In Alekseevsky region of Tatarstan with detached ice rescued fishermen

Skiing is a real elixir of health that strengthens the body, hardens the spirit and fills with energy. Those who have ever climbed a ski slope know that the frosty air and rhythmic gliding give an amazing feeling of freedom and vivacity.  

This winter, the republic was hit by the elements. Cyclones gave way to anticyclones, snowfalls to blizzards, and by early February, snowdrifts in populated areas of Tatarstan reached 203% of the average monthly norm. Roofs of buildings, sidewalks and pedestrian paths were under the weight of snow.  

Winter is coming to the end, which means that it's time to warm each other not only with tea, but also with kind words. It has become an important ritual that helps us stay united. During the whole Shrovetide week, colleagues treat each other to delicious pancakes, dried fruits, and bagels with fragrant tea in the Emergency Call Centers in Naberezhnye Chelny and Kazan.

Dear colleagues, dear friends!  Congratulations to the personnel of the department and veterans of the service on Defender of the Fatherland Day! This holiday highlights the importance of protecting the national interests and sovereignty of our great state.
