Nina Kurilo died in Sochi without being provided with social housing
90-year-old Nina Kurilo, a former prisoner of fascist concentration camps, who was refused in her request to provide her with an apartment in a social home for war veterans and disabled people, died in Sochi.
"My mother died on May 23. She never had the chance to live in comfortable conditions. Until her last day, we had to provide her with heating and hygiene and treat her in conditions far from the civilization of the 'Olympic capital', without central heating, water supply and sewerage system," the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent was told by Tatiana Kurilo, a daughter of the prisoner of fascist concentration camps.
According to her, Nina Kurilo often told her that houses for war veterans were built in Sochi and that she had the hope to move there.
"Of course, it is very bitter to realize that people who survived all the horrors of the war and the number of whom is so little in Sochi that we can count them on fingers are being offended by officials who remember them only during elections or on the holiday of May 9," said Tatiana Kurilo.
On the eve of the 72nd anniversary of the Victory in WW2, several months before her death, Nina Kurilo again appealed to the authorities with a request to provide her with comfortable housing, but she was again refused.
