Love for a small Homeland begins with reverence for ancestors, with respect for their graves and memory. This is especially evident in the work of a number of local village councils and their attitude to this problem (for example, in Markov). In 2022, we sent a letter to the chairman of the Lebedevsky village Council with a request to remove huge trees from the cemetery that could damage monuments and fences in the old cemetery. In response, a letter was received: there are no funds, organize the work yourself (only it is not entirely clear who should deal with this problem:either dead or alive). Formalism, unsubscription - that's the whole solution. Why, for example, were the chairmen of other village councils, as in Markov, able to resolve this issue? The year is 2024, and the task has not yet been solved. This swan song of the Lebedevsky Village Council continues, unfortunately, and the question of the dead is again raised by the living. Probably, you need to be more sensitive and be able to keep your word, otherwise it turns out that there is no love for your small Homeland, nor for the memory of the deceased, nor for the prayers and requests of the living.
