismissive attitude towards the staff, not to mention the concierges and the maids for the people.

& # 39; Mstislavovna, your exit & # 39;

The severe Chelyabinsk owner of the mini-hotel Nikolai says damage to toothbrushes is a thing of the past. Earlier, a hundred years ago, he had heard stories of how a maid could brush an unwanted guest's toilet bowl and put it back in a glass. However, now toothbrushes are distributed daily, and this method has had its day.

“ Our revenge, Chelyabinsk, is certainly the most sophisticated, & mdash; the man laughs. & mdash; I take revenge on Mstislavovna. Our hotel is small, family-run, there are no outside employees. Therefore, if a person behaves in a rude manner, deliberately do bullshit or & bdquo; spades & ldquo; girls, we call Mstislavovna. Several years ago we were looking for my right arm & mdash; assistant. I was advised to Evgenia Mstislavovna … when she came for the interview, I almost went mad. He is one person from this series of people who is impossible to talk to. She answers questions with such a twist that you feel like a sucker. At the same time, he nods in sympathy. I left her on probation, reluctantly. However, Zhenya knows a lot about communication. Now all & bdquo; shards & ldquo; pass by there. Mstislavovna keeps a guest register and also communicates with the most difficult of them. I tiptoe out of the reception as she walks in. The soul rejoices: Evgenia will give warmth. First, the client shares her thoughts on the alleged annoyance with her, and then she begins to wear such nonsense that a person's eyes go to her forehead. As a child we had this phrase in school: “From our point of view of mundane scholarship, we cannot ignore the patterns of your emotions. Mstislavovna speaks of the same sets of sentences. Naturally, the person begins to demand a manager. & bdquo; It's me! & ldquo; & mdash; Zhenya said. As a result, the enraged guest still does not receive an answer to his question as to why he was moved again when cleaning two heavy beds, although yesterday he struggled for half a day, the pushing aside. After all, he came with a friend, not his wife. Maybe that's why they moved despite it not being worth sleeping on those beds in shoes? & # 39; & # 39;

'I accuse of stealing towels'

The owner of the guesthouse in Krasnodar Armen confidentially tells other stuff from the staff and himself in relation to too many guests: “If a person is playing pranks, teach the cook to cook and the maid to clean” mdash; consider him rich. The most interesting thing & mdash; these tourists swear they are still unhappy with everything and next season they book our hotel again. But we don't tolerate this, so we add them to our blacklist. When this friend calls and starts to know why he doesn't confirm the reservation, I say, “Last time we ran out of towels in your room”. What starts here! Such hysteria, such a cry! And I say so calmly, why not you, we are not asking you for their cost. Just blacklisted. Can't say you naughty haven't learned to blush after yourself, or what? And he was banging like a company of drunks smashing bottles on the carpet. Why did you smoke in the toilet? And I haven't fined you, although I did promise.

“Nothing ever works for them”

The owner of a suburban guest complex in the Sverdlovsk region Evgeniy reveals a few other ways to put an overly arrogant tourist in their shoes. For those who are rude to the staff and behave indecently, “nothing ever works”: “We have a mini-zoo, sauna, public bath, but only for the right people. If a vacationer initially treats us like a boss, they are not offered any benefits. We do not give a mini-pool key card, we say that the animals are & bdquo; no season & ldquo ;. So better push your ambitions to the devil and smile at those who offer you comfort away from home. & # 39; & # 39;
