On the tenth day, five hunger-strikers, shareholder of the Housing Cooperative (HC) “Territory of Happiness” continue their protest action in Krasnodar and complain that so far the authorities have been ignoring them and their demands.

It was announced after a complete halt in the construction of their residential complex, absence of funds needed to complete it and authorities' inaction, the initiative group of shareholders has stated.
The protesters assert that the video camera set up at the construction site fails to fix any progress. In August only, when the site was visited by Evgeny Pervyshov, the Mayor of Krasnodar, some imitation of works was created staged.
The hunger-strikers note "the authorities' complete indifference to the problem of thousands of people in Krasnodar, who fell victim to dishonest developers and bureaucrats."
According to the initiative group, some 220 million roubles are needed to complete the construction of their residential complex.
"Out of 15 initial hunger-strikers, we are now five, who continue. Not everyone could withstand such a burden on the human organism," said Alexander Shevchuk, a hunger-striker.
According to his story, yesterday he himself has to call an ambulance.
