Novokuznetsk environmental activists of Vladimir Gorenkov and Nikolai Metalnikov were questioned as witnesses in the case of arson of coal miners. They and another social activist Sergei Sheremetyev were detained without explanation on the morning of August 29, now everyone is free.
But Gorenkov believes that “the order will be completed to the end” and they will all be imprisoned either immediately or in turn. He told about this in an interview with NK-TV.
“What will be the danger to the authorities? Maybe they will put some, and others fell silent, ”said Gorenkov. - And maybe vice versa. They play a little with fire. There may also be a variant of Donbass. <...> At the very beginning, I said to the authorities: "Do not let Kuzbass turn into Donbass, you never know what can begin here." They are all: “What will you start here ... We are here ... You will all sit exactly.” And now, you see that they are digging us-out, deprive us of the last ply of the Earth. ”

According to Gorenkov, mowing and pastures brought from the border of the village in which he lives. Moreover, the land of the settlements themselves partially turned out to be reserved for the needs of sections.
“We thought that on the border of the village they put [the border of the cuts], but it turns out that many in the villages are already [partially] land belonging to cuts. The deputies of our Zagorsky rural settlement once once adopted [such a decision], Gorenkov found out. - How did you accept? They came to one deputy, he says: “They called us, well, sign up for this - the tractor worked there” and they signed as fools. Well, we are peasants, it’s easy to deceive us. We are closer to God, closer to nature, far from all their cups. And so all the lands were heard. In principle, our lands are not in principle. ”
The activist recalled that in 2017, then Governor Aman Tuleyev called for reducing coal production to 200 million tons per year: “This is an ecological limit.” He asked the Siberian envoy to the President of the Russian Federation Sergey Chanipo to convey the position to Moscow. At the end of 2018, the regional authorities announced an increase in production to 280 million tons by 2021.
“Question, where should we live? This question was asked by the Sobrovtsy (who detained Gorenkov on August 29 - approx. Taiga. Info) , he said. - I say: “Guys, on those dumps and you will live. True, I don’t know who it will protect on these dumps, because there is dead earth, radiation, birds do not fly, there are no water, the earth will not give birth to 5 thousand years. What you will eat is not clear what you will drink is incomprehensible. How will you live? Well, think of whom you are protecting, for which you are fighting. ”
According to Gorenkov’s memoirs, after his words, the employees of the collection were “sad eyes”. He believes that the head of the Novokuznetsk district Andrei Sharnin (“United Russia”) set the task to the coal holders “to crush wrestlers” to fulfill a plan for coal mining.
