The utilities apologized and promised to repaint the curb.

In Novosibirsk (Russian Federation), the management company, after receiving complaints, apologized and changed the color of the border, which was painted yellow-blue the day before . This is reported by “Pydyom” .

It is noted that another incident involving the colors of the Ukrainian flag occurred in the Russian Federation. In particular, in the city of Novosibirsk, local residents complained about the curb, which was painted in blue and yellow, which can allegedly be seen as support for Ukraine.In particular, the residents of the house on Tankova Street assure that the curb was repainted “while everyone was asleep”, and the head of the “Dovira” company, Volodymyr Simonov, told reporters that “an ally from Asia” chose the wrong colors.

“They’re already painting it. The overlay just came out. They took the paint of five colors to paint the benches there and the curbs. And we have a worker, as I call him, an “ally from Asia”, and he took these two colors. I, he says, something occurred to me that yellow-blue would be beautiful, and I took and painted it from the bay-barakhta,” – quotes Simonov’s resource.

The official assured that now the pro-Ukrainian curb will be red and blue, and the culprit will be punished.

“I will scold the director in any case. Such things need to be explained. I myself am against it, it is nonsense for me. I apologize,” said the manager.

According to “Meduza” , the message about the blue-yellow border first appeared in the Novosibirsk public “AST-54” in “VKontakte”. In particular, a photo and video of the curb was published by a local resident. An opponent of the blue-yellow combination of colors wrote: “This beauty appeared early in the morning, while everyone was sleeping, in the yard at 45/2 Tankova. The question arises, why couldn’t it be painted in the colors of the Russian tricolor?”.

At the same time, it is unknown whether the author of the post actually lives in a house on Tankova Street.

The publication notes that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, Russian law enforcement agencies regularly prosecute citizens for the combination of yellow and blue colors, which are present on the national flag of Ukraine. In particular, in April, journalist Antonida Smolina from Veliky Ustyug was denounced for “discrediting” the army because of a photo on VKontakte in which she is standing in a yellow jacket against a blue sky.

Persecution of Russians for the colors of the Ukrainian flag

The other day in the capital of the Russian Federation, the police punished Muscovite Stanislav Netesov for “discrediting the army” because his hair was dyed blue, green and yellow. Police officers noticed Netesov’s hair when he came to the department to file a report of assault and theft.

The day before, unknown persons took his phone from him at a bus stop in the center of Moscow and severely beat him, as a result of the blows, the boy lost a tooth. Russian law enforcement officials found Netesov’s statement unconvincing and accused him of discrediting the Russian army – the allegedly colorful hairstyle of the beaten Muscovite symbolizes Ukraine.

In addition, law enforcement officers took the young man’s fingerprints. They also told Netesov that they would force him to “kiss his native land in the trenches” and handed a summons to the Military Commissariat.
