<p><span id="more-731"></span>Но в обещанных красках пока преобладает в основном черная. Черные лужи нефтяных разливов зияют гигантскими воронками, обрамленные снежными надувами или наспех присыпанные свежим грунтом.<br />
В лучах зимнего солнца лужи становятся и правда разноцветными, переливаясь всеми цветами радуги.<br />
Пережившие эпоху царей, революцию большевиков с их коллективизацией, хаос 90х, коренные народы севера сейчас стоят на грани вымирания. Нефтегазовый бизнес оказался страшнее угроз прошлого. Обнаружение нефти и ее добыча означает смерть для традиционного уклада жизни местного населения, потерю собственной самобытности, и, в конечном итоге, исчезновение культуры как таковой.<br />
Кажется, со времен колонизации Америки ничего не изменилось. Разве что современные зеркала и бусы стали технологически более сложными, а схемы товарообмена более хитрыми.<br />
Занимаясь в процессуальном смысле мошенничеством, нефтегазовые компании захватывают все новые и новые территории, вытесняя общины с насиженных столетиями мест, ограждаясь от них шлагбаумами и привезенной с материка охраной.<br />
Согласно закону для освоения нового месторождения необходимо проводить референдум среди коренного населения. Зачастую такой референдум не проводится вовсе, или руками карманного главы общины результаты подтасовываются или покупаются.<br />
В РФ одно из самых жестких природоохранных законодательств, но, кажется, оно не работает. Очевидно, поэтому поведение нефтяных корпораций является таким варварским.<br />
По самым скромным оценкам экологических организаций ежегодно около 1% (5 млн. тонн) от добываемой нефти в России теряется, выливаясь из отработавших свое трубопроводов, нефтяных качалок, загрязняя почву и реки. Разливы нефти, сеть дорог, профили сейсмологической разведки, делают тундру малопригодной для традиционного ведения хозяйства коренными народами.<br />
Проведя меньше недели за рулем автомобиля и перемещаясь только по открытым дорогам, экологическая экспедиция Greenpeace нашла по меньшей мере четыре разлива нефти на Харампуровском месторождении. Трудно себе представить, что происходит на землях, скрытых от глаз случайных людей.<br />
Включенные фары нашего автомобиля скрывали от нас северное сияние. Только погасив их во время очередной остановки, мы, задрав головы, замерли в изумлении, боясь спугнуть своим присутствием это удивительное природное явление.<br />
Точно так же, гигантский нефтегазовый спрут поглощает своими щупальцами бесценную лесотундру, оставляя после себя ржавый скелет и незамерзающие лужи, отражающие холод ночного неба.<br />
Мы ничего не дали коренным народам севера, кроме сомнительного комфорта поселковой жизни и обязательного образования, заставляя детей проводить бОльшую часть года в школе-интернате вдали от родителей и традиций природопользования. Но зато, наверняка отобрали у них право на будущее.<br />
Потеряв 60 % своей родовой территории и сократив поголовье своего стада оленя на 80 %, но отстояв оставшееся, ненец Владимир Вэлла еще оставляет надежду на то, что уйди нефтяники сейчас, природа сможет восстановить себя. По дороге на свое стойбище, где по-прежнему живут его мать Мария и отец Икла он показывает ржавые остовы заброшенного нефтяного куста сквозь который плотным рядом выросли березы.<br />
Но, очевидно, надежды его утопичны.<br />
Нефтегазовые корпорации рвутся дальше на север, замахнувшись на арктический шельф.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Young silly girls” that’s how Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov referred to Ukrainian Femen movement activists Oxana Shachko, Anna Deda and Irina Fomina. The three were sentenced to 5-12 days jail for appearing topless at an election site during the presidential vote in Russia and imitating an attempt to steal the ballot box, which Putin had used to vote earlier in the day.<br />
It was the first time Deda and Fomina had been in jail&#8230;..<br />

<p><span id="more-713"></span><br />
One wouldn’t be able to tell it was Fomina’s first ever protest the night before, when the women gathered to practice in a hostel room overlooking the Moscow river. I had never covered this intimate process of preparation for an act of protest before. Moreover, it was the first time I met the activists, and I barely knew their leader Anna Hutsol. That left me slightly confused.<br />
The day before the elections, Hutsol replied to my request to come and photograph them, saying she would most likely agree. All day long, in my head I was going through pictures of Femen shot by Alessandro Bianchi in Italy, Gleb Garanich in Ukraine, photos that had won at the World Press Photo and POYi, trying to make mine different. My fears about repeating what had been shot already proved groundless, thanks to the interior of the Soviet-style apartment made into a hostel.<br />
Hutsol called me to say the hostel only allowed guests until 23:00. The complicated thing was that the FIS Snowboard World Cup, which I was covering that day, did not end until 21:00. By 21:40, I was at the address Hutsol had sent me. A few male hostel guests lazily sat in front of a TV set in their sweat pants, clueless about what was being prepared next door.<br />
The host, who had no idea about the organization the good-looking young women belonged to, asked them to take photos of themselves in the interiors of the hostel and write a review about it. She wanted to use them for advertisements in the future. We laughed as we found the offer funny given Femen’s growing popularity in Russia and abroad.<br />
Deda sat at her computer preparing a press release. Fomina covered herself with a blanket and watched euronews. Hutsol came back from a local store 10 minutes later. After a brief discussion the rehearsal began.<br />
The protest involved an imitation of stealing the ballot bin Putin was going to use, in a metaphor of votes being stolen from Russians in Putin’s favor.<br />
Showing no intimidation whatsoever, the girls took off their shirts and Shachko, who is an artist, wrote on their chests “Kremlin rats,” “I am stealing for Putin,” “Thief.” The last word, one of the activists carried on her back, came from a Russian-English dictionary.<br />
Fifteen minutes later, when the writing was done, they started practicing taking off their clothes. Fomina came first in every round. During the actual protest, however, Fomina lost timing to Shachko, who was the first to get to the ballot bin and who also got the longest jail term.<br />
We had to keep the noise down, so we whispered through the rest of the rehearsal. The women even practiced their actions in case they were held by security officers. Next, they studied the location of the election site on Yandex maps.<br />
The success of the protest depended on many factors. The site was guarded by all possible security forces, from regular police to Federal Security Service officers, who seemed to make up a quarter of all present at the site. Some three minutes before Femen appeared, about an hour after Putin left, the entrance security check was eased.<br />
Journalists walked around, occasionally catching random shots. And that’s where it all began….<br />

<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Русский вариант тескта:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">“Молодые дурочки”, Оксана Шачко, Анна Деда и Ирина Фомина , именно так описал активисток украинского движения<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>‘Фемен’, пресс-секретарь победившего на выборах премьер министра В. Путина, получили свои первые сроки в России, от 5 до 12 дней заключения. К слову сказать, для Анны и Ирины это первые реальные сроки, а участие последней в акции, вообще первое. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Но то что, для Ирины это будет первая акция, да еще против будущего президента России совершенно не чувствовалось во время их репетиции в снятой комнате хостела на набережной Москва реки. Я никогда прежде не освещал такого интимного процесса подготовки акции, более того, впервые видел активисток и слабо был знаком с их лидером Анной Гуцол. Это оставляло мне повод дня волнения. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Анна написала мне утром субботы, что вероятнее всего, ответят<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>на мою просьбу о присутствии на репетиции положительно. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Аня позвонила, предупредив, что времени у меня максимум до 23.00, так как гостям не разрешено оставаться позже. Ужас заключался в том, что этап <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">FIS</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Snowboard</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">World</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Cup</span>, на котором я работал тем же днем, заканчивался<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>никак не раньше 21.00. К 21.40 я был по адресу указанному в смс. Постояльцы хостела, мужчины средних лет лениво переключали каналы телевизора расположившись в гостиной, не подозревая, кто скрывается за соседней дверью.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Хозяйка хостела, не имея понятия об организации, в которой девушки состоят,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>в день их приезда предложила им сняться в интерьере комнаты и написать отзыв, что-то типа рекламы. Мы долго смеялись, найдя это предложение забавным, учитывая мировой интерес к движению Фемен и в России в частности. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Деда сидела за компьютером, готовя пресс-релиз, Ирина накрывшись одеялом смотрела <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Euronews</span>. Через 10 минут пришла из ближайшего магазина Гуцол. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Немного посовещавшись, репетиция началась.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Смысл предстоящей акции был в показательной краже урны для голосования, в которую уже опустил свой голос Путин, иллюстрируя тем самым кражу голосов россиян в пользу главного фаворита президентской гонки. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Нисколько не смущаясь, девушки сняли футболки и Оксана, она же художник, принялась писать на их телах ‘Кремлевские Крысы’, ‘Краду за Путина’, ‘Вор’. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Через 15 минут надписи были закончены, и началась репетиция снятия одежды. Во всех трех попытках побеждала Ирина, однако на воскресной акции она не сможет повторить свой успех и к избирательной урне устремится Оксана, очевидно, за что и получит бОльший срок, 12 дней. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Отрепетировали действия на случай физического применения силы сотрудниками безопасности и принялись изучать местонахождение изб. участка на <span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Yandex</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span>картах. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Успех проведения акции зависел от многих факторов, ведь участок охраняется всеми возможными службами безопасности, от обычных полицейских в форме до сотрудников федеральной службы безопасности в штатском. Кажется, каждый четвертый на участке был именно представителем этих ведомств. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Буквально за 3 минуты до прихода Фемен режим прохождения на участок смягчили. Журналисты бродили по участку из стороны в сторону, что-то снимая, кто то монтировался, передавался. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">И тут началось……. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don’t remember a time when Moscow hasn’t been flooded with them – migrants from Central Asia.<br />
When I moved here in 1997 they were already here. They had started appearing more than 20 years ago, the time when the Soviet Union was falling apart. Some fled civil wars, but more often they were escaping the awful economic situation in their homelands. Not exactly an escape, but they came to make some money, leaving their families at home. The economic situation in Russia even now isn’t enviable, at the beginning of the 1990’s it was woeful, but none the less better than there.<br />

<p>When I started to shoot this story I saw the following scene: two women arguing about a dog belonging to one of them that was swimming with children in a river one hot July day. In the same place migrants from Tajikistan were swimming, they were about half of the bathers present. The women were shouting and arguing for a long time about the hygiene of the dog. Bystanders became involved and eventually sided with the dog owner, arguing that it was permissible since there were already several “darkies” swimming in the same place, so the water could hardly be considered clean. The darkies, deeply tanned only on their necks and forearms, listened silently and continued swimming and didn’t pay any attention to what was happening. Everybody is used to it, but I felt deeply ashamed.<br />
That’s what I wanted to photograph, but it seemed impossible. The unpleasantness of locals to the immigrants is an intangible, a mentality ingrained as part of the status quo, easy to seem unremarkable and by its nature unnoticed. However there are so many aspects to this relationship that reflect a multitude of issues confronting Russia at the beginning of the 21st century.<br />
Those who work with migrants think there is somewhere between 2 and 3 million central Asians working in and around Moscow. The Russian authorities put the figure at just under a million. The discrepancy in figures may be a problem of paperwork; most citizens of the former CIS don’t need a visa to come to the Russian capital. They do need a work permit, but these can be obtained by one means or another and so become currency on the shady side of Russia’s balance sheet. Working without the correct paperwork can be expensive in bribes. Being uncountable is both profitable and helps to conceal the scale involved. A huge hole in the demographic curve of Russia, a result of the shock tactics of conversion to a free market in the 1990’s, means there is a shortage of young adults coming into the working age bracket. Russia’s hydrocarbon driven economy needs diversification, but the labor resources for development projects is lacking. The migrants come, to fill the gap.<br />
The majority of migrants I talked with want to, at some point, leave Russia and in general only see Russia as a way to make money. There is a regular flow at the train stations for the three day ride to central Asia, those who have made enough, or had enough, passing the new replacements arriving. Belongings are loaded onto the passenger seats, the herds of checkered bags offering little safety from border guards who prey on the returnees, knowing they will have to pass through, their documents doubtfully in order.<br />
Aside from the general background level hostility from the man in the street, there is a worrying growth in nationalist extremism. 2010’s riot in central Moscow brought unexpected focus to these racial tensions. Race related homicide is not uncommon. The central Asians make easy targets due to their appearance and Muslim faith. Islamic separatists from the Caucasus have given an obvious argument to those wishing to single out Muslims, in this country of renewed Orthodox faith, remembered and encouraged since the atheist Soviet era. Maintaining an out-group is politically expedient in times of crisis or election, but it requires a fine balance to keep it in check given the necessity of this labor source.<br />
Religious differences make more personal tragedies for those from countries with conservative values untenable in Moscow. Maintaining a traditional central Asian family structure is difficult for the constantly moving migrants. For the many women migrants a child born in Moscow can mean the end of employment. To return home risks being an outcast since the children are often born out of wedlock, unforgivable in local custom, so abandonment is frequent. I visited a hospice for single migrant mothers, in a partially finished commercial building on the outskirts of the capital. Even in this rare outpost of charity there is resentment – the well-educated doctors of the clinic asked me “why should we look after them, teach them and their children, when we often refuse other residents of the same suburb.”<br />
Keeping this source of labor flowing over the coming years is imperative for Russia, but for the present authorities it is not convenient to address, or convenient to not address the problem of rights. Despite the problems the trains keep on arriving, filled with “them”.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">The Nenets tribespeople of Russia&#8217;s frozen Yamal peninsula have survived the age of the Tsars, the Bolshevik revolution and the chaotic 1990s, but now confront their biggest challenge &#8212; under their fur-bundled feet is enough gas to heat the world for five years. Numbering around 42,000, the Nenets are entirely dependent on reindeer, which appear on the Yamal region&#8217;s crest, and are animists. Their strict code of superstitions and gender divisions has been virtually untouched for at least a millennium. Nenets migrate north to south over 150 km every year, spending only a few days in one place, living off reindeer and fish and lugging their &#8220;chums&#8221;, or tents, kerosene lamps and wood-fired stoves on reindeer-pulled sleighs.<br />
Experts and the Nenets say industry will damage and pollute the tundra, whose flat marshy terrain switches from marigold russets in summer to thick winter snow and is peppered with disc-like thermokarst lakes and crystal blue waterways. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black;"><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My two-weeks length embed with “Dustoff” Medevac team, C Company, 1-214 Aviation Regiment, 101st Combat Aviation Brigade, based at Camp Dwyer in Afghanistan&#8217;s war-torn Helmand Province is over. But I’ve been still looking around trying to find my two-way radio. I haven’t heard “Medevac, Medevac, Medevac” call signs for a long time already. Those calls mean that something bad has happened. Created in the 70th to airlift casualties from battlefield Dustoff still exists. The legend says, when the US army deployed the 57th Medical Detachment to Vietnam in 1962, they were given the radio call sign Dustoff. The main idea of its existing hasn’t changed. But in Afghanistan over 70% of Medevac missions are to pick up Afghans, be they civilians, soldiers or even militants. In country where life costs nothing and every forth child dies before reaches five their attempt to improve statistic and help every wounded or diseased looks utopian but so humanity. As Sergeant Farrell said to me: &#8220;We try to do all we can.” And they can do a lot, indeed.

Дневник на русском <span id="more-515"></span><br />
31.03.11 Благополучно добрался до Кандагара и впервые увидел часть, следующие две недели проведу с которой. Подразделение Dustoff занимается, в том числе, эвакуацией раненых в южной части Афганистана. Через пару дней обещают много интересного.<br />
04.04.11 Пара дней явно затянулись. Сегодняшний рейс в провинцию Helmand на передовую базу Dwyer, на которой я и должен находиться до конца командировки, перенесли на завтра. На ней так же находятся части Dustoff, но работы там куда больше. Причиной задержки, может быть вполне, поднявшийся ветер и если он усилится и поднимет песок, то вероятнее всего, военную 30ти тысячную базу неподалеку от Кандагара обстреляют ракетами, типа Катюша. Говорят, талибы всегда пользуются непогодой. Здесь же, вчерашний день прошел за транспортировкой гражданских, двух братьев и взрослого, подстреленных на митинге против сожжения Корана во Флориде. Невезучие братья, оба ранены и оба в ноги. Военные медики занимаются, в том числе, транспортировкой гражданских лиц. Подходят к этому со всей ответственностью, передавая пострадавших местным врачам долго их консультируют о процедурах выполненных на борту вертолета.<br />
06.04.11 Четыре Medevac вертолета и столько же Сhase (прикрывающий) вертолета, меняясь каждые 24 часа, готовы вылететь уже через 5 минут после позывных в рации Medevac! Medevac! Medevac!. Этих слов жду и я, не в том смысле, что желаю их слышать как можно чаще, а в том смысле, что нужно нестись к тому, что на дежурстве, бронежилет все сутки находится в нем, иначе не добежишь. Когда это происходит два, три раза в день, то день проходит быстро. Ждать мне что-то, совсем тяжело.<br />
Согласно Женевской конвенции медицинский вертолет не имеет вооружения на борту, кроме того что у экипажа, так что Chase следуют за ним тенью. Одним словом, я в Camp Dwyer, в провинции Helmand, всего то, часом лету от Кандагара. Весь этот час летели над красной пустыней, жизнь только вдоль реки, она и есть самое опасное место. Исторически юго-восток Афганистана, родина Талибана, и жизнь не сильно изменилась с тех пор как они потеряли власть. В садах у афганцев цветут мак и тюльпаны, с высоты выглядит сказочно. Мальчишки швыряют камни, но высоко, как попасть. Сказка, конечно, только с высоты. Пока я не видел такой картинки, ну как в фильмах, солдаты бегут в пыли к вертушке их ожидающей, и все это накрыто тенью от Chase что сверху. Может, и не увижу, осталось то 10 дней. Пока вот что есть, то есть. Привет.<br />
07.04.11 Случилась песчаная буря. Вечером правда случилась, никогда такого не видел. Выглядит как туман на фотографиях, но хлещет песчинками по лицу так, что по ветру стоять невозможно. Кинулись к вертолетам закрывать двери, а в десяти метрах уже ничего не видно. Удивительное зрелище. Еще и дождь пошел.<br />
10.04.11 Вчера забирали ребенка, предположительно с анемией, в критическом состоянии был. Крохотный, на носилках его даже не было видно. Забирали с Camp Bastion куда его привезла такая же вертушка что наша, потом почти час везли его в военную больницу в Camp Dwyer. По очереди медик и командир экипажа вентилировали ему легкие. Отец, как то, безучастно наблюдал. В стране, где жизнь недорого стоит, где каждый четвертый ребенок умирает от полиомиелита, кори, а чаще от обычной диареи не достигнув и пяти лет, вчерашний поступок выглядел как борьба с ветряными мельницами, но это было так круто. Командир экипажа Винси, классный такой мужик, двадцать лет уже служит, ответил, прочитав вопрос в моих глазах, что они делают все что могут. Перевозят гражданских, если есть такая возможность. Возможность, как правило, есть, потому что, они ее создают. Это тебе не русских раненых перевозить из соседнего грузинского села в кузове грузовика забитым запасными шинами в течении трех часов под их стоны на каждой кочке в столицу частично признанной республики Ю. Осетия.<br />
Почему нет на карточках раненых пехотинцев? Расскажу про ограничения в распространении фотографий в следующий раз.<br />
13.04.11 День начали с того что полетели за парнем, которого побил осел, так во всяком, случае смеясь доложил медик. Не побил, конечно, но увечил сильно. Самое время домой собираться. Как раз завтра последний день и есть.<br />
Так вот про запреты. Любая командировка в войска НАТО подразумевает полное выполнение правил, названных Ground Rules. Это, как правило, всегда усложняет работу, хотя, разумеется, они нужны. Так, например, я ночь не спал, осознав, что послал фотографии раненого Талиба с частично узнаваемым лицом. Строго запрещено слать фотографии раненых солдат, а не дай Бог убитых с узнаваемыми лицами. Более того даже если их лиц нет, но есть лица его сослуживцев, то слать запрещено также. В смысле, можно, но только после того как офицер из службы по связям с общественностью, разрешит их к публикации. Обычно это занимает несколько дней. Казалось бы, все прекрасно, армия заботится о родных раненых солдат, соблюдает международные нормы касательно пленных. Но грань слишком тонкая. Что считать узнаваемым лицом, а что нет? Вот считается, если глаза закрыты повязкой, значит лицо неузнаваемо. Но очевидно, любая мать узнает сына по губам, форме головы, ушам и так далее. А если татуировки, кольца на руках? Лучше от греха подальше не слать вовсе. Наказание за несоблюдение правил слишком серьезное, лишение аккредитации и отказ в будущих попытках аккредитацию получить. У того талиба еще и пальца не оказалось на руке, как я потом вглядевшись в фотографию обнаружил. Прошел на грани, одним словом, но нервов стоило много.<br />
16.04.11 Пока жду своего рейса домой редактирую фотографии стрингеров в нашем офисе в Кабуле. Здесь гораздо прохладнее и дождливо. Зато вишня цветет за окном.<br />
Получил письмо от командущего авиационным полка, куда входит Dustoff. Там просто написано спасибо за освещение их работы, но это так приятно, даже представить себе сложно.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>История про то, как траурные мероприятия по убитому в уличной драке фанату Спартака Егору Свиридову переросли в массовю драку на Манежной площади. Застрелили его из травматического пистолета, как бы, люди с Кавказа, что дало повод фанатам разных футбольных клубов и правой молодежи избивать всех встречных, непохожих на русских. Я много раз слышал от людей из Средней Азии, работающих или работавших (есть и такие) в России о том как их грабят, избивая в поездах, идущих сюда, какое это, иногда, счастье, когда спустившись в метро, там, вдруг, не оказывается ментов, и какая это удача - не быть избитым при очередном рейде ОМОНа на места их ночлежек или быть убитым в каком-нибудь спальном районе отморозками, у которых ж..а вместо головы. После субботы, кажется, охота на нерусских входит в тренд и я, с ужасом, ожидаю, что, когда-нибудь, мы (конкретно я, славянской внешности) станем мишенью в их, пока еще, гостеприимных странах. Пока, я не видел ни одного презрительного взгляда ни в одной из стран с окончанием на стан, и я, искренне, желаю им скорейшего экономическо-социального процветания. А пока, даже такая дикая Россия кажется им сильно лучше своей родины.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: RU; mso-fareast-language: RU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 11pt;">The residents of Muslyumovo village in Russia&#8217;s Urals are convinced that they were “lab rats.” Their village was the only one on the Techa river to be exposed to radiation three times and not resettled. The Muslyumovo population was exposed to combined external and internal radiation. The sources of internal radiation were radionuclides entering the body with river water and products of local production. The main dose-forming radionuclide was Sr90, which was accumulated and held in bone tissue for a long time. From 1949 to 1956 the secret Mayak nuclear complex, 30 km from Muslyumovo, dumped 76 million cubic metres of highly radioactive waste into the river. The last big accident registered at Mayak was in 1967, when the Karachai reservoir, used to store waste, partially evaporated after a dry, hot summer. Strong winds dispersed clouds of radioactive dust over a vast area. Today Mayak is steel working and reprocesses foreign SNF releasing a great volume of liquid radioactive wastes into the environment.<br />
Radiation levels along the river banks are still far above natural levels. In parts, levels are more than 500 times above global safety limits. The ecologists and experts consider the revealing of genetic abnormalities to be the consequence of living with high background radioactivity.<br />
Several villages along the river were resettled in the 1950s, but the mainly Tatar village of Muslyumovo was started to remove  in 2006. Officials say government is giving a gift to the people by moving them to new homes (just in 2 kms away from their old houses), but not all of them. Dozens of them willl have to stay there because of bureaucratic problems, corruption in local government and their own poverty. They live, fight, despair, fight again, die.</span></span><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Russian Prime Minister Putin occupied the nation’s TV screens while reports of his bravado in fighting forest wildfires littered the media. The rest of the country were dead on their feet, choking with smoke as they fought the disaster. Unable to depend upon Putin, government authority or new luxury equipment for assistance, locals grew weary as they defended their houses using an arsenal of tractors, farm equipment and shovels.<br />
Some relied on their prayers. A priest blessed firefighters in the village of Berestyanka before they continued on. Local residents conducted religious services asking God for rain to prevent new wildfires like the one that partially destroyed the village of Kriusha on August 5. About one hundred people, mostly elderly women, knelt asking God to forgive their sins. They then followed an Orthodox priest during a procession through the village. As they walked, the procession appeared to dissolve into heavy white smog, which had shrouded the settlement. Only their prayers were heard. These words drifted out from behind the screen of smoke “You, God Almighty, ask for our houses, people living there and property inside: bless, sanctify with a holy cross, save us from fire.” The local church was burnt. Though residents could only meet with the priest once a week, they still believe and trust in God.<br />
