1Russia: Towns and Villages on FireRosia: Tanàna sy vohitra maro may
2Hundreds of forest and peat fires are raging across central Russia; thousands of people are being evacuated from the affected areas, and, sadly, there are reports of human casualties (at least 28, as of now).Doro ala sy afo be mivaivay no mandripaka manivatsiva an'i Rosia afovoany ; olona an'arivony no alàna amin'ireo faritra voakasika, ary ny mampalahelo dia, misy tatitra mikasika ireo fahafatesan'olona ( miisa 28 farafahakeliny , hatramin'ny androany ).
3In the video below, shot on July 26 in the village of Ulyishchi, 5 km away from the town of Kulebaki in Nizhny Novgorod region, a woman is asking: “Is this really the end of the world?Tamina tranga maro dia tsizarizary ny fandraisana an-tànana ny ezaka famonoana afo, ka nisafidy ny hihetsika amin'ny herin'ny tenany ireo mponina eo an-toerana sy hiaro ireo tanàna sy vohitra manodidina miaraka amin'izay fitaovana mety hananany eo am-pelatanany.
4Ato anatin'ity horonantsary mihetsika eto ambany ity, nalaina tamin'ny 26 Jolay tao amin'ny vohitr'i Ulyishchi, 5 km miala ny tanànan'i Kulebaki any amin'ny faritr'i Nizhny Novgorod , manontany ny vehivavy iray : “Izao marina ve no fara andro ?
5Or is it just a fire?”Sa afo fotsiny io ?”
6The organization of the firefighting effort has been inadequate in many cases, and local residents often choose to self-mobilize and defend nearby towns and villages with whatever means they happen have at their disposal.Tsy nahomby loatra tamin'ny tranga maro ny fandrindràna ezaka famonoana afo, ary nisafidy ny hihetsika amin'ny herin'ny tena ireo mponina eo an-toerana ary hiaro ireo tanàna sy vohitra manodidina miaraka amin'ireo fitaovana izay mety eo am-pelatanany .
7LJ user vollove writes about and posts photos (RUS) from one such impromptu firefighting expedition, desperate, futile and dangerous, that took place on July 29 in the village of Verkhnyaya Vereya, close to the town of Vyksa, also in Nizhny Novgorod region:Manoratra mikasika izany ary maneho sary (RUS) avy amin'ny iray amin'ireny asa famonoana afo ireny ny mpampiasa LJ vollove , kivy, tsy nahomby sady mampidi-doza, izay nitranga tamin'ny 29 Jolay tao amin'ny vohitr'i Verkhnyaya Vereya, manakaiky ny tanànan'i Vyksa, ao amin'ny faritr'i Nizhny Novgorod ihany koa:

14Everyone's waiting.Samy miandry ny tsirairay.

17[photos][sary]
18Then the smoke grows blacker and more intense.Ary mihamainty sy mihamatevina izany setroka izany .
19[…] Gradually, everything turns really dark around, as if during some solar eclipse.[…] Mivadika tsikelikely ho maizina ny manodidina, toy ireny amin'ny fotoanan'ny fanakonan'ny volana ny masoandro ireny.
20Red light appears over the forest, like dawn.Hazavana mena no miseho avy any anaty ala, toy ny masoandro miposaka.

26It looks like the flames the height of a 10-story building.Mitovy haavo amin'ny tranobe misy rihana folo ireo lelafo .

We run down the street to the car […].Nahazo izany tsara ny olona ary nanomboka nitsoaka, ireo mpamono afo koa niantsoantso anay, Mihazakazaha! ary nihazakazaka nidina ny arabe izahay nankeny amin'ny fiara […].

34In general, it feels like hell all around.Amin'ny ankapobeny, hoatry ny hoe any amin'ny afobe ny manodidina .
35We understand that we might die ourselves if we wait for the guy and decide to ride further away from [the village].Mazava aminay fa mety ho faty izahay raha miandry ireo ankizilahy ary tapa-kevitra ny hiala lavitra [ny tanàna ].
36We drive off, call him again - he has managed to jump onto a bus.Lasa izahay, niantso indray , niezaka izy ny nitsambikina ho ao anaty fiara fitateram-bahoaka.
37There was a bus in the village and there were calls for everyone to evacuate.Nisy fiara fitateram-bahoaka teo am-bohitra ary nisy fiantsoana ny tsirairay mba handao ny toerana.

39We understand that this is the end of [Verkhnyaya Vereya]. […]Mazava aminay fa ity no fiafaràn'i [Verkhnyaya Vereya]. […]
40LJ user vollove‘s post continues with an account of a similarly horrifying experience in another village, Borkovka:Mitohy mitantara ireo zava-niainana mampivarahontsana sahala amin'izany tao amin'ny vohitr'i Borkovka ny lahatsoratr'i vollove, mpampiasa LJ:
41[…] We run towards the cars.[…] Nihazakazaka nanantona ireo fiara izahay .
42Incredibly difficult to breathe.Tena sarotra be mihitsy ny mifoka rivotra .
43I feel like lying down.Nahatsiaro tena ho te-hatory mihitsy aho .
44Total dumbness comes over me, from the lack of oxygen.Narenina tanteraka aho, noho ny tsy fisian'ny rivotra azo niainana.
45I make myself run to the car.Nanezaka nanatona ny fiara samirery aho.
46It's strange around.Hafahafa daholo ny manodidina ahy.
47Can't see a thing.Tsy nahita na inona na inona aho.
48Gray darkness and crazy wind that blows you off your feet.Haizim-be sy rivotra mahery vaika no mitsoka gandavo anao.
49Burning branches and cinders are falling from above.Rantsan-kazo sy lavenona no mianjera avy any ambony.
50[…] There's more oxygen inside the car than outside, and I manage to catch my breath. […][…] Misy rivotra madio kokoa ao anaty fiara noho ny any ivelany, ary afaka nanenjika ny fomba fiainako ihany aho . […]
51In another post, LJ user vollove re-posts somebody else's video shot from inside a car in the village of Tamboles, also near Vyksa in Nizhny Novgorod region.Ao amin'ny lahatsoratra iray hafa, mamerina mamoaka horonantsarin'olon-kafa izay nalaina avy ao anaty fiara tao amin'ny vohitr'i Tamboles i vollove mpampiasa LJ , izay eo akaikin' i Vyksa any amin'ny faritr'i Nizhny Novgorod ihany koa .
52The video has had over 170,650 views so far.Hatreto dia nisy mpijery teo amin'ny 170,650 mahery teo ity horonantsary ity.
53People in the car are swearing profusely as they try to escape from the fire, and LJ user vollove comments (RUS) that he had a similar experience on his way out of Borkovka - and was using the same language then:Tena nianiana mafy araky ny tratrany ireo olona tao anaty fiara ary niezaka nitsoaka ny afo, ary milaza i vollove mpampiasa LJ (RUS) fa niaina zavatra sahala amin'izany izy raha nandalo an'i Borkovka - ary nampiasa izany teny izany ihany koa :
54Photos, video footage and written reports from the burning and burned down villages make one think about wartime chaos and destruction.Ireo Saripika, video ary tatitra an-tsoratra maro avy amin'ireo firehetana sy tanàna maro kila forehitra dia mahatonga ny tsirairay hisaintsaina ny korontana sy faharavàna ateraky ny ady.
55LJ user vollove posted photos and wrote this (RUS) about his visit to Tamboles, the village featured in the video above, and about an encounter with one of the volunteers there:Ilay mpampiasa LJ, vollove dia nampakatra sary no sady nanoratra toy ity (RUS) mikasika ny fandalovany tao Tamboles, ilay tanàna asongadina anatin'itsy horonantsary mihetsika etsy ambony, ary mikasika ny fifanenany tamina mpirotsaka an-tsitrapo iray tao an-toerana:
56The man is a former officer, says that he saw nothing like this [during the war in Nagorno-Karabakh], only in [Chechnya].Mpiasa birao teo aloha ilay rangahy, ary milaza fa mbola tsy nahita zavatra toy ity mihitsy izy [nandritra ny ady tany Nagorno-Karabakh], afa-tsy tany [Chechnya] ihany.
57But, he says, there was aimed bombing there, while here… They were rushing back and forth down the streets, extinguishing lower fires here and there […].Saingy, hoy izy, nisy dikany ny nanapoahana baomba tany, fa eto … Nihazakazaka nisavoritaka eraky ny lalambe izy ireo, namono ny afo tety ambany tetsy sy teroa […]. ary nanompa azy, nilaza taminy hiahy ny tenany.
58[…] The fire was jumping over houses and streets, hitting somewhat selectively.Niangavy anay hitondra azy manodidina amin'ny fiara, haka sary sy hamoaka izany amin'ny aterineto. […].
59That is, we saw a burned down stone home, and next to it an undamaged wooden barn.[ …] Nitsambikina eny ambonin'ny trano sy ny lalàna ny afo, mifidy ny hodorany amin'ny fomba tsy fantatra hoe ahoana.
60He was praising those few firefighting crews that were there.Izany hoe, nahita trano vato iray nirehitra izahay, ary teo akaikiny anefa, nisy trano hazo tsy maninon-tsy maninona.
61Told us how he called the [local] administration, asking them to bring some food for the firefighters, and they were cursing him, told him to manage on their own.Nanakiana mafy ireo ekipan'ny mpamono afo tonga teo izy. Niteny taminay ny fomba niantsoany ny manam-pahefana [teo an-toerana] izy ary nangataka azy ireo ny hitondra sakafo ho an'ireo mpamono afo, ary nanaraby azy anefa ireo, ary nilaza taminy ny hanaovany arak'izay vitan'ny tenany.
62He asked us to drive around, take photos and post them on the web.Niangavy anay izy ny hijery ny manodidina amin'ny fiara, ny haka sary ary ny haneho izany eo amin'ny tranonkala .
63[…] The scene looks surreal, as if there had been bombing there indeed.[…] Toy ny tsy tena izy mihitsy ny zava-niseho, toy ny hoe nisy nanapoaka baomba mihitsy teo
64This is how LJ user igorpodgorny explains (RUS) the poor emergency response to the fire catastrophe:Toy izao no nanazavan' (RUS)ny mpampiasa LJ igorpodgorny ny valin'ny famonjena maika mampalahelo amin'ny loza ateraky ny afo:
65[…] In the recent years [regional, not federal, authorities] are responsible for fighting the fires, and that's why prompt exchange of resources and tools [between regions] is no longer possible (even though the fires do not recognize any administrative borders).[…] Tao anatin'ireo taona vao haingana, tompon'andraikitra amin'ny famonoana ny afo [ireo manam-pahefana rezionaly, fa tsy federaly intsony ] ary izany no antony tsy mampety olona sy fitaoana amin'ny fomba haingana [eo amin'ny samy faritra ] (na dia tsy mahalala ny sisin-tany ara-taratasy aza ny afo ).
66Because of the organizational chaos and minuscule financing, the areas affected by the fires continue to grow.Noho ny korontana ara-pikarakarana sy ny fanohanana ara-bola kely dia kely, miha-mitombo hatrany ireo toerana voakasiky ny afo.
67In the recent years, the state has been spending only about 1 ruble [$0.03] a year per one hectare of forest.Tamin'ireo taona farany, 1 robla [0.03 dolara amerikana ] isan-taona isaky ny ala iray hekitara monja no vola naloan'ny fanjakana.
68For the same purpose, the United States is spending 100 times as much - over $4 a year.Amin'ny tanjona mitovy, mandany 100 avo heny noho izany i Etazonia - mihoatra ny 4 dolara amerikana isan-taona .
69Here's a short video of what's left of the aforementioned Borkovka village, posted by YouTube user bellyiup:Ity misy horonantsary mihetsika fohy ahitana ireo sisa tavela amin'ny vohitr'i Borkovka nolazaina teo aloha , nasehon'i bellyiup, mpampiasa YouTube :
70And here's some footage of the burned down barracks in the village of Mirnyi, by the same YouTube user bellyiup:Ary ireto misy tantara mitohy ahitana ireo trano kila ao amin'ny vohitr'i Mirnyi, avy amin'ny mpampiasa YouTube bellyiup ihany:
71LJ user doctor-joy writes that his boss has just returned from the village of Kriusha in Ryazan region, where his relatives used to live, and told him this about the firefighting fiasco there:Manoratra i doctor-joy, mpampiasa LJ fa vao avy niverina avy any amin'ny vohitr'i Kriusha any amin'ny faritr'i Ryazan ny sefony, toerana izay ipetrahan'ireo havany, ary nilaza taminy mikasika ny tsy fahombiazan'ny famonoan'afo any an-toerana :
72[…] According to eyewitnesses, the firefighters arrived without water, asked where they could find water, took it once from there, then the place where there was water was cut off by the fire, and then everything was burning like gunpowder.[…]Raha ny filazan'ireo nanatri-maso, tonga tany tsy nanana rano ireo mpamono afo, nanontany hoe aiza izy ireo no mety hahita rano, naka izany teo amin'ilay toerana, ary avy eo notapahan'ny afo ilay toerana nisy ilay rano, ary dia nirehitra toy ny vanja ny zavatra rehetra .
73Only a few buildings remained intact, the fire passed them by via the forest.Tranobe iray ihany no tsy naninona, nihodina an-dry zareo nanaraka ny ala fotsiny ny afo.
74LJ user doctor-joy also posted this YouTube video (as YouTube user Pojarnet) of a car ride through the fires in the village of Kriusha, commenting: “On TV and internet they say that the fire has been extinguished, while this is what it looks like in reality!!!Naneho ity horonantsary You Tube mikasika ny fandehanan'ny fiara mamaky ny afo ao amin'ny vohitr'i Kriushaity ihany koa i doctor-jo,y mpampiasa LJ (toy ny mpampiasa YouTube Pojarnet) , milaza hoe : “Milaza izy ireo ao amin'ny fahitalavitra sy aterineto hoe, efa maty ny afo, nefa toy izao izany no fisehoany raha ny tena zava-misy marina !!!
75People aren't getting help!”Tsy misy manampy ireo olona !”
76LJ user igorkomarov posted a photo report (RUS) of the joint firefighting efforts in the villages of Belgorod region.Naneho tatitra an-sary (RUS) mikasika ny ezaka iarahan'ireo mpamono afo any amin'ireo vohitra ao amin'ny faritr'i Belgorod ny mpampiasa LJ igorkomarov.
77Here's some of what he wrote (RUS):Ity misy ny sombiny amin'izay nosoratany (RUS):
78[…] A negative factor in this situation was that on the same day a column of modern firetrucks moved out of [Belgorod, the region's capital] to extinguish fires in Moscow region. […][…] Ny zavatra ratsy amin'ity zava-miseho ity dia tamin'io andro io no niala tao [Belgorod, renivohi-paritra ] ireo andiana fiarabe raitra mpamono afo handeha hamono afo any amin'ny faritr'i Moskoa . […]
79[…][…]
80We ran out of water and rushed to the river.Tsy ampy rano izahay ary lasa naka teny amin'ny renirano.
81But at this point a local woman brought out a herd of cows into the middle of the road.Nefa teo amin'io toerana io, nisy vehivavy teo an-toerana nitondra ny ombivaviny teo ampovoan-dalana.
82In general, it was hard to ignore the [selfish] position of the villagers - my house is on the edge, let the neighbor's house burn down [I don't care what happens to anyone but myself].Amin'ny ankapobeny, sarotra ny tsy hahatsapa ny toeran'ny [fitiavan-tenan'ny ] mponina - eo amin'ny sisiny no misy ny tranoko , aleo hirehitra any ny tranon'ireo mpiray vodirindrina [Tsy miraharaha izay mahazo ny hafa aho fa ny ahy ihany ].
83Local internet forums are bursting with discussions of the fires and information on how to help those who have lost their homes and other property.Tototry ny resaka momba ny afo sy ny vaovao mikasika ny fomba ahafahana manampy ireo very trano sy fananana hafa ireo toeram-piseraserana amin'ny aterineto eo an-toerana.
84On LiveJournal, at least two communities (RUS) have been set up recently: pozar_ru and emercommunity.Ao amin'ny LiveJournal, fiaraha-monina roa farafahakeliny (RUS) no natsangana vao haingana : pozar_ru syemercommunity.
