Especially under the influence of the terrifying cold wave, many residents of cities too close to the Arctic Region are unable to go out to work or labor, resulting in an outpouring of panic and dissatisfaction on the internet.
Online public opinion was fermenting and spreading rapidly.
"I just want to ask what the officials are doing? Electricity prices have gone crazy, rising to eight hundred rubles per kilowatt-hour. Are they trying to kill us?"
"Exactly. Now, if the heating stops, you could freeze to death. We need to consume at least a hundred degrees of electricity every day. How can ordinary citizens afford such electricity prices?"
"Many power stations that lack adequate cold protection measures are unable to function, and with the sharp rise in demand for electricity, prices are bound to be expensive. I hope the officials will take action soon to adjust it. Otherwise, I'm afraid all our life savings will be thrown into these electricity bills."
