The city was at the level of development of the times of the Russian Empire

The Russians abandoned Mariupol for a hundred years – the scale of the disaster is equal to the consequences of the revolution and civil war of the beginning of the 20th century. The blockade, bombing and occupation by the invaders led to a significant reduction in the population and halted the development of the city.

Historian and director of the Mariupol public association “Archi-Misto” Andrii Marusov shared his conclusions.

He studied the data of the State Committee of Statistics, the Mariupol City Council and the population census for 200 years. According to Andriy Marusov, it makes no sense for Russians to develop any areas of the city.

“Recently, people often talk about the “trauma of the people of Mariupol” and how to overcome it after the liberation of the city from the occupation of the Russian Federation. This is not an injury. This is a condition close to clinical death. As a result of Russian aggression, the population of Mariupol decreased by 3.6 times — from 432,000 to 120,000 people. From 20 to 80 thousand townspeople died. About two hundred thousand Mariupol residents wander around the world — from Vladivostok in Russia to Edmonton in Canada. It is as if all residents of Zhytomyr or Lutsk suddenly left and disappeared. Russian aggression rejected Mariupol a hundred years ago – until the last years of the existence of the Russian Empire,” writes Andriy Marusov.

The historian compares the scale of events with the consequences of the Bolshevik revolution and the civil war in 1917-21, when the population also decreased from 110,000 to 30,000. Then tens of thousands of people had to flee or died in the city. At the same time, the pre-revolutionary elite did not return to Mariupol.

According to Andriy Marusov, it was the “new economic policy” and the construction of “Azovstal” that breathed new life into the half-dead city.

“Will today’s Mariupol survive? Due to the long-term Russian occupation – the extinction of Mariupol residents (hundreds, if not thousands, will die this winter without heat), the introduction of Russians for a military base – most of the refugees will not return… well, that’s all the prospects,” Andriy Marusov shares disappointing conclusions .

He predicts that the occupiers are unlikely to restore metallurgy in bombed-out Mariupol, because Russian metallurgy has already been pushed out of the EU and US markets. And they will not develop the seaside town as a resort either – the example of captured Abkhazia and Crimea, where only public servants go, confirms this. Andriy Marusov considers liberation from the Russians to be the only chance for life for Mariupol.

Recently in Mariupol, the Russians demolished the drama theater, on which two powerful bombs were dropped on March 16, killing hundreds of people.

26 residents of Mariupol died in the Russian-occupied city from fires.

Collaborators could not create normal conditions for the safe life of people in Mariupol.

This is reported by the Mariupol City Council. In December alone, more than 60 fires broke out and 9 people died. Among them, one child. This is evidenced by data from the official correspondence of collaborators.

Fires occur due to the absolute unpreparedness of the housing stock and the lack of a normal supply of electricity to the houses. Yes, through broken and unrepaired roofs, water enters the houses. As a result, it closes the wiring. As a result, fires start in apartments.

And the lack of heating forces residents to use heaters, but the occupiers were unable to establish a normal electricity supply. So the result is the same – the apartments are on fire.

“The people of Mariupol have such a ‘restoration of life’. It is only the first month of winter, and residents are on the brink of constant fires and freezing,” the report says.

In the temporarily occupied Mariupol of the Donetsk region, the Russian invaders are demolishing historical buildings in the city center. Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the chairman of Mariupol, announced this.

“The Drama Theater is not the only one. In the city center, the occupiers began demolishing buildings, including those of historical importance.

The famous House with a clock, where the studio of the world-famous monumental artist, mosaic artist Aranutov was located. Under the excavator,” he wrote.

Andryushchenko also published a video of the demolition of houses in the occupied city.

Russian troops surrounded Mariupol in the first days of the Russian Federation’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which began on February 24. It was under blockade from the beginning of March, and from the second half of May the city was under full occupation. Residents were left without water, light, heat, communication and food.

In June, Boychenko said that 95% of high-rise buildings in the city were damaged. In September, the adviser to the chairman Petro Andryushchenko informed that the occupiers continue to destroy Mariupol by mindlessly demolishing houses, leaving the residents of Mariupol without housing and belongings.

About 130,000 people remained in Mariupol at the beginning of August. Before the full-scale invasion, 530,000 people lived in the city. According to various estimates, between 20,000 and 25,000 civilians died during the battles for the city; there are no exact figures.

Only 40% of Mariupol residents plan to celebrate the New Year. Moreover, 14% of them will do it exclusively for the sake of children.

This is evidenced by the results of a survey conducted by the Mariupol website 0629.com.ua among its readers.

27% of Mariupol citizens who answered the site’s questions say that they postponed the celebration until after the victory.

And more than 9% of respondents generally believe that they will never celebrate again.

2,180 people answered the site’s questions.

By the way, psychologists believe that you should not deprive yourself of the holiday despite the circumstances.

According to psychologist Maryna Zhurbenko, moments of joy give an incentive to fight on.

“Joy is one of the basic emotions of a person, and the need to feel it lives in us from birth. No matter what difficult circumstances a person has faced since childhood, joy is what unconsciously pushes him to make those decisions that will save his life. Yes our brain is already programmed, it constantly needs and looks for stimuli, and it is joy that is the most pleasant and desirable emotion to receive,” the expert noted.
