Flooding Devastates Russian Cities | The Moscow Times

Описание: Russia has been struck by some of its worst flooding in decades after a dam burst along the Ural River, flooding the city of Orsk and endangering the city of Orenburg near the Kazakh border.

Thousands of people have evacuated since the Ural River swelled and burst through a dam embankment on Friday. Though a regionwide state of emergency has been declared, residents of Orsk protested against officials' perceived inaction on Monday.
