In the Khimmash area, the obstetric inpatient unit at 3 Dagestanskaya is slated to be closed for repairs. However, it may not reopen. The building itself is in a state of disrepair. The regional Ministry of Health’s press service confirmed that it is unsafe to be there. Patients will be sent to other maternity hospitals until the end of the year, reports portal 66.Ru. Staff at the center fear it will be closed for good. The fact is that since 2016 the number of women giving birth in the region has almost halved, so the region does not need that many maternity hospitals. According to the employees themselves, nurses and doctors will be transferred to the inpatient facility in Vtuzgorodok, while orderlies, storekeepers and cleaners will simply be laid off. The Ministry of Health, however, says that everyone will continue to work. Earlier we reported that near Yekaterinburg doctors had their salaries cut by 40%.
Sverdlovsk public activists appealed to the prosecutor’s office to inspect organizations of children’s events dedicated to Halloween. The letter was sent by the head of the regional branch of "Obshchee Delo," Evgeny Malenkin.
The occasion was two events: a children’s Halloween at "Blueberry Nights" and an "Unclean Sabbath" at the "Park of Tales."
"I believe that involving minors in such events contradicts current Russian legislation, the moral, social and ethical norms accepted in Russian society, and may pose a real threat to children’s mental health and provoke a high level of aggression among children and adolescents," Malenkin wrote on social media.
According to him and, as he put it, a certain majority of parents, holding such events is an undesirable adoption of Western traditions, the EAN news outlet writes.
"In several regions the celebration of Halloween is banned. I ask you to check the legality of organizing the specified events and take prosecutorial action," the civic activist said.
Earlier in Russia a "Pumpkin Spas" was invented that is supposed to replace Halloween.
