Bark beetles in uniform

A small regional television company in Khakassia has been fighting illegal cedar logging in the Tashtyp district of Khakassia for about two months. Despite threats to journalists. Endless attacks on the founder - deputy of the Supreme Council of Khakassia Yuri Kistanov. We help the small but proud and freedom-loving television company as much as we can. For which they have already received accusations of political order.

And cedar, under the cover of a bark beetle invasion, is cut down and sold. Moreover, the authorities explain the sudden hordes of bark beetles as an “ecological disaster.” Only the “catastrophe” is very strange. In the entire Tashtyp taiga, it happened only in one place - where cedar grows. There are no more bark beetles anywhere in the taiga. Cutting down and selling cedar trees costs hundreds of millions of rubles. Yes, for that kind of money, the swindlers from the local authorities will chew the bark themselves at night.

The entire local power vertical is against TV-Abaza: the court media (unfortunately, 99 percent). And against the founder are Rosprirodnadzor, Rostechnadzor and the Khakass Ministry of Internal Affairs. Today, six operatives of the Department of Economic Crimes with a guard armed with machine guns (apparently, riot police) rolled into the editorial office of the television company. The economic crime fighters told the television company that they would check the legality of installing the software on the editorial office’s computers. Journalists and technical staff were harshly driven away from their computers at gunpoint. The police company is headed by the head of the Department of Internal Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Khakassia, Sergei Romashov. He is very surprised that licensed operating systems and programs are installed on the television company’s computers. Journalists say that he is now calling his bosses in the government and asking what he should do.

Of course, it won’t be difficult for the Khakassian authorities to crush the TV people. If you don’t stand up for them (I sense that we will soon need it too). I beg you to help me. They'll run over the guys.
