In photographs and videos - guys in unusual, characteristic of Old Believers, roasters and with guns in their hands. In the appearance of the boys are minors. On some frames - obviously, drunk and communicate with the help of strong words. On others - they aim at each other from guns. Who gave the teenagers a firearm and let go to the taiga for hunting, a separate conversation. But most of all questions to personnel, presumably confirming not just poaching, but children's poaching in the National Park.
Help "New"
The Old Believers lived separately in the territory of modern Northern Primorye until the 30s. Some left immediately after the revolution and the Civil War, but the community was finally destroyed after the 1932 anti -colle rebellion. The Soviet government suppressed the rebellion, hundreds of people were under trial and were shot, the remaining sea fled first in Manzhou-Go (the state in Manchuria, controlled by Japan). And in the mid-50s, on the ships of the Red Cross, they parted around the world-many to Latin America. They conducted agriculture there, they still lived as a “recluse”. And in 2009, families began to return to the small homeland, to Primorye. We settled in several places - but for the most part they chose a small taiga village of Dersu in the Krasnoarmeysky district. Now Dersu, or the old way-Laul, is inhabited by almost completely Old Believers.
Since the Old Believers are the best illustration of the success of the program to relocate compatriots, the authorities of all ranks love them, relatively often visit them, and in every possible way contribute to their undertakings. And, apparently, a lot is lowered. They simplified the procedure for obtaining citizenship - now they do not need to confirm the knowledge of the Russian language, knowledge of the history and laws of Russia, only the written request of the Metropolitan of the Moscow and All Rus' of the Russian Orthodox Orthodox Church is required to the head of the territorial body of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
They gave hundreds of hectares of land, helped to take equipment and enter different state support programs.
It is important to know that the village of Dersu is located on the territory of the Udege Legend National Park. This is a specially protected natural area of federal significance with very strict rules. Hunting here is strictly prohibited, including people living in villages near the territory of the National Park.
Judging by the Time Codes, at least three times a young member of the Old Believers shot the Semi Semi-roe deer-June 28, July 14 and August 4, 2021 (at that time, hunting for them in the territory of the entire region is closed, roe deer grow up babies).
The shooter poses near the murdered animal and even triggers a bloodied carcass on his shoulders.

“Kopets torn, damn it. What a hole, ”the operator commented on the scenes, showing a freshened roe deer. “The leg was torn off.”
In another photograph - August 6 - the same "hunter" poses with a shot one year -old cub of the Himalayan bear. A specially protected view in the territory of the national park, by the way. In the video, a teenager with a gun is kept to finish the beast with a control shot. It fluctuates - there are not enough cartridges.
“Come on to the head! Come on the control. "
"He breathes, move his ears!" - the guy answers, without shooting.
“Syrian, come on the control jam? And if it turns back? <...> How many cartridges? "
“I charged a joke,” the boy justifies, saying that there are no cartridges in the reserve.
They approach the beast, poke it from afar with a barrel of a gun. And making sure that he was definitely dead, they turn the camera, showing where the car is standing (due to thick vegetation it is not visible).

"Throw it faster, load to the elders!" - commands one of the guys. And after three minutes, the dead bear is taken by the ear and thrown away from the slope. To make the carcass more cheerful, they kick. And below, a bear with a bloodied triangle on the chest is already met by the "elders" in a white jeep.
By the way, they say, that the Old Believers do not eat bear cub (in general, the meat is edible, but they cannot be eaten by a hare, a wolf, a horse, a bear and some other animals in religion).
So in this case they kill, rather, either from entertainment, or out of benefit - for sale. The Chinese are especially appreciated by the derivatives, but many people consider the skins for chic to decorate the interior.
Recently, part of the video frames, albeit with smeared faces, appeared in one of the large telegram channels of Primorye. Law enforcement agencies (which usually do not miss such things) and government representatives do not respond to information. They say that such problems with Old Believers are not uncommon. And here's the question: what turns out to be stronger - federal anti -coloronier laws, coupled with unequivocal evidence of guilt, or propaganda need to talk about returning to Russia?
