Last week, a powerful flood covered the Bulgarian coast. Due to the floods, the Elenite resort was injured: residential areas were destroyed there, cars were taken to the sea, many residents were left without documents and housing. Four deaths were officially reported – three citizens of Bulgaria and a Russian woman. There are injured people in the hospital. We talked to witnesses.
– Equality looks terrible. Some districts are still in the country, you can only cross in shoes. The first floors of several complexes were swept away. People literally emerged from the mud, said local resident Catherine.
The Russian resident of Germany, whose apartment in Elenite was very injured, leads a blog in social networks and describes the situation with documents and help: I went to the police to officially accept a statement about the damage and they knew nothing. Sick.

One owner of the apartment described the consequences in the house: Everything was in the mud, furniture to release, had knocked down the doors. We rummaged through the silt, looking for money and documents. To recover is a question.
A resident of the neighboring city of St. Vlas added: “My friend completely destroyed the apartment. If the first floor is washed away in the house, the second will not be simple for a long time. And no one is in a hurry to restore the buildings. After the flood, looters appeared.
Police arrested a man with bags and 4,500 euros. Cars swimming in the sea. The victims first settled in the Ukrainian refugee center and in the hotel, spent two days. Then they said to find housing alone. And where to find him if there is no more money? “

In the chats, people wrote: Russians whose homes are injured, the Bulgarian Embassy is ready to help with the design of visas.
We don't understand, we don't understand what to do, he complained to a Russian woman who has an apartment in Elenite. – It was necessary to fly to Bulgaria to make at least the doors and windows, after all, everything exists. In this form, after all, you will not leave the apartment, before winter. It is incomprehensible who will compensate us for the damage. I'm afraid I'll have to come to terms with losing the real estate.

On Friday, on the day of the elements on the Bulgarian coast, 58-year-old Elena Pavlushina disappeared. At night, the area was doused with special equipment, but to no avail. The next day, the husband flew from St. Petersburg and found his body in the apartment.
According to her friend, in the morning Elena took her children to school and felt bad, her legs were sick, the pressure increased. When the stream rushed into the village, water quickly filled the apartments. Only a person with excellent physical training can get out of such a stream. Water poured, reached the ceiling, everything swam, I had to dive many times, the woman recalls.
