PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, March 29 (RIA Novosti correspondent Yekaterina Kolch) – Kamchatka’s veterans of the Great Patriotic War, who need to improve their living conditions, will be able to move to the regional center, Larisa Bobrovnik, the vice governor, told RIA Novosti on Tuesday.

“Our budget allocations this year include appropriations for moving five veterans of the Great Patriotic War, who live in difficult rural conditions,” said Bobrovnik.

According to her, the program for moving veterans in Kamchatka has been in effect for a few years now, though previously money was allocated for one or two flats a year. The vice-governor also specified that the veterans would be moved to Petropavlovsk before September 3.

Kamchatka’s veterans can also improve their living conditions in accordance with the government program.

“The health ministry has asked us to make the list of war veterans who live in poor conditions. We have prepared these documents together with the regional council of veterans and have already sent them to Moscow,” said Bobrovnik.

According to her, this list includes 27 veterans of the Great Patriotic War who live in Kamchatka.
