Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has won the competition for the title of "Enemy of the lake" by a wide margin by typing in the Internet voting more than 50% of the vote. Next, position the unit of government (10%) and the Ministry of Environment (8%). Behind them is an unexpected nominee - "We - the Russian people." This nomination came after numerous requests to vote and ahead of former owner BPPM Oleg Deripaska.

"It is surprising a lot of people pay attention to the root causes of this problem. At the same time they talk about responsibility in the broadest sense of the word: "Ultimately, the responsibility for environmental problems is on us," - said the head of the Baikal Greenpeace Russia Roman Vazhenkov. - A lot, if not everything, depends precisely on how we act every day, as far as we are active and principled. As far as we are ready to think about the nature of our country, rather than passively allow officials and businesses use it ».

In commemoration of the completion of the contest, Greenpeace found at the bottom of Lake Baikal at the pipe pouring poison BPPM drains into the lake, a sign with the names of the first three holders of "Gold Mite."



"We know that Vladimir Putin - prepared by a diver and not just down to the bottom of Lake Baikal in the apparatus" Mir ", and it would be just wonderful if he decided to dismantle the plate - as unnecessary, while showing everything from the pipe BPPM nothing It does not flow. Very little is needed for this - the goodwill and responsibility "," - he added to the end of Roman Vazhenkov. Awards: "Golden tick" letters and a photo album "The phenomenon of Baikal" - Greenpeace plans to deliver in some way to each finalist.

In fairness it should be noted that the problem is dangerous for the environment of the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill discussed the location of the unfortunate in our country for several decades. Back in 1969 (!) When the current Greenpeace activists have not been born in the Soviet Union had a wide resonance film "The Lake", filmed the patriarch of Soviet cinema, Sergei Gerasimov with Vasily Shukshin, Natalia Bondarchuk, Nikolai Eremenko and other stars of those years . The film was devoted specifically to the fate of the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill and not campaigned for the preservation of this dangerous production. Since then, several generations of activists continue to try to "plug the pipe," and the same number of generations officials nod, promise ... and do nothing. The pipe mill quietly merges into a unique natural object of their waste.

That is why the party leadership race "Golden ticks", ranked No. 4, could well rise above ... Which, of course, does not negate the responsibility of the executive power over the fate of the great lakes of Russia.



According to information disseminated by Greenpeace Russia, the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill is not too needs the Russian economy and the cost of "resolving the issue of the pipe in the lake" - is not that high compared to other budget spending. Here are some excerpts from the press release of today's action:

"Do not stand up to scrutiny the claim that the Baikal pulp and paper mill can not be stopped, because it needs Russian defense industry products, in particular, the production of missiles ...

Even if we close our eyes to the fact that the company, which produces a "major products", is in poor condition, and 50% of its shares are owned by a company registered in Cyprus, which is planning to enter the NATO, the value BPPM for the Russian military remains in question ...

BPPM is not the only plant, which produces viscose pulp, also the quality of it - is extremely low. By the way, some military requires only 300 tons of pulp per year, which means, according to the data of "the Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill" on the monthly production of 6,000 tons of cellulose, they have prepared a raw material is already in the decades ahead. For socially and environmentally responsible closure BPPM have all possibilities, including financial. »



& quot; ... Can a country that claims to great power status, to find the money for the preservation of the unique natural site and where to find them? To answer this question, first look at the estimates, showing the approximate cost of solving the problem BPPM. According to the scientists of the Institute Sibgiprobum reclamation plant site will require 4 billion. Rubles www.bumprom.ru/index.php?ids=272&sub_id=15316

Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences estimated the project to create on the basis of a complex production BPPM plates OSB, building materials, furniture, houses Dendrolight technology and reclamation of industrial waste dumps. The scientists estimate it will take 10, 6 billion. Rubles www.nsc.ru/HBC/hbc.phtml?13 < / a> 488 1

So, to solve the problem BPPM need about 15 billion. Rubles. The amount is not small, but everything is relative and that it can be compared with the investment projects of recent years.



In preparation for the APEC summit in 2012 in Vladivostok allocated almost 240 billion. Rubles. fcp.vpk.ru/cgi-bin/cis/fcp.cgi/Fcp/...261/?yover=2012

Cooperation with Asia-Pacific countries is certainly important. Also, there is no doubt that his success has no direct relation to the magnitude of the amount spent on the construction of facilities for the summit. On the preparation and holding of the Olympic Games in Sochi The Government has allocated Decree of 2007. 223, 5 billion. Rubles. However, only the construction of the "Olympic" combined railway and road Adler - Krasnaya Polyana in 2009 was supposed to allocate 242 billion. Rubles. www.willan.ru/news/2009/02/02/4/

The mere development of project documentation Project Central Ring Road in the Moscow region (CRR), worth more than 8 billion. www.minregion.ru/ invest_phound / invest_project /, and the estimated cost of the road 469 billion rubles. www.stroy-sfo.ru/road/road_0064.html

Another road, the disposal of the building where Vladimir Putin signed August 31, 2011 - a high-speed railway line Moscow - St. Petersburg. Its cost is estimated at 1, 2 trillion rubles. www.forestforum.ru/viewtopic.php?f=...w=unread#unread

It is only a few large projects that are in the increased attention of the authorities and that the money was found ... & quot;
