Nature defenders declared war on developers

On the night of April 9, in Yasenev, at the site of point development, they burned a drill crane (frame from video shooting) Gerila against the seals. Environmental radicals, desperate to protect parks and ponds peacefully, declared war on builders and destroyed equipment-tractors, excavators, cranes. The next video , the next video appeared on the website of the ecologists anarchists on April 10 on April 10 on April 10 on April 10 on April 10 on April 10 on April 10. On it is a burning drill crane, things are happening at night at a construction site in Yasenev. After the video, there is a detailed description of a really unpleasant story, as in a brief period of the Moscow interweaving, when Yuri Luzhkov has already been removed from his post, and Sergei Sobyanin was not yet approved, the foreign intelligence service began to build high -rise buildings for its employees on the site of playgrounds and garages. In unnatural proximity to other residential buildings and very next to the infamous “Transvaal Park”, the collapsing roof of which buried three dozen people in 2004. The Luzhkovskaya administration gave permission to build this house in August 2004 - less than six months after the tragedy in the water park. But there were no mandatory public hearings on the project, and for the residents the beginning of construction became a big surprise.

This is far from the first video. From the news feed of the same site:

“On March 15, human life was saved in the Minsk highway. The dump truck was discovered by the Iron Friend, who had fallen in his “iron friend” in the vicinity of the places of destruction of nature a minute before the placement of an incendiary device by car. ” When expanding the Minsk highway, dozens of square kilometers of the forest are determined under the saw.

“The burning of tractors in Opalikha near Lesnoy Lake continues. On the night of December 29 to 30, 2010, we decided to congratulate our "acquaintances" developers on the upcoming New Year, throwing the next tractor with Molotov cocktails. " Residents of Krasnogorsk are used to spending a summer weekend on the forest shore, where trees are now chopped and elite cottages are being built.

“On November 15, the builders of the roads through the Tsagovsky forest in Zhukovsky decided to resume work right during the rally in defense of the forest, which gathered caring residents of the city. In conversations with ecologists and journalists, workers, not embarrassed, stated that they were going to finish (kill the forest) in two weeks. Now they do not have an excavator - he burned on the night of November 15 to 16. Neither the spotlight nor the guards helped them. ” Zhukovsky forest - the second most famous building conflict in the suburbs after Himok.

The war of the anonymous on the BlackBlocg.info reports about the arson of construction equipment in Moscow and the region appear the last year on average once every three weeks. They are adjacent to news about the arson of Sberbank branches (which issued a loan for the construction of the Moscow -Petersburg highway), the military enlistment offices, and the hosts of United Russia. The administrator of this extremist portal by e-mail told The New Times, why he is fighting with building corporations: “You know, the forest in which I walked and collected mushrooms with relatives that was some kind of mysterious and magical for me-it no longer exists, it is exterminated during the poaching materials for the sake of building materials for luxurious luxurious luxurious luxurious ones Cottages and to save on the transportation of these building materials. It is very painful to see how the not so numerous corners of nature that they were still preserved in our region and with which many managed to be peaceful, destroyed without any need - for the needs of the hedonists, for the profit of construction capitalists and greeders to bribes of officials ”

Environmentalists are trying to block the technique of felled trees at the place of construction of the highway through the Khimki forest
Pavel Chernyshev, an expert of Commercial Real Estate, says that construction companies do not consider “environmental extremism” as a significant threat to themselves. Most of the capital's development market is occupied by large corporations, for which the loss of an excavator, even a million rubles, is not a tragedy. Although small sections are involved in small sections, and such attacks can significantly damage their work. Often, companies are not interested in giving such public stories: firstly, these are image losses, and secondly, the visits of the police and checking services for the owners are undesirable. At any construction site in Moscow, it is easy to find so many diverse violations that such visits often spill for the builders in serious expenses for “gifts” to the inspectors.

The radicalization of citizens “There is a civil war for the forest. Moreover, the authorities, officials have advantages in all positions, ”says an elderly woman, who has been struggling for a favorable environmental environment in Troitsk, who has been struggling for two decades. It can be understood. Environmental legislation in Russia is extremely confused, it is very vaguely spelled out, which official specifically answers, what and where it is possible and what cannot be built.

The New Times said in the Archnadzor movement that, according to their estimates, residents manage to legally defeat developers only somewhere in a quarter of conflicts. And this is still a good situation - a few years ago the successes were more modest. In the Moscow Council - another organization fighting for the living space of Muscovites - also speak of the success of 20–25% of residents' protests. Moreover, it is really possible to achieve something only at the stage when the project is only discussed when the construction is already started, the company is unlikely to be backward.

Acts of despair of residents expressed in the nightrs of construction equipment are laid out on YouTube, some get into the media, the consequences of the third are photographed by ecologists, visiting conflict facilities. The phenomenon of eco -partisanism is not limited to the metropolitan region. Sochi has repeatedly received information about the destruction of lumberjacks from the Olympic construction projects. In St. Petersburg, car owners burned excavators who demolished the garage cooperative "Parnassus". In Chita, the situation is more intense. Dmitry Gudkov, the leader of the youth “Fair Russia”, placed a small video on his blog about how Chitins shoot “black lumberjacks” - those who barbarously chop the taiga.

Vladimir Putin recently stated that 15% of the country's territory is environmentally dysfunctional. The Prime Minister, as you know, is not inclined to overestimate the scale of problems, rather the opposite. So in environmental conflicts all prospects to become detonators of social clashes.
