Zakhar Prilepin praised the children's hospital in the city of Krasnoturinsk, Sverdlovsk region, for the banner with the letter Z and the inscription "Work, guys!", calling it an example of civil society. The Krasnoturinsk LIVE group on the VKontakte social network, in response to Prilepin's post , published stories of patients about the conditions in the hospital, as well as photos from the inside with insects, shabby walls and mold.

Prilepin wrote on his Telegram channel that doctors, on their own initiative, placed a poster on the building.

Administrators of the city group talked to patients who were in the hospital with their children. According to them, the department for children with respiratory diseases still has mold on the walls, cockroaches and ants crawl. One of the patients was there a month ago and claims that the department is in a terrible state.

“I complained wherever I could, but there were no results, but our embankments are in good condition, and no one wants to see the conditions in which our children are.”

According to her, with this question she turned to the governor of the Sverdlovsk region, Yevgeny Kuyvashev, and to the mayor of Krasnoturinsk, Alexander Ustinov. Both read her messages, but did not respond. Another patient told how she plugged huge gaps in the windows with sheets and a mattress.
