The management and personnel of JSC RusHydro are infinitely grateful for the support and assistance from all those who feel for people that find themselves in trouble.

The accident caused the deaths of dozens of employees of JSC RusHydro, JSC Sayano-Shushenskiy Gidroenergoremont, LLC Tekhnostroy, and OOPSK Avangard S.  On 20 August, 2009, JSC RusHydro opened the charity programme “We are with you Sayano!” and began collecting contributions into the “Sozidaniye” fund, with which JSC RusHydro has long been a partner.  The funds collected will be used to support the families of the deceased, pay for treatment and rehabilitation of the victims.

Any individual or organisation can make its own contributions in support of the victims and the families of those who gave their lives in the accident.
