Beavers To The Rescue Of Russian Village

In defiance of local planning laws - and in spite of the scale of the task confronting them - a rogue band of beavers has intervened to rescue the inhabitants of a remote Russian village.
For at least a decade residents of the aptly-named village of Bobrovka - which translates as "village of the beavers" - had petitioned the local administration to build them a new dam, after the previous, ageing Soviet construction was washed away.
With no dam they were left with no reservoir, which meant nowhere for firefighters to draw water in an emergency and difficult watering crops in times of drought.
