The wounded were already being dragged there, their wounds were pressed with towels, and water was poured from bottles.

There are also a lot of tourists here – the prices for holidays are very humane: economy classes can be found for only 500 rubles a day, but on weekends the kilometer-long coastal strips are occupied by residents of the hero city. Of course, people also swim on city beaches, but the water in Sevastopol is not so clean, and there is not enough space for comfortable living. But go along the coast: you want, sit on the equipped part with awnings, changing rooms and sun loungers, or on the wild side – under a high sandbank. The boat from Sevastopol runs all day, so on weekends the beaches are crowded. And the current ones also turned out to be long: in honor of the Feast of the Holy Trinity, Monday, June 24, was also a day off on the peninsula. So there were more than enough vacationers.

I went down to the beach on a scooter and walked along the sea to look for my people. Of course, I didn’t see so many wounded, as the numbers are now called – they were in different places: some were taken to a cafe, others were lying under awnings. I saw how a woman was bandaged with a towel, how two people were carried right on sunbeds, and a man, covered in blood, was put into a car parked near the beach. Some kind of terrible dream. Svetlana and her relatives were lucky – none of them were hurt. The two families who rent rooms from her also remained intact. But, unfortunately, the number of victims of the terrorist attack is increasing every hour. At the moment, five people are known to have died – two adults and three children. One of the victims was the daughter of the deputy mayor of Magadan, Sofya Averyanova. She and her parents were vacationing in Uchkuevka. It was in this village that the most people suffered.

I don’t know, but I’m very sorry for the people of the Sevastopol governor’s channel, the unsounded alarm is the main thing – the city residents don’t understand why there was no warning, because people here are already accustomed to sirens, they know how. how to behave and where to run away. Although there was nowhere to have fun on the beach: there were several cafes and wooden canopies, there were no concrete canopies, as, for example, in Belgorod, in the Crimea, fortunately there were people who were not at a loss. keys and opened the concrete basement of the rescue center on the beach, where some vacationers could hide. And Kristina Konstantinova thanks the employees of the Eureka cafe: – Many thanks to the employees of the Eureka cafe – these people saved my children and my friend’s children from a terrorist attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. You are wonderful!!! One of the heroes of the day is the driver Alexander, who did not lose his head and in several trips on his bus took 300 frightened and wounded people from the beach.

Fate itself will decide where and when.” The fact that there are many desperate tourists in Russia became obvious in August 2022.
