"Now you will not enter the forest"

Michael is a forester with 15 years of experience. He got a job to work in the Zanarsky forestry - a hundred kilometers south of Moscow - immediately after the technical school, but after recognition of forestry unprofitable and reducing almost the entire state, he was forced to earn extra money and breed the bird, like other former foresters of the village.

"When I got a job in the 93rd year, 46 people worked in forestry: 14 lesnikov, assistant, forester, 2 craftsmen, accountant, three brigades ... We bred bulls, there was a cattle yard. In 2008, Putin said that the forestry was unprofitable, everything was closed and left all outside. There were only 10-15 people-one person in the office. Now not in the forest at all in the forest. You’ll come in. "
