Official environmentalists and prosecutors distinguished themselves in Kuzbass. After a deputy request from Andrei Lugovoy about the destruction of lands and forests with dumps from the coal mining activities of Energiya-NK LLC in the Novokuznetsk district of the Kemerovo region, the Ministry of Natural Resources issued its own conclusion. They say that the audit showed that the State Duma deputy was misled, and there were no disturbed 60 hectares of forest land, and the damage was not 600 million rubles. In total, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources, facts were established on the lands of the Esaulsky district forestry of the Novokuznetsk forestry: soil damage on an area of ​​2.6 hectares, illegal logging of 2.5 hectares of forest plantations, damage to forests amounted to 53 million rubles. The department promised to punish those responsible. And it seems like the story could end. However, Lugovoy provided new evidence of the monstrous scale of the environmental disaster, and it already turned out that in different years 153 hectares were actually destroyed, and the Kuzbass Forestry Department and the Novokuznetsk Interdistrict Environmental Prosecutor’s Office provided the Ministry of Natural Resources with deliberately underestimated figures of violations. This is a corruption conspiracy. And now without interference Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, Prosecutor General’s Office and other departments are indispensable.
