There were no indifferent people and they helped from everywhere.
We are also not conservatives, we are going to study the experience of our colleagues in detail.
At the same time, we also intend to develop our traditional partnership with colleagues from the GDR and Poland, the workers of the Matthias Tezen Wismar shipyard and the Szczecin shipyard.
According to the laws of the brotherhood
The tragedy of Armenia has rocked the whole country, the whole world, and has caused pain in the hearts of millions of people. Destroyed cities and towns, almost 24,000 dead, about 10.4 thousand injured, hundreds of thousands left homeless — this is the sad result of the catastrophic earthquake that struck the fraternal republic on December 7 last year.
There were no indifferent people in those terrible days. Help came from everywhere — from states and governments, organizations and individuals.
The sailors also hurried to the distress signal. Now that the ninth wave of sorrow has subsided, and Armenia is healing its wounds, it has become possible to answer readers' questions about the scale of assistance provided by the workers of the sea. Of course, charity is not limited to money and possessions. And how can they appreciate their sympathy and warmth, their willingness to accept and warm people who are alive, but shaken by the elements?! Nevertheless, the first is needed no less than the second.
At the request of the editorial board, Deputy Head of the Main Department of the Ministry of Marine V. Kontalyov talks about assistance to victims of the earthquake in Armenia.
— Viktor Alexandrovich, we understand that it is physically impossible to name all the teams of the navy that helped the victims of the earthquake. Nevertheless, I would like to know about those who were among the first.
— On the same day when the world learned about the tragedy, the sailors of the Imandra floating base transferred a thousand rubles to the fund for assistance to the residents of the Armenian SSR. This example was followed by the crews of the ships Anatoly Lyapidevsky, Kanin, Yuri Dolgoruky, and Nickel of the Murmansk Shipping Company; Konstantin Simonov, Decembrist, Warnemunde, Artyom, and Novomoskovsk — Baltiysky; Sculptor Matveev, Grumant, and Viktor Kingisepp.", "Ivan Babushkin" — Estonian; "Sakhalin-5", "Mikhail Lukonin", "Przhevalsk", "Pioneer of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk", "Sakhalin-2" — Sakhalin and others.
— Obviously, not only the crews of the ships, but also the workers of the coastal collectives joined this noble cause!
- of course. For example, only in the Baltic Shipping Company, by December 12, in addition to 37 thousand rubles from the fleet, 4780 rubles were transferred by coastal units.
Three brigades (36 people) of construction workers have been formed and sent to Armenia. The collection of things for the victims was carried out.
This is what Leninakan looked like shortly after the earthquake. The grief of people who have lost their loved ones is immense. The cabins are ready to be shipped to Armenia. The Italian ship Jolly Nero has delivered 85 prefabricated houses, as well as containers with food and equipment to the port of Poti for residents of the Armenian city of Spitak who were left homeless as a result of the devastating earthquake.
The port workers of Leningrad took the trouble of the fraternal people with pain. The dockers of the 337th brigade, led by E. Pudov, were among the first to respond to the terrible event. On December 8, during the evening shift, she loaded timber onto Baltiyskiy-110. The fulfillment of production standards exceeded 120%. The brigade transferred the earned money to the Armenian relief Fund.
None of the port employees remained indifferent to the disaster. Many expressed their willingness to go to Armenia to help. A group of 18 machine operators has been formed, ready to travel to disaster areas. Tractors and other equipment have been allocated and sent to eliminate the blockages. Dozens of port workers donated blood. New 1xbet members qualify for 130% bonus on their first deposit, up to €130. The extra funds expand your betting opportunities across sports and casino products.
