Who will be responsible for the checkmate on TV?

Weekly magazine “Arguments and Facts” No. 25. A difficult task. What has school education come to? 23/06/2021

The series “Al Kapotnya”is designed for the younger generation. But & nbsp;how much & nbsp;there is a mat! Is it possible to show this to young people? Is it possible to make a claim to the creators of the series?

The expert’s answer is 0 + –

The lawyer Alexander Dobrovinsky answers :

— On television, there are commissions that skip the series to the air or do not skip it. On federal channels, films with obscene language do not reach the air. If you have not watched this series on a federal channel, then it means that the channel has received this permission. Therefore, the claim here is not to the creators. You can express your opinionthe opinion of the commission, which did not take into account the number of mats. But I don’t understand why the reader has a question only about the youth? And why don’t you care about pensioners? Does the mat have a good effect on pensioners? If you suddenly want to sue someone, you need to write a lawsuit only against the organization that issued permission to show this series.

Foreign aircraft were spotted in the Pacific Ocean in the area of Russian exercises

Foreign combat aircraft operated in the area of the Pacific Fleet exercises, Russian ships trained to disguise themselves from it, the Russian Defense Ministry reports. 

The ministry explained that during the air defense exercise, aerosol camouflage was used to mask ships from foreign aircraft actively operating in the area.

The disguise did not allow the foreign military to determine the type of ship and its exact coordinates.

Earlier it was reported that the ships and vessels of the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet) have completed their deployment as part of the exercises. The basis of the grouping is the ships of the Primorsky Flotilla of heterogeneous forces and the vessels of the auxiliary fleet of the Pacific Fleet.

Recall that Russia is conducting large-scale exercises in the far sea zone of the Pacific Ocean. Up to 20 surface warships, submarines and support vessels take part in the maneuvers.

“The People’s Avenger”. Spiritual values of Grigory Kotovsky

140 years ago, on June 24, 1881, in the village of Gincesti, which is relatively close to Chisinau, a fourth child, a son, was born to a mechanical engineer of a local distillery. They called it By Gregory.

The mechanical engineer himself, recorded in all documents as a representative of the bourgeois class, raised his family to the Polish gentry. Judging by everything, it is not without reason, because his son will hear his address in forty years: “You, the son of a hereditary nobleman, in whose ranks are you fighting?A traitor to Russia! The Union for the Salvation of the Motherland invites you to come to your senses!”To this he will answer appropriately:” And go, you, Your Excellency, to…» & nbsp;Grigory himself knew exactly by that moment, with whom he was on his way, and with whom he was not. Moreover, the whole country knew it, by and large. Name Grigory Ivanovich Kotovsky was probably known to everyone and everyone within Russia.

It is also known now. However, to a lesser extent. But everything is known. Although it would be like the name of one of the characters in an endless series of jokes about Vasily Ivanovich Chapaev. From there, Kotovsky migrated to the famous novel Viktor Pelevin where he appears before us as a big fan of cocaine, champagne, trotters and a chic life. There is also Kotovsky from the film of the same name Alexander Feintzimmer, which was released on & nbsp;screens in 1942 & nbsp; year. There actor Nikolai Mordvinov he plays a completely different Kotovsky: a fearless red commander, a legendary hero of the Civil War, who does not know defeats.

Between these two poles, the image of Grigory Ivanovich drifts. It’s been drifting for almost a hundred years. Those interested can set up a simple experiment. You just need to give any Internet search engine a query: “Who is Grigory Kotovsky?& raquo; The answers will be standard to the point of oblivion, and & nbsp;everything will fit into a simple scheme: & laquo; Kotovsky & nbsp; & mdash; the legendary robber, the Bessarabian Robin Hood, the charismatic hero of the Civil War».

The formula is stable and has a certain kind of charm. But anyone who succumbs to this charm will inevitably miss the real Kotovsky, who, oddly enough, did not want to be a robber, nor a Robin Hood, nor a hero. Its purpose was in a different way. And  this«other & raquo; is given criminally littleattention. The most curious periods of Kotovsky’s life, revealing the essence of his personality, are taken out of brackets. Dashing raids on the bourgeoisie with subsequent gifts to the surrounding poor, hard labor adventures, the defeat of the White Guard units, the capture of Odessa and Tiraspol are all there. And that’s why Kotovsky got involved in such things for the sake of?

Subsequently, as a red commander, Kotovsky repeatedly confirms his intolerance for banal criminality. In the territory controlled by his brigade, the situation ” White will come & nbsp; & mdash; rob, red will come — rob»could not have developed by definition. Whites were expelled or taken prisoner. And the Reds under Kotovsky would not have dared to rob anyone. Here’s what conveys from other people’s wordsVasily Shulgin, so white that there is nowhere whiter, a champion and ideologue of the restoration of the monarchy: “Not only in Tiraspol, but throughout the whole district, they told that he personally shot two Red Army soldiers who robbed our sick officers and caught his eyes…»

Soon the truthfulness of these words was experienced by both Shulgin himself and his son Benjamin with the home nickname of Lala, who were captured by Kotovsky: The head of the patrol was a young officer, not an officer, in a word, a man all in leather. I don’t remember how the conversation started. He said: “How happy we are that Comrade Kotovsky has stopped this outrage… And & nbsp;the shootings stopped, and & nbsp;robbingdoes not allow it… Kotovsky is a very good person…”Lyali had a golden spoon that some young lady gave him for happiness, he treasured it. One of & nbsp; & bdquo; comrades“ took it from him in the guardhouse. But we had not gone a hundred paces when he caught up with us: “Take your spoon, comrade. I don’t want to…“»

Maybe the essence of Kotovsky is exhausted by the image of Robin Hood? Here’s what Grigory Grigoryevich remembered , his son: “I remember that in 1940, when the reunification of Bessarabia with Russia took place, the NKVD authorities arranged a trip to Bessarabia with my mother and sister, first to Kishinev, and then to the town of Ganchesti, where my father was born and spent his childhood… Now it is already thrivingthe town, and in that & nbsp;time is a typical backwater Romanian village. Several local old men came up to me, began to kiss my hands, said: “Your father gave me, took it from the rich…& nbsp;and & nbsp;I need a cow…& ldquo; and & nbsp; T. & nbsp; D. These old people were living witnesses of their father’s activities in the years 1915-1916.

This is much closer to the truth. Kotovsky really gave his part of what he had acquired as a result of expropriations to the poor. That is, he restored justice as he understood it.

And his sense of justice was sharpened. Here is what his classmate at the Kokorozinsky Agricultural Agronomic School, Viktor Vayner, remembered about the young Kotovsky : “I entered the school two years later than Kotovsky. At first, I worked as an apprentice in a blacksmith shop. When I first met him, he gave me the impression of a more mature, more serious person than the other students. This was a man who could take the offended under protection. There was a case when I was hit by a blacksmith, for whom I worked. Kotovsky, seeing such a case, stood up for me. Kotovsky was often on duty at the dairy farm. When our outfit came to his duty, he tried to feed us, because we were poorly fed at school…»

Kotovsky himself recalled his training as follows: “Of all the life I have lived, the time of my stay at the Kokorozinsky Agricultural School is the brightest, brightest, joyful period according to my memories and impressions… I remember it with the sincere respect and love of allteachers who made us into workers who would carry out the application of this knowledge practically in life, serving in this regard as a clear example for the environment and contributing to the improvement, the general rise of agriculture, on which the general welfare of our Fatherland depends.

He wasn’t lying about anything. After the Civil War, Kotovsky rushed into the element of the “rise of agriculture”, as if he had been waiting for this all his life. On his initiative, the Central Administration of Military Industrial and Agricultural Enterprises is being created. He is restoring sugar and hop-growing plants, which immediately reach the pre-war production level and even exceed it. Hops«from & nbsp;Kotovsky & raquo; enters the international market: it is bought by Czechoslovak brewers who knowthere is a lot of sense in such cases. Under his personal control, meat and dairy state farms, mills, pasta factories, factories for the production of fruit and grape wines, jam and jam are being created in some incredible quantities. He personally participates in the development of a ten-field crop rotation system and raises the yields of bread and sugar beet, and also establishes the life of his wards: free nurseries and kindergartens, free meals for field work, guaranteed wages, and in gold Soviet chervonets…

And here it becomes clear who Kotovsky is. A born administrator. Business manager. The organizer. This is how he was at the beginning of his life. And & nbsp;this was revealed in full at the end. And & nbsp;everything that was in the middle  —all these raids, prisons and & nbsp; red commandery, & mdash; so, alluvial. The struggle with what prevented him from fulfilling his true purpose.

The EMERCOM task force flew to the Far East to coordinate the flood control

An operational group of the Russian Emergencies Ministry under the leadership of the first deputy head of the department Alexander Chupriyan flew from Moscow to the Far East to coordinate the flood control, TASS reports.

It is noted that first the employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations will work in Transbaikalia, and then they will go to the Amur region.

According to the ministry, since the beginning of June, more than 560 residential buildings and more than 1.5 thousand household plots have been flooded in these regions due to heavy rainfall, 24 bridges and 45 sections of roads have been damaged. 

More than 300 people, including 61 children, were evacuated from the areas of possible flooding. Some of them are now in temporary accommodation facilities.

To protect settlements and minimize the consequences of flooding, work is being carried out on the construction of dams.

Earlier it was reported about the announcement of an interregional emergency in the Trans-Baikal Territory and the Amur Region.

Chemical lawlessness: Control will be strengthened over dangerous industries in the Volga region

Last week, a meeting of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on environmental safety issues was held in Samara. Special attention is paid in the report of the Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev attention was paid to enterprises belonging to hazard class 1-3, whose activities, as a result, carry potential man-made and environmental hazards, and therefore require special attention from the authorities and regulatory authorities.

Where is the responsibility of the business?

The situation in the Volga Federal District, where the largest number of industrial facilities are concentrated, including those belonging to hazard class 1-3, in whose production chemicals are used, leaves much to be desired. Over the past three years, 10 major man-made accidents have occurred in the region. And every year the problems of ensuring environmental safety and environmental protection are becoming more acute, and their unresolved situation negatively affects the quality of life of the population and as a result leads to an increase in social tension.

“The technogenic load on the environment is the main factor determining the environmental situation in the district, which remains difficult in a number of regions of the district. The level of emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere in the district remains high, almost 3.5 million tons, and accounts for 14% of the total emissions in the country, & nbsp; & mdash; notedin his speech at the meeting with the participation of representatives of federal regulatory agencies and the authorized representative of the President of Russia in the Volga Federal District Igor Komarov, Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolai Patrushev. — Until Still not in all cities are properly monitored for atmospheric air & raquo;.

will the Volga tolerate everything?

The situation is no less depressing with the pollution of underground and surface waters. As a rule, the main violators are industrial enterprises and public utilities. Often the cause of pollution is the unwillingness of companies to comply with industrial and environmental safety measures. Organizations, earning a lot of money, are not in a hurry to bear the financial costs of switching to modern technologies at all.

Quite often, enterprises, alas, do not even have their own local treatment facilities, as a result, the explosive mixture of industrial waste gets into rivers, groundwater, and from there into the main artery of the most densely populated district of Russia: The Volga River.

In 2020 alone, 44 cases of extremely high contamination of surface waters with chemicals were registered on the territory of the Volga Federal District. The district has set an anti-record for the number of volumes of untreated wastewater discharge, which exceeded 2 billion cubic meters. Naturally, all this, as a result, affects the safety of drinking water, which residents of the Volga region are forced to use.

Exclusion zones

But the biggest problem of the district is the elimination of accumulated environmental damage.

“Work on many objects of accumulated harm, and there are 267 of them in the district, is carried out without preliminary studies of the chemical composition of waste, without designing works and their scientific and technical support,” the Secretary of the Security Council criticized the officials. — This practice not only prevents the completion of liquidation works within the established time frame, but also contributes to the continuation of environmental pollution with harmful substances.

There are such pollution zones, for example, on the territory of the former Phosphorus plant (now a Chemical plant) in the city of Tolyatti in the Samara Region and in 37 kilometers of Nizhny Novgorod, in Dzerzhinsk (the Eastern industrial zone of Plexiglass). Environmentalists of both regions have been seeking more drastic measures to solve problems for a long time. However, so far, as the Secretary of the Security Council Nikolai Patrushev rightly noted at the last meeting, the negative impact on the environment in such territories is only increasing. 

Environmentalists see the reason for everything in those chemical enterprises located on these sites and, alas, continuing to treat nature as a consumer. The signs of this are the lack of local treatment facilities, air filtration systems and control over emissions into the atmosphere and simply the unwillingness of businesses to invest in industrial and environmental safety.

The AIF has repeatedly analyzed the situation, and more precisely, the attitude of the regulatory authorities, on which, in fact, compliance with the law depends on especially dangerous enterprises of hazard class 1-3, on the example of coagulant production plants owned by the holding Metachem;: Aqua Reagent LLC (Dzerzhinsk) and Alchem LLC (Tolyatti).

Write letters

, Chairman of the Council of the Samara Regional regional branch of the All-Russian Social Movement “Russian Environmental Movement”.

Brothers in Cataclysms

A typical situation is developing in Dzerzhinsk, where dozens of enterprises are located on the territory of the Eastern Industrial Zone of Plexiglass, many of which are particularly dangerous, using toxic substances in their production, such as Aqua-Reagent LLC.

“In general, a feature of the territory of the Dzerzhinsk city district is a high level of environmental pollution by production and consumption waste,” Elena Kolpakova, a well-known environmental expert in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, comments on the situation . In the chemical composition of groundwater, we have repeatedly detected an increased content of sulfates, nitrates, iron, the presence of organic compounds and special components of industrial pollution, as well as heavy metals and organochlorine compounds. The soils in the Eastern Industrial Zone have been intensively polluted for many decades as a result of leaks from waste storage facilities, and therefore they are now a source of secondary pollution of underground and surface waters, which literally reach the Oka River in a couple of kilometers.

Admittedly, in the case of the above-mentioned holding of “chemists”, which fell into the field of view of environmentalists of two regions at once, the number of violations that the inspectors did not see for a long time is really frightening, which allowed enterprises to pollute the already exhausted nature with waste from the production of coagulant.

And who else will stand up for the protection of nature?

So, without waiting, alas, for the actions of the regional ministries, whose powers include control over environmental safety, and also the main control body of Rosprirodnadzor, the journalists of the AIF in September 2020, independently taking samples of soil and wastewater at these enterprises, conducted a study in certified laboratory in Moscow.

On September 23, 2020, the results were received. The result & nbsp; & mdash; MPC in & nbsp; water and & nbsp; soil on & nbsp; the territory of LLC & laquo;Alchem» according to & nbsp; some indicators are significantly exceeded. And & nbsp;this is hardly & nbsp; whether the legacy of & laquo; Phosphorus», as many may think. The experts studied the material and came to the conclusion that the PHin water, instead of the permissible value of 6, it is 3.3. The content of the sulfate ion is exceeded by 4 times. These two indicators may be directly related to the production of coagulants. In addition, the content of lead and zinc is more than three times higher in the soil and there is a significant presence of mercury.

The result of the MPC in & nbsp;water and & nbsp; soil of «Aqua-Reagent & raquo; is also significantly exceeded. The PH standards in wastewater are exceeded by 2.3 times. The content of the sulfate ion is exceeded by 7 (!) times. Also here, experts found a chloride content that is 2.8 times higher than the norm. And there was also zinc, lead and mercury.

All the results were sent to the Volga Interregional Environmental Prosecutor’s Office, and from there to the controlling structures, which, as it turned out after almost 8 months, did not really check the enterprises and approached the issue formally.

For some reason, only the Ministry of Natural Resources of the Nizhny Novgorod Region got to the place of events to take material for research. The result, frankly, amazed both us and environmentalists: the content of sulfates and chlorides in water is more than 25,000 mg per liter (!), which indicates high concentrations of mineral salts.

“These are compounds that affect the PH and dry residue indicators, which dramatically affects the composition of water. A low PH value characterizes the test sample of natural water as highly acidic, which is usually the result of hydrolysis of heavy metal salts. The dry residue is the content of all dissolved substances, the main share of which is Mg2+, Na+, K+, Ca2+, HCO3 -, SO42 -, Cl-. The analysis of the dry residue allowsto determine the degree of total contamination of wastewater with organic and mineral substances. If the value of this parameter is higher than 1200 mg/dm3 (the lowest water quality class V), in this case even the quality class V is worse from the environmental standpoint. In this case, in-depth studies of the content of pollutants are necessary, ” environmental expert Elena Kolpakova emphasizes.

Why is everything so formal?

Nevertheless, in Dzerzhinsk, for some reason, they did not check the water for the presence of heavy metal salt compounds, and according to the results of the inspection, they were only satisfied with a fine on the director, not even on a legal entity. And the controllers did not even bother to calculate the damage caused to the environment. In & nbsp;Samara & nbsp;the same region and & nbsp; at all quiet and & nbsp; smooth.

The environmental Prosecutor’s office even sees in the actions of the regulatory authorities an unwillingness to go out to check the data of organizations.

“In the approval of an unscheduled inspection in respect of these organizations, a refusal was made in connection with the non-compliance by the territorial department of Rosprirodnadzor with the requirements for the execution of a decision on an unscheduled on-site inspection, which was indicated by the prosecutor’s office in the refusal. But & nbsp;data violationsthe management requirements have not been eliminated. In connection with the violations of the legislation on state control, the heads of these interregional departments of Rosprirodnadzor have made representations, ” the senior assistant prosecutor of the Volga Interregional Environmental Prosecutor’s Office said Maria Sidorova.

Now the prosecutor’s office is forced to compel officials to perform their work in full, as it should be, not only with the identification of the sources and the scale of pollution, but also with the involvement of legal entities to liability with the subsequent payment of damage and liquidation of consequences.

Dead center shift

After the Security Council meeting, the AIF visited both regions. It should be noted that since last year, a lot of work has been carried out in Togliatti on the territory of the former Phosphorus plant.

In 2019, the administration of Togliatti declared the site of the former JSC “Phosphorus” an emergency threat zone. This allowed the municipality to allocate its own funds for an assessment of the current situation in order to really understand the depth of the problem. In 2020, the specialists of SamSTU developed a feasibility study for us to carry out work on the elimination of pollution foci on the territory of the former JSC “Phosphorus”. Completeda huge complex of works and surveys, a comprehensive survey of storage sites for phosphorus-containing and other types of waste was carried out;documentation for certification and certification of these wastes was prepared;technical solutions for the disposal and neutralization of phosphorus and phosphorus-containing waste were developed; technical specifications and estimates for the development of design and survey work were prepared, explains the current situation del mayor of Togliatti Nikolai Renz. We have already approved the scheme of the land plot subject to reclamation in the Federal Property Management Agency. This gives us the opportunity to conduct a survey of the territory, to identify all 11 sites on which there is either phosphorus itself or phosphorus-containing waste.

All this will make it possible to include the territory of the former JSC “Phosphorus” in the state register of objects of accumulated environmental damage and qualify for federal money that will be used for the elimination of hazardous waste. I am also pleased with the clear position of the Governor of the Samara Region Dmitry Azarov on this issue, who also raised the issue of the contaminated territory at the last meeting of the Security Council.

And & nbsp;who is here in the law?

However, it is worth noting that over all these years, the beneficiaries of the Chemical Plant have been actively selling off what is left of the Phosphorus property. Yes, they could not claim the land, it is federal, but it is for buildings and structures, on the basis of which such enterprises as the same Alhim have been working for many years, quite. And now the mayor’s office has begun to have questions about the legality of the activities of such organizations.

“I also want to draw your attention to the fact that the administration of Togliatti intends to find out which enterprises and organizations carry out activities on the territory of the former JSC “Phosphorus” and on what basis. I consider it necessary to involve the regulatory authorities and, first of all, the prosecutor’s office in this work, we intend to check the legality of the carried-out reconstructionsbuildings and structures, the construction of new ones, for all this it was necessary to obtain a permit and a corresponding agreement with the Togliatti administration, but, as far as we already know, the absolute majority of such documents do not have, and therefore, the legality of the placement of production facilities is under a big question, the head of Togliatti constructively summarized his position.

Such actions on the part of the local authorities are quite justified, because as soon as it was announced about the intention to add the territory to the list of zones of accumulated environmental damage, many of those whose legality of production is now being questioned have already begun to dream of receiving multimillion-dollar compensations from the federal budget for their property. And the Togliatti City Hall wants to spend money on the environment, and not on someone’s enrichment.

We hope that very soon the administration of Dzerzhinsk will follow a similar path, where there is also a lot of work to be done, including legal work.

Enough of the chosen approaches

And as for the regulatory authorities, as it was noted at the meeting of the Security Council in Samara last year, Rosprirodnadzor alone in the Volga Federal District revealed more than one thousand two hundred violations of environmental legislation. This means that they can work and can hold businesses accountable.

But, as Nikolai Patrushev rightly noted, the criminogenic situation in the Volga Federal District in the field of ecology remains difficult.

“I have named only a part of the environmental challenges and threats that are noted in the regions of the Volga Federal District. At the same time, I would like to emphasize once again that the elimination of accumulated environmental damage, reducing the level of air, water, soil pollution, solving the problems of recycling and recyclingall this is a necessary condition for improving the quality of life, strengthening the health of our citizens. In addition, violations of environmental legislation identified in the district pose an increased threat to environmental safety and require the implementation of additional measures, ” the Secretary of the Security Council stressed.

However, as shown by 8 months from the day of the release of the material, ” Dangerous production. Chemical plants are suspected of “non-compliance with security measures”, on the part of all supervisors, there is still some indecision in relation to the enterprises of the holding “Metachem”.

P. & nbsp;S. & nbsp; I would very much like local prosecutors, together with the Prosecutor General’s Office, to understand why everyone who is responsible for compliance with the law at such proceedings in the Volga Federal District has stubbornly not noticed violations for decadesat the mentioned enterprises, including those about which we have not yet written, but officials are still silent about them for some reason (all the facts are given in the above-mentioned material ed.). And we we will continue to monitor the situation in the Volga region.

The veterinarian told how to help pets survive the heat

The intense heat that has set in Central Russia is difficult to survive not only people, but also animals. How to make the life of a pet easier on hot days, Mikhail Shelyakov, a veterinarian of the highest category, told in an interview with 360.

According to the expert, it is best to walk with dogs early in the morning or late in the evening, when the heat has already subsided. Be sure to take a bottle of water and a bowl with you, so that the animal can drink at any time. If possible, it is better to walk without a muzzle, Shelyakov advised. He explained that an open mouth and a protruding tongue help the dog get rid of excess heat, but a muzzle will interfere with this.

Speaking about small animals, the veterinarian noted that rodent cages should never be left under the scorching sun.

He also reminded that cats in hot weather need to leave an influx of fresh air. At the same time, there should be special grids on the windows. Also, quadrupeds should have an unlimited supply of water and the ability to move freely.

Earlier it became known that a draft law was submitted to the State Duma, which determines the permissible number of pets in an apartment. The authors of the initiative also propose to introduce mandatory registration of animals, which will help return lost pets to their owners.

Meanwhile, in Moscow on June 23, the temperature maximum of 1948 was broken. By 14: 00, the air in the Russian capital warmed up to 34.7 degrees. This indicator was recorded at the VDNKh weather station.
