Victory volunteers: power engineers connected water supply to a war veteran

08.05.2019

Sofia Ledovskaya, 92, lived in a house of the middle of the last century without running water.

Employees of IDGC of Centre - Lipetskenergo division connected water supply to the home of the WWII veteran, home front worker, labour veteran, Lipetskenergo’s veteran Sofia N. Ledovskaya. She still lives in the house that her father rebuilt in 1941 on the site destroyed by a projectile. There is no running water, a water pump across the road, and a well is not affordable for the family. Sophia Ledovskaya’s relatives asked Lipetskenergo for help.

Sofya Ledovskaya came to work in the Gryazinsky Distribution Zone in the post-war period and worked here for 30 years in various positions: both a controller and a cashier.

“Today we talk every day about digitalization and innovation, and here an elderly person lives without water. A glaring case, we could not remain indifferent. We drilled a well, installed a pump and were sincerely glad that we could take care of our veteran,” said Ekaterina Mushnikova, the head of the HR department of IDGC of Centre - Lipetskenergo division.

The power engineers also visited the village of Kurino with the veterans of the Frolovs. Larisa Frolova worked in Lipetskenergo for 38 years, Mikhail Frolov for a quarter of a century. Employees of Khlevensky Distribution Zone cut firewood and painted the barn. Today in the veteran organization of Lipetskenergo there are 19 home front workers. All of them on the eve of Victory Day were assisted, handed flowers and gifts.

“The veterans have invested so much effort, time and health in our prosperous present that taking care of them is now our most important task,” says Sergey Koval, Director of IDGC of Centre - Lipetskenergo division. “It does not matter how much help the elderly will need, the main thing is that we have the opportunity to thank them for their many years of hard post-war work.”
