Those who have power and money, I go and deliver the documents without standing in queues from six in the morning.
No matter how assured the supporters of the so-called “DNR” and “LNR” that bezviz as new passports (biometrical) they don’t need — in fact, everything was much more predictable. Hundreds of residents of the occupied territories rushed over the line of demarcation “to do biometrics”, creating more queues at roadblocks and checkpoints, as well as the passport office and immigration services.
“I do not understand those who in the spring of 2014 loudest campaigned for the “DNR” and urged to become citizens of this “great country.” I have a few such friends. They loudly shouted that no Europe they do not need that the European Union will close mines and factories. Now they run, hiding their “passports DNR” go to hell, and looking to make a biometric passport cheaper. They certainly do, but not quickly — say, in Mariupol, waiting for a couple of months stretched”, — said the resident of Donetsk Alexander.
THE MONEY IS THERE. “Why do you need a biometric passport? For any money you’re in Europe will you go?” — often asks the young Pitmen elderly relatives. The youth feebly grins: “You, the Soviet Union was built here — so live in it. And we want the world to see.”
Despite the closures, the high cost of goods and the poverty of the majority of the population, money for passports, some of the citizens of Donetsk are. Someone got the stash, stashed for a rainy day, someone deliberately set aside, waiting patiently for the time when Ukraine will receive bezviz and move to biometric passports.
“To the normal payment for the passport is added the cost of travel under control of the city, where passport is issued, this is not a cheap pleasure, — said Yulia donchanka Sintsova. — The official fees for registration of the passport — about 800 UAH. Return trip on the buses — nearly 300 UAH, if the carrier is 800-1000 UAH. Expensive, Yes, but if you have two or three passports is done on the family — that all comes out very “snappy”.
FOR THE DAY. The Pitmen tried to get new documents all by hook or by crook. Those who have power and money, I go and deliver the documents without standing in queues from six in the morning. Others are willing to pay a considerable amount of numerous intermediaries, who offer to do the biometrics just a day. The Internet is full of ads with similar proposals.
“You don’t waste time in endless queues at the immigration service. Payment of the official fees is our concern. The submission can be done at a convenient time for you. Control the readiness of your document” — tout in one of the ads. The geography of almost any design. Kramatorsk, Mariupol, the Dnepr, Kiev — in any city at will.
However, if before the official announcement of bitwise for such assistance, the mediators asked about 2,000 hryvnia, but now the price has seriously jumped. “My friend and I recently decided to issue a biometric passport. Immediately arose a lot of questions: where to go, what reception days is how to take a turn… Friends suggested mediation. The price is 3200 UAH without queues in a single document. Additionally you had to pay the fare of 1000 hryvnia and official payments. In the end, only apply to us cost almost 5 thousand UAH”, — said the resident of Makeyevka Alina.
According to the source, file the paperwork for a brand new passport, they managed in just one day. “In the morning we were picked up by car from Makeyevka. In the cabin there were two more persons who were to obtain foreign “ausweise”. Near migration service, we waited for the handsome man who had collected our passports and we went to be photographed and fingerprinted. As promised, we were all issued without the queues and the total for the day. If we tried to make a passport for yourself — would spend at least a few days. While I found where to turn until the coupons took until the queue waited, and after all this time you need somewhere to live, need money for food. In the end, would make the same amount,” — said makeascene.
BUSINESS. Paperwork for residents of uncontrolled territories — this is a well-established and refined over three years of the war business. Certificates of birth and death, passport and pension certificate it is possible to obtain, would be money.
“What to do? Of course, there are intermediaries. The situation gave rise to them, as corrupt officials. I think only the people here earn? Yes, everywhere. But I guess that’s why they can say thank you, somehow make our lives easier,” says the resident of Gorlovka Igor.
Retirement people who didn’t get it for a long time or have serious health problems, is the most expensive. The cost of such services varies from the amounts of unpaid pensions, so to pay for the resumption of payment of pensions can be worth 10 thousand UAH and more. As a rule, the mediators are asking 3-4 thousand once, and another 10-15% from the total debt, which will get people after registration of documents and payment of pensions locked.
“On the controlled territories in various instances there are people willing to help those who remained in occupation. Yes, not free, but believe me, they are at risk too. And really it would be better if it were not for this sort of thing? Believe me, we’re not picking on dim price, just in the chain quite a lot of people that I need to “thank”. Clean out the pockets of the elderly to the holes we are not going”, — he explained his activities one of the mediators.
TOOK MY PENSION. “My father very sick for two years and receives a pension. While in Gorlovka was still working, we gave up on where to pull the sick person through the checkpoints, and even then, you need to survive in the migration service, Pension Fund, Bank, shares his story horlivchanka Marina Nikolaevna. But in the winter my husband lost his job, I’m in school receive a penny, so I had to look for exits, as we father to restore the pension”.
According to the woman, through intermediaries they were able to unlock a pension for two out. “The main condition was the presence of the father in various structures to put the signature where it is necessary to have a picture on e-pension card.
But everywhere we went no queues and very quickly, despite the terrible turn in the corridor. Then another time I had to go and be present at the place of registration of the father as migrant on the day of inspection. The person who helped us in advance he knew the day when she will come that too facilitate the trip,” says Marina Nikolaevna.
