The lack of a crossing over the Don River has worried residents of a village in the Volgograd region.
The ferry crossing across the Don River near the village of Novogrigoryevskaya has been out of service for four days. The "state" ferry is undergoing repairs, while the "private" ferry has been closed by regulatory authorities. A district council member has reassured local residents that the private ferry will resume service on April 16, and the "state" ferry on June 1.
