Roads in golden city paved with… nothing

Krasnoye-on-Volga, with its eight thousand inhabitants, should fit into the stereotype of rural Russia: simple and traditional. Only this town is the country's goldsmith capital, and the one of a multi-million industry.









"...there is a good explanation of why this is happening..."?! I have read the text trice, and I still do not see any explanation, never mind a good one. There are EXCUSES, there are plenty of "...why somebody else does not do it..", and so on. But not really an explanation of how can local authorities allow this to happen. It they think that there is a problem with funding, labor, etc. , they should have addressed it. They are not the debate club, but public servants with duties and responsibilities. No civic pride, no caring for the environment in which the population lives, and raises their children? There ought to be a Hall of Shame, to highlight such things!
