very simple and easy. nothing to type, just to search.
area, district,street and building number and the two meters will tell you from when and how long you will have to do with either a sponge bath, shower with friends or lucky you, you have an alternative little hot water boiler that will tidy you over.

Made sticky.
I'll make sure to be on the dacha when the moment arrives.
We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much, for so long, with so little, that we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.

You can probably buy one of those electric machines that heat up the water as it flows (Hotels use them), but make sure the cables in your flat/apartment can cope with the current they use, otherwise you may experience other problems (fires).

you just click on to street and look until your street comes up. i don't know what browser you have, i have google chrome who translates everything into english. so the street names maybe will be different at least a few letters, from the original russian. but i assume you know how to write your street name in russian language or how it is written.
if you don't know which district you are in, get a Moscow map and find out, at least you are one step closer.
or give me your street name and house number, and i can find it for you if you want it....

Russian folk tradition to switch off the hot water each spring:-))

awful tradition!
Why? What are they doing at this time?

Maintenance and repairs. There's a cold winter ahead, everything must be checked for problems. I think no one will argue that it's better to be without hot water in spring or summer than to have it and heating cut off when it's -20 or -30.

Maintenance, they say. The only way to avoid the misery is to get a place with a boiler installed.
In the soviet days they used to shut the hot water for several weeks, if I remember correctly.

when everyone is away or at their dacha?
