"Emergencies, where are you?!" Anapa residents demand urgently send help
The inhabitants of Anapa and volunteers who came to the Krasnodar Territory help to remove the fuel oil because of the sunken tankers (one of them, attributed to the port of St. Petersburg, literally broke in half), writes outraged posts and videos: there are no equipment and rescuers promised by the authorities. As a result, the results of the labor of volunteers were destroyed: bags, which were never taken out by equipment, carried away to sea. Officials ignore their requirements to introduce regional emergency situations, publishing joyful posts about the "successes of voluntary assistants."
“There are no 5 thousand rescuers, there are no equipment - our whole work eventually floats back into the sea,” the volunteers are indignant.
"Nobody saw, no one knew! Thank you!"
On December 23, volunteers, cleaning the beaches of Anapa, recorded a video message to Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mishustin demanding to attract the most possible forces and means for eliminating pollution, as well as introduce regional or federal emergencies.

0:00 0:03:34All their work was wasted: the equipment promised by the authorities did not come, the bags collected by volunteers with fuel oil remained in the storm on the shore, and then sailed into the sea.
- Many ordinary people from different parts of Russia responded and came to help, risking their health (fuel oil pairs are harmful to humans, and there are already several cases of poisoning among volunteers) and not sparing time, for which they were low. The forces of the rescuers who are attracted now are clearly not enough. We need technique and special equipment (respirators, gloves, glasses, etc.) in places, KamAZ and bulldozers, in order to rather remove the arriving fuel oil. It is necessary to prevent the spread of fuel oil further. We also need premises in which there are conditions for helping birds! - Maxim lists the volunteer and is no longer restrained, shouts: - EMERCOM, where are you?! Where are experts from the petrochemical industry who are versed in the technology of eliminating such accidents? We do not ask, we demand to pay special attention to this problem!
The day before, the residents of Anapa created a similar petition demanding to introduce the regime of emergencies of the regional level, it was signed by almost 80 thousand people. But there was no help, and no.
On one of the last videos of the blogger Dmitry Walter from Anapa shows how torn bags with fuel oil in the sand on the coast - on the eve of the storm carried the weekly work of volunteers to sea. There were not enough private equipment at the export of hundreds of bags, the authorities promised to send help.
- I wrote a video with a request to drive equipment two days ago, when the storm was predicted only. 6 thousand views were. Nobody [officials respond] did not see, no one knew! 500 thousand equipment "drove"! "Thank you" bl ***! - the blogger is indignant, removing bags of fuel oil, half drowned in the sand.
Volunteers confirm that there are catastrophically lack of special equipment at the location of the accident. However, officials report that "everything is in order."
- Well, they praise us, like well done volunteers. It’s not for the sake of their praise to clean up the fuel oils to come here, we breathe poisonous pairs. We do this to save nature at least a little. As a result, they [officials] lie that “everything is fine, everything is enough”, and because of their misinformation, the assembled fuel oil is not exported on time. It took part of the bags into the sea, turned off, some carried back to the shore - as a result, the fuel oil, leaking through the bags, went into the coastal sand, some settled into the sea, - explains the volunteer Nikita.
-Some kind of paradox. A minute ago you were shown on the TV TV how the country throws billions on the "hazel" and another military shit. And then you come and see that they rake an eco -catastrof with the forces of volunteers. And what? Shovels! - says another volunteer Sergey, working on the shore near the village of Kholmskaya.
His friend Dmitry removes the fuel oil on the beach in Dzhemeta. Special equipment there still arrived there, but “helped” so that it only got worse.
- The next day we returned to the beach in the morning, and they simply drove through the beach with bulldozers, turning bags of fuel oil and imprinting it deeper into the sand even deeper. It would not be better helped than that, ”Dmitry sighs. - The volunteer from our team, looking at this spectacle, said: “We had to write the word Navalny from the fuel oil, and tomorrow the bags would not only take it out, but they also brought new sand!” Another volunteer replied that, they say, in the word “Navalny” there are too many letters: “You could just write the“ world. ”Well, that, they torn and went again [fuel oil] to collect ...
Especially people are outraged that the lies of officials deprives their help.
-The fuel oil continues to arrive on the coast, it is already falling asleep with sand, and it is absorbed and turns into a sand-fabric pie. Birds continue to die. And we, ordinary citizens, try to cope on our own, remove the fuel oil in the bags in the bags that corrodes, and they flow again. There are still few techniques (and then thanks to private traders), the emergency mode in the region has not yet been introduced! And our governor reports to the president in a direct line that he finds himself “grouped 4,000 volunteers” and refuses to help (!), The obviously downplayed scale of the disaster! He lies in order not to get a hat and report that "the year has ended smoothly, without incident," says Volunteer Maxim. “But we see what is happening.” And there is inaction from the authorities! Why then do we need such a governor? Why do we pay taxes? Apparently, in order to collect this fuel oil, risking with his health with his hands alone ... In the end, instead of being together with the people, making decisions and saving the edge from the tragedy there on the beaches, he [the Governor of the Krasnodar Territory Benjamin Kondratyev] defiantly dirty in fuel oil on the camera, sits for several hours in the headquarters and leaves to decorate the Christmas tree in Moscow. Disgrace! And after all, not one captain of the vessel [is to blame], he not only overloaded him with 100 tons! Who generally allowed the output of the ship half a century ago?! In December, in a 6-point storm! "Rosneft", taking advantage of its influence, also [to blame], went forward in line, letting her ships.
Other volunteers from among the inhabitants of the village of Kholmskaya say that even those bags that managed to take away from the beach were collected far from the safest place.
- From the bags everything flows. Nearby, the Zybza river, which flows into the Kryukovskoye reservoir, and it, in turn, supplies the Seversky and Abinsky districts with water, the residents of Kholmskaya reported on the video from the local training ground. - This disaster is removed from Anapa and safely transferred to other areas. Out of sight, as they say. Not all local people know about this place where the mazuts are taken.
"2-3 days left!"
Zoactivists say that the situation with animals and birds also becomes worse - the number of dead is growing. If immediately after the leak that occurred on December 15 in the Kerch Strait, the fuel oil was thrown out by waves to the beaches of Anapa, then a few days later a similar emission occurred in the Crimea-on the Kerch Peninsula in the area of Cape Zmein and the Yeni-Kale fortress.
- If in the early days there was one dead dolphin, now they have already found 11! We warned that the sea would endure the sea, the dead marine animals, fish, in fact, is already much larger. And there are already more than a hundred birds of the dead. They [birds] really left 2-3 days to get to them and wash, clean them. They will not stand longer! - says Volunteer Katerina. - The situation only worsens, but instead of a flurry of help, as it was in the early days, we see a decrease in calls and visits. The authorities of the Krasnodar Territory publish photos with clean beaches, although the real situation is much worse. People look at the photo of one cleaned beach and do not go, there are no rescuers either, as a result, a vicious circle is inconsistent.
The Delphi Delphi Delphins Salvation Center impartially leads the numbers how the number of dead is growing.
- One dead Azovka (Azov Dolphin) in the village of Blagoveshchenskaya. Her death came a few days ago. In Novorossiysk in Aleksino (60–70 km from Anapa) today, eyewitnesses were discovered 8 (!!!) fresh ties of the azovka: six on the shore, two in the water. Photo and video materials confirmed the seven dead. This is a massive emission, - the zoo defenders list. - The release is considered mass, provided that at least 2 kit -like (not a couple of mother+cub) were thrown out in one place and at the same time. In the coastal territory of the Krasnodar Territory, such cases are extremely rare. This is an extremely alarming situation! Our volunteers examined 5 azovka (the rest were carried away with a storm). These are 2 females, 2 males, 1 male cub. Filled, without skin lesions, traces of networks and fuel oil. Two females have blood, foam in the throat and breath. The causes of death can be acute intoxication (in pairs of fuel oil, poisoned by fish/water), acute infection, internal injuries/shells. An investigation is necessary to clarify the exact causes of death.
Activists evaluate death carefully, but it is obvious that the priority version is a spill of fuel oil.
“During the emergency, a protocol of joint actions is needed,” the Delphi zoactivists recall. - In total, from December 15, 2024 (from the moment of emergency) to December 22, 10 azovka were recorded, the cause of the death of which may be spill fuel oil.
"Waves will be 5 meters"
Now many experts believe that the coast will not save even regional emergencies - it is necessary to introduce a federal level.
- Anapa for various decisions and orders of the federal resort. Our Anapa deputies raise this topic almost every year and try to settle all the legal wires in order to consolidate this by law. The bottom line is that it is time to introduce a federal level emergency mode. Today's storm will make a fuel oil pie not 30 centimeters, but at 50! There is more equipment, there is no time to build up, ”the volunteers say.
At the same time, environmentalists notice, the collection of petroleum products at sea not only did not start-there are still tankers that are not taken away, despite the predicted storm.
- You will be surprised, but right now, Volgonft's tankers continue to work in the Black and Azov Seas as if nothing had happened! I have found two by BalticShipping.com and on Marinetraffic.com, but there may be more. Anyone can check and see where these tankers are now located, ”says the ecologist, who asked not to indicate his last name. -"Volgonft-266", he recently left Kerch and is now in the Sea of Azov to the north of the Taman Peninsula. The tanker was built in 1978, he is 46 years old. And "Volgonft-267", he recently left the mouth of the Don and vigorously walks along the Azov sea to the south, and the appointment of the Caucasus. Obviously, he is lucky. He is lucky. He is lucky. 1979, he will remind him, for tankers, the age of the transition to old age is 25 years.
The situation may be repeated, since both of these Volgonft tankers were built according to similar projects, as well as ships, which fell on December 15.
- Both are registered in the Russian river register (like those that have already collapsed). Both for many years. That is, they are all the same and about the same age, ”the expert continues. -Now we know for sure that the dead tankers "Volgonft-212" and "Volgonft-239" River Register forbade the sea to go to sea after November 30. But they were there, and on December 15 they broke into pieces. Therefore, a logical question: what seasonal restriction is established for Volgonfti-266 and Volgonfti-267, which are even now in the stormy sea?! It is logical that the register also limited them the time of swimming on the same on November 30.
