The governor of the Altai Republic, Alexander Berdnikov, promised to punish environmental polluters with the help of shamans and forest spirits. this He reported on his blog.

The head of the region proposed installing signs in popular tourist places that would inform about the sanctity of these lands, and also tell about the rules of behavior. “We will attract shamans and mountain spirits to our side so that we punish those who do not care about this land, including guests, excuse me” (spelling and punctuation are the author’s - Lenta.ru), Berdnikov said. The head of the region did not talk in more detail about cooperation with shamans and spirits.

The governor noted that every year the nature of Altai is polluted more and more. According to him, most of the garbage is brought in by tourists, but local residents also “make their contribution.” Berdnikov promised to keep cleanliness in the region under control, saying that improvement should become a “national task” in the Altai Republic.

According to Berdnikov, everyone must maintain order: officials, businessmen, and ordinary citizens. In the near future, the head of the region is going to hold a cleanup day to clean up the areas along the Chuysky tract. Berdnikov promised to personally participate in the event.

This is not the first time that the Altai governor has paid attention to the environment. Previously, he proposed introducing environmentally friendly Altai honey into the daily diet of local schoolchildren. Rospotrebnadzor called this idea very useful, but difficult to implement. As the department calculated, in order to feed Altai schoolchildren with honey every day, 53 million rubles per year are needed.
