This is what Arina Sokolova wrote in her article https://kotenarina.livejournal.com/336013.html

Have you been to hell? I haven't before. So... Krymsk today is a branch of hell on earth. What's happening there is scary. I’ll say right away - I confirm 100% - THERE WAS A WATER DISCHARGE!!!! It's not rain.

In the morning I left Krasnodar for Krymsk, the road to Novoukrainskaya is quite clean. At the entrance to Krymsk there are huge queues of trucks. I asked the drivers why, they don’t know. Besides the fact that the traffic policeman is pulling out of the car. They stand like this for the second day.

When driving onto the bridge, there were torn out pieces of asphalt that were carried around like sheets of paper. There is partially no asphalt near the railings. Fuel oil is spilled on the road, the smell is clearly noticeable. Fences with brick pillars lie on the ground, sheets of iron are bent with superhuman strength. It can be seen that there was a wave of water, and this wave was huge. The level of incoming water can be seen in the houses. Many houses have no roofs and walls have collapsed. Inside is a mixture of mud and silt, 30-40 cm thick. I walked through about 26 houses, people themselves asked to go inside and see WHAT IS GOING ON THERE. Furniture, REFRIGERATORS - LIKE TOYS - SCORED IN CORNERS. Things and equipment were taken out into the gardens and orchards. Everything is covered in dirt. There were overturned cars everywhere, the stream was demolishing everything in its path. People cry.. You know.. this is that feeling of fear, hopelessness that you feel physically. Pain. A woman with two sons, 13 and 16 years old, stood for 5 hours on a pyramid of kitchen and coffee tables, watching the water rise, praying just to survive. In the house next door to hers, a grandmother and her daughter drowned. Many victims. The police came at me with a stupid question: what right do I have to take photographs here? Realizing that I couldn’t adequately explain anything to these guys and the situation was not developing in my favor, when they started grabbing the camera strap, I had to voice those whose support I had enlisted, whose support I was officially promised at the time I was in the city, include the fifth speed and retreat through mud and puddles.

Now what I heard personally from the residents of Krymsk. And I will subscribe to every word they say! This is not a situation for them to cheat. There was NO notification! At 10 pm the power suddenly went out. People thought it must have been an accident, without attaching any significance. Between 12:00 am and 01:00 am, a roar suddenly arose, those who were not sleeping jumped out into the street and fell into the water, because... the water was rising and the courtyards were already flooded. The water was rising until about 5 am, then it slowly began to decline.

Climate and nature

The favorable location of Krymsk provided it with an excellent climate and ecology. This largely depends on where Krymsk is located on the map. On one side it has the endless Kuban steppes, on the other - the gray Caucasus, on the third - the warm Black Sea. Thanks to this, the city of Krymsk has a temperate continental climate with early spring, late autumn and fairly warm winters. True, January may not spare Krymsk, covering it with snowfalls and frosts, but this phenomenon is short-term and unstable.

But the summer here is hot, even sultry, so the climate and ecology of Krymsk are excellent for recreation and tourism. The location of the city on the map helps the influx of tourists, especially in those years when, due to the influx of people, the entire infrastructure of the surrounding cities is overloaded. You will definitely like it in Krymsk!

City districts

If you look at the map, which shows a detailed plan, you can see that the whole of Krymsk is divided into districts. Each of them has both advantages and disadvantages, as well as unofficial names:

• Railway Station and Selection Station (OSS);
• Rock;
• Microdistrict;
• Central Market;
• Military City;
• Pig market;
• Greenhouses;
• Secondary school No. 3;
• Secondary school No. 6;
• Secondary school No. 7.

Two districts - the Railway Station and the Experimental Selection Station - are located on both sides of the railway tracks and are densely populated. There is no crossing path, and residents have to go out of town to get home. The busy M4 highway passes through the area, and traffic flows around the clock. In addition to noise, accidents involving pedestrians often occur.

"The Rock" is the largest region of the city, which in the past was intended for migrants. Meskhitian Turks live here. The long Lunacharsky Street runs through the area.

There are only private one-story houses with garden plots; the infrastructure in the region is well developed.

Not far from the center, near the ring road, there is a cozy and quiet Microdistrict. It has all the necessary infrastructure, new supermarkets and multi-storey buildings are being built. Residents farm in the immediate vicinity.

The Central Market area occupies the main part of the city with administrative buildings, shopping malls, medical institutions, gardens, and schools. On the bank of the river, the Crimean “Rublyovka” is being built - the Teplitsy or Slobodka microdistrict. The only school-lyceum in Krymsk was opened here.

On the outskirts is the Pig Market area. In Soviet times, meat was traded here, which is why it got its name. Subsequently, the territory was expanded and they began to sell household goods and spare parts for cars. Nowadays it is the “DIN” car market, but the previous name has been preserved.

Families of military personnel working at the closed airfield live in the Military Town. All the necessary infrastructure is available here. A minibus runs to the city center.
