Dying villages of Russia by region. Calculating abandoned villages

07.08.2020

Hello, friends!

You, of course, have heard about the dead abandoned cities, abandoned villages, villages and townships, of which there are a lot, not only in the post-Soviet space, but all over the world: in the USA, China, Japan, Germany and so on.

Yes, today I want to talk about the ghost towns of Russia. And not those that, due to their tragic (or not so) fate, have become part of the tourist trails, but those that are not so well known to the general public, but no less interesting.

So, friends, if you are here hoping to find information about Pripyat, which, frankly, has already set the teeth on edge. Or about the tragic fate of Kadykchan or Kurshi, then I will upset you - they are deliberately ignored in this article. There are several reasons, and one of them, at least one, is that it is better to share information and impressions about such cities after visiting them.

Dead cities and tourism

The relatively new genre of "post-apocalyptic" has gained widespread popularity over the past half century. This is reflected in films, books, and games. More and more photographers, directors, people of other creative professions, and simply thrill-seekers are visiting abandoned buildings.

Some are looking for inspiration there; for others, dead cities are a blank canvas on which to create. And someone wants impressions and new emotions. Now it is already clear that this, whatever one may say, is another direction for tourism. Let it be not the most popular, but definitely very interesting. Such cities allow you to see a different life, to touch something mystical and eerie.

Abandoned settlements of the Central Federal District

Most often, such an unenviable fate was in small settlements, whose inhabitants worked at the same city-forming enterprise. It was closed - the settlement "closed". Sometimes everything is much more tragic, a vivid example of this is Pripyat.

Rather, my list falls into the first category. These towns and villages “fell prey to economic recession,” not natural or man-made disasters. Below are 20 dead settlements of Russia, which are located in the Central Federal District (photos are attached).

Not exactly a ghost, some houses still have life. The history of this military town is terribly typical: the military unit was disbanded and everything was abandoned. Barracks, hangars, dining room and so on, all of this is slowly crumbling.

The object is quite famous in certain circles of abandoned lovers.

Remember the forest fire in central Russia in 2010? So, this village stood in the way of the destructive power of fire. The private sector burned out almost completely, the boiler room, garages and vegetable gardens burned down. People fled, leaving their property.

Only high-rise buildings remained practically untouched by the fire. At the time of 2015, Mokhovoye is a completely dead village.

This is the Belevsky district. Chelyustino, presumably, has been abandoned since 1985. There are 24 houses left in it, there are no people.

Well preserved. In some houses, even wardrobes with clothes were found.

But this is a residential village. I don’t know which is sadder - a ghost town or THIS.

Glubokovsky has a typical fate for a working mine village. After the closure of all the mines, about 1500 people still lived there, but in the 90s of the last century, people gradually began to disperse.

The village is saved from complete extinction by the proximity of the regional center, but ... what efforts does life in it cost? It's not even a small town.

Kostromka is a completely extinct settlement in central Russia, of which there are hundreds. This village is not one here either, there are several more of the same nearby.

There are several houses left in it, all in disrepair.

The once large village is now living out its day. Some houses are well preserved, this can be seen both in their carved platbands and in their internal state (there are household items in good condition).

Over the past few years, this settlement has been completely deserted. Nowadays Korchmino is a ghost village.

Another of the many dead villages in the Yaroslavl region. Everything that can be removed from there has already been taken away, everything that cannot be slowly rotted away.

The once rich village, with large houses and courtyards (in almost every courtyard, a barn, a bathhouse, farm buildings) is slowly dying.

The exact name is unknown, there is a possibility that this village has a different name. There is another similar village nearby. It is difficult to find them, since the main references remained on old maps.

Everything inside is as usual: several looted ruined houses, in which you can still find household items.

"This strange place Kamchatka" has been empty for about 10 years. Once upon a time, this settlement belonged to the collective farm. Chapaeva. The collective farm collapsed, and the same happened to the village.

You can't get to this village (unless by tank), so it's better to walk. At the moment, several houses in poor condition have survived in Dora, but earlier life was in full swing.

The village was connected with the outside world by a narrow-gauge railway, built in 1946. At the moment, several destroyed bridges in the vicinity remain from it.

A small village with 10 houses, now only 2 survived. The village has been completely dead for 4 years already.

We were in the same house (pictured), on the table there was a letter from the mother from the "zone" from her son.

Another ghost village, but already in the Belozersk region. It has been empty, presumably since 1995.

Several houses and baths have survived near the river. The houses are of the North Russian type - on a high basement with a passage in the back of the house. Inside there are some pieces of furniture and household items. Everything is in bad shape.

A very old village in the Vologda Oblast, founded on the water trade route in the 13th century. The settlement flourished in the 18th century, and in 1708 it became the center of the Charond region and received the status of a city. The population at that time was about 10,000. It did not last long.

In the 1770s, the town of Charonda became a village again, and by 1917 it had less than 1,000 inhabitants. Nowadays there are ten houses left in the village, and the number of inhabitants is equal to 2 (more in summer). The village is extremely inconvenient: there is no road there by land, there is no electricity (all the pillars rotted long ago and fell into the swamp).

Khmelin is also an old ghost village in the Central Federal District of Russia. It was founded in 1626, there were 700 households, a mill, factories, a collective farm, a school and a shop.

However, since the 70s of the 20th century, residents gradually began to disperse. As of November 2017, no one lives in the village. The houses are abandoned, only a few are used as country houses.

An almost dead village in the dense forests of the Kostroma region. Average condition: there are several houses almost untouched by time.

There are 4 more abandoned villages near the village.

A remarkable place. In the late 1980s, a stone labyrinth was discovered in the vicinity of this farm, which is several thousand years old.

By the way, it is believed that this labyrinth is a place of power.

Some of the houses are huts with thatched roofs and look cool. At the moment, the farm is almost completely abandoned.

Ghost villages on the map

The map is very rough. Firstly, not all villages could be inflicted on it, and secondly, those that were inflicted may not be entirely correct. You understand that abandoned cities in Russia, and not only, are not always easy to find.

But, roughly you can navigate, all areas are correct.

On this, perhaps, everything. I end the list of dead cities and villages. But this is just one of many. I have not included many more areas of our vast Motherland.

P. S. All information about the once settlements and photos are taken from the site urban3p.ru

Photographer Pavel Kapustin from Bryansk during the summer of 2014 traveled to remote villages, in which only a few residential buildings remained. Public transport does not go there, and the roads, if any, have long been overgrown. The trip resulted in a series of photographs “ Forgotten Russia". Babr posts some photos of dying villages and their last inhabitants

Pavel Kapustin on the Forgotten Russia project:

“There are a lot of such places, and city dwellers sometimes do not even think about how these people live, survive, exist. I want to tell you about it and show it.

The heroes of the photo project are ordinary residents of remote villages and villages who no longer hope for outside help, live on their own, and they can be counted on one hand. They are the same, primordially Russian, simple, uncomplicated, and at the same time with a very difficult fate. Before our eyes, the Russian village, its unique everyday cultural environment, its inimitable flavor, consonance with the nature of the human way and life are disappearing. "

The first house in the village of Shapkino, which was visible from the road, was overgrown so that only the roof was visible.

There are only two residential buildings in the village. The rest are abandoned and overgrown so that you can't even get to them. Elena lives in the same house with her husband, a cat and a dog.

We moved here from the city and not at all from a good life. The husband works in the regional center, where they buy food and everything they need. From the village and back - only on foot. They live on their own small farm, which is grown in the beds in the garden.

Elena's only neighbor is Nikolai.

He lives here with his wife Irina and mother Klavdia Nikolaevna. Grandma Klava is already 82 years old.

Nikolai's daughter lives in the city and comes very rarely. Irina showed her in the photo. (naked girls nearby - it's not her))), the owner just likes it).

A toothy guard lives in one of the overturned barrels.

Everything in the garden is well-groomed and processed. What they planted and raised, they ate. Everything is very simple. Women keep an eye on the economy and direct Nikolai's skillful hands in the right direction.

Half of the houses in Pechki are closed, boarded up and abandoned. Anastasia Vasilievna lives in one of the surviving houses. She moved here from the Brasovsky district, from the village of Zhdanovka 58 years ago, having married. My daughter lives in neighboring Scheglovka, and her two sons live in Lyudinovo and Komarichi. The children gave her 13 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Ivan's husband has been gone for 26 years. He worked all his life on a collective farm. Anastasia Vasilievna also worked as a milkmaid on the collective farm.

This year the garden had to be planted less, because my legs hurt and will no longer be able to care for it.

For provisions you need to walk to the neighboring Scheglovka, but with medicine here it is tough. I had to go to the doctor already in Navlya. The doctor prescribed injections, but there is no one to inject. There is no medical center nearby, and nobody knows how to do it. This is how the injections lie in the box ...

Anastasia Vasilievna was visiting Evgeny's daughter-in-law. I came to visit and help with the garden.

There are now three residential buildings in the village. This is one of them.

Ivan Tikhonovich lives in it. He was waiting for guests for barbecue, so he decided to somehow improve the surrounding area. In this he was helped by his relative Sergei, the sister's husband, who had recently come to visit.

Ivan Tikhonovich lives in a house with his mother. She is ill and hardly walks. He looks after her and looks after her. Works as a postman at the local post office. The house also has its own rather big farm. This is, first of all, of course, a horse. How can it be without her in the village ?! And bring firewood and go to the neighboring village. There are also chickens, sheep, a dog and a couple of cats.

At home - like everyone else

In the Sverdlovsk region, on the banks of the Kyrya river, there is an abandoned rastess village... For more than sixty years, there is not a single living soul in it, the houses are dilapidated, the yards have long been overgrown with weeds. However, hunters and travelers are still trying to bypass it ...

From the village of Rastess, there are now only three ruined houses in an overgrown field

Gateway to Siberia

After the Siberian Khanate fell at the end of the 16th century, the road beyond the Urals was open for enterprising Russian people who went east in search of gold, silver and furs. Boris Godunov, a very calculating man and not devoid of intelligence, understood what benefit the Moscow state could get from the development of new lands.

Therefore, being the de facto ruler under the painful and self-aloof from power, Tsar Fyodor Ioannovich, he achieved the signing of the Tsar's decree, according to which the construction of a convenient road for travel from Europe to Asia was started. This path, by the name of the person who proposed and then carried out its construction, was named the Babinovsky tract.

Artemy Babinov, who brought his own project to life, not only laid a 260-verst highway from Solikamsk, but also founded settlements throughout its length, which were supposed to serve the road and protect people traveling along it.

One of these settlements was the Rastessky guard, later - the village of Rastess, the name of which goes back to the outdated form of the word "clearing", since the first inhabitants of the settlement were lumberjacks who fell trees for laying the Babinovsky tract. Then they were replaced by service people, who kept the path in good condition, carried armed guards of carts, who welcomed the wanderers to their camps.

For about a century and a half, the tract was the main route to Siberia, and the village of Rastess was one of the most important transshipment points on it. Messengers with royal decrees, peasants looking for a better life, scientific expeditions passed through it. Only after the construction of the Siberian-Moscow Highway, the importance of the old road began to decline until, in 1763, it was officially closed.

Nevertheless, the village of Rastess was not deserted, and in the nineteenth century even experienced a new heyday - after deposits of gold and platinum were discovered in its vicinity. The villagers, by the standards of that time, became quite wealthy, and some even got rich.

The village retained its industrial significance even in Soviet times - until, in the middle of the twentieth century, it was mysteriously deserted.

Bloom anomaly

What exactly happened in the 1950s is still unknown. There were no witnesses left who could tell about what happened, no traces that could shed light on the mysterious disappearance. Just a few facts - and even more speculation.

If we talk about the facts, then they are as follows: once the residents of the nearest settlement, Kytlym, located a couple of tens of kilometers from Rastess, realized that for a long time they had not seen a single inhabitant of the neighboring village, and had not even received news from any of them ... Having gathered, the local men drove off in cars to find out what had happened.

What they saw from their neighbors left the villagers at a loss. From the outside it seemed that everything was as usual in Rastess. The houses were untouched, the livestock and poultry were in their places, except that some of the animals looked clearly starved.

However, as soon as we got closer, it became clear that something strange had happened. There was not a single person in the entire village. Moreover, it seemed that all the inhabitants of the village had simply disappeared in the blink of an eye. The windows in the houses are open, the doors are not locked. On the tables is half-eaten lunch (or dinner?).

On the bench lay an open book with a bookmark, as if the reader had decided to distract himself for a minute - but never returned. Continuing the search of the village and its environs, people stumbled upon another riddle: it turned out that graves had been dug at the local cemetery. However, not a single clue where the inhabitants of Rastess could have disappeared was never found.

Only after returning to Kytlym, the men, who did not understand anything, began to remember that at one time they had laughed at the eccentric neighbors, who sometimes fancy mermaids, now the light in the sky, now some kind of evil wandering through the neighboring forest.

These memories not only strengthened the aura of mystery about what had happened, but also cemented Rastess with notoriety. From now on, those who wanted to voluntarily find themselves in the deserted village became less and less every year, despite the temptation to appropriate the property left unattended.

Moreover, the opinion about the curse hanging over the ancient settlement was subsequently reinforced more than once by many anomalies. According to the testimony of those rare daredevils who nevertheless reached Rastess along the remains of the old Babinovsky tract, they saw strange lights among the trees, light pillars going into the sky, and sometimes, especially in the dark, a whisper came from nowhere, from which the blood froze ...

The fate of the Trans-Ural village strangely unites it with the disappeared English colony of Roanoke, the first to be founded in North America. Founded in 1585, it was discovered completely deserted only 15 years later.

At the same time, the same “symptoms” were observed as in the case of Rustess: the houses looked as if people had decided to leave them for a minute, but they could not return. The abandoned settlements in North America and the Sverdlovsk region are united by the fact that the mystery of the disappearance of people to this day cannot be solved.

Of course, you can name a great many versions that at the very least explain what happened. From fairly realistic (a consequence of an attack by Indians or, in the case of Rustss, escaped prisoners) to mystical: alien abduction, opening doors to a parallel dimension, mass insanity, attack by monsters.

According to one of the versions, the reason why the village was deserted is the free settlement of prisoners (located nearby), who dug graves in the hope of finding gold and robbed the houses of local residents who were forced to go to work in neighboring settlements, from where they returned only for the weekend.

However, there are still too few facts to give preference to one of the hypotheses. Therefore, it is completely unclear whether Rustess will ever become a less mysterious place than it is now.

Attempts to research

In 2005, the first expedition to Rastess was made by an amateur traveler. Due to the short duration of the expedition and the inaccessibility of the village, the collected material was not enough to study the history of this area.

In 2011-2014, Rastess was repeatedly visited by Perm jeepers as part of the Eurasia Trophy event held in that area. At the moment, Rastess is very heavily overgrown with wild grass, from the buildings there are rare ruins of wooden log cabins. In August 2014, another cast-iron tombstone from the late 19th and early 20th centuries was discovered and excavated in the cemetery.

In July 2015, the site was visited by a team of ATVs from Yekaterinburg on the way along the historical route of the Babinovskaya road from the village of Pavda to the village of Verkhnyaya Kosva. It turned out that the place where Rustess was located is now an overgrown field with the almost disappeared remains of three houses and a single old burial.

Over the past 20 years, 23,000 cities, rural settlements and villages have disappeared from the map of Russia.

Over the past 10 years, the population has decreased by 40% in the Far East and by 60% in the Far North.

Every year Russia loses in terms of population an entire region equal to Pskov, or a republic the size of Karelia, or such a large city as Krasnodar.

Every minute 5 people die in Russia, only 3 are born. Mortality exceeds the birth rate by 1.7 times, in some regions - by 2-3 times.
26,000 children die before the age of 10 every year, 50 babies die every day, 70% of them in maternity hospitals.

In terms of life expectancy, our country ranks 162nd in the world behind Papua New Guinea and Honduras.

The average life expectancy for Russian men is 59 years (in the EU countries - 79 years, in the USA - 78, in Canada - 81, in Japan - 82 years).

Ten years ago, in 2001, Russia ranked 100th in life expectancy, already then hopelessly behind the developed countries of the world: men died 15-19 years earlier, women 7-12 years earlier. Now we have slipped to 122nd place in the world to countries like Guyana.

About 1 million 600 thousand people are born here annually, about 2 million 100 thousand die.Almost 60% of all deaths are due to diseases of the cardiovascular system, about 15% - from cancer, 4% - from diseases respiratory and digestive organs.

Over the past seven years, the number of patients with the cardiovascular system has increased by one and a half times (from 2.4 to 3.7 million people), oncological diseases - by 17% (from 1.2 to 1.4 million people).

In 1992, cancer was again diagnosed in 882 thousand people, in 2008 - already in 1.4 million people. In 1992, diseases of the circulatory system were found in 1.7 million people, in 2008 - already in 3.8 million people.

For simple reproduction of the population, 14.3 children should be born for every thousand inhabitants. In Russia - 9.8 newborns. In Azerbaijan - 29.3, in Armenia - 22.8, in Georgia - 18.7, in Kazakhstan - 23.4, in Kyrgyzstan - 30.1, in Uzbekistan - 32.8, in Tajikistan - 43.7, in Turkmenistan - 34.3.

Every third baby in Russia is born sick. The incidence rate of newborns has increased by 32 percent in five years. Complications of pregnancy and childbirth have become more frequent: in 1992, 1.3 million women faced such problems, in 2008 - already 2.7 million.

According to the All-Russian prophylactic medical examination, the number of practically healthy children in Russia has decreased to 32.2 percent, in many regions of healthy children no more than four percent.

Analyzing the results of the draft commissions, doctors note a steady deterioration in the health of young men. Even according to the most minimal health requirements, every third conscript is declared unfit for military service. Most of all diseases of the digestive system, kidneys, cardiovascular system (31.2%), 20.7% - the consequences of injuries and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, 19.3% - mental retardation, psychopathy.

The leading cause of mental retardation in children and adolescents is iodine deficiency. In Russia, 70 percent of the population has iodine deficiency, but iodization of water and food has been canceled in the country due to the high cost, although less than 50 grams of iodine preparations are required per ton of salt.

As the head of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff of Chisin told Rossiyskaya Gazeta, out of 220 thousand youths of the last draft, 15 thousand turned out to be "underweight" - dystrophies.

Every year there are 12-15 percent more young men suffering from diseases that require sports and fitness correction. Of the 10.5 thousand Muscovites called up for service, more than 75 percent could not even fulfill the school standards for physical training. The number of children's sports clubs, health camps, and the provision of sanatorium-and-spa treatment to adolescents has been reduced to almost nothing.

$ 500 million, which Roman Abramovich, at once, not counting the huge monthly payments, invested in the development of an English football club, it was possible to build 300 thousand children's sports courtyards in Russia (the arrangement of one site costs 50 thousand rubles).

Due to injuries and poisoning, mortality among adolescents over the past ten years has increased sixfold among boys and three times among girls.

Sixty percent of young children may have problems with their offspring - the result of the cultivated beer. As proved by British scientists, natural hormones in beer are the same female hormones, only of plant origin, negatively affecting the ability of men to reproduce.

66% of Russian citizens cannot receive qualified medical care.

Russia ranks second in the world in the distribution of counterfeit drugs - at least 300 million euros per year. 87% of medicines sold in pharmacies are counterfeit or do not meet expiration dates. Usually, the active substance is not added to the tablets, or "dummies" made of chalk are used.

In just five years, from 1996 to 2001, and the Moscow Regional Dermatovenerologic Dispensary alone registered the transfusion of blood contaminated with syphilis to 325 recipients. Since 2001, the statistics of this type of crime has been canceled. Although the scale of infection of patients with "dirty" blood is catastrophic, if in the district hospital of Khanty-Mansiysk, 116 liters of donor blood were destroyed in a year: 1.5 liters - HIV-infected, 22 liters - with hepatitis C virus, ten liters - with hepatitis B , 9 liters - with syphilis ...

In terms of healthcare expenditures, Russia shares 112-114th place in the world with Morocco and Ecuador - only 5.3% of GDP versus 9-11% of GDP in Western Europe.

Our government spending on healthcare and education is three times less than spending on special services.

However, remember that ...

Russia wrote off the debt of Libya in 4.5 billion dollars, to Afghanistan, when the Americans came there, - 11.6 billion dollars, to Iraq, again at the request of the Americans, 12 billion dollars.

In 1994-1995, 786 tons of gold were exported from Russia to banks in England, Latin America, Australia, Romania.

Chelsea Football Club for $ 500 million, Boeing 737 private jet for $ 100 million, Blue Abyss yachts, Pelorus, Ecstasy for $ 350 million, Finning Hill estate in the South of Great Britain for 22 million dollars, the castle "De la Cro" in France for 23 million dollars ... - this is how Roma Abramovich gorges on the national wealth stolen from the people of Russia.

According to Forbes magazine, David Rockefeller Sr. has a capital of $ 2.5 billion, Lawrence Rockefeller has $ 1.5 billion, and Winthrop Rockefeller has $ 1.2 billion. For centuries, Rockefellers, profiting from bank speculation, collectively have less than one "Russian" Misha Friedman.

The American president has one country residence - at Camp David. The British Prime Minister also has one - in Checkers. The Russian president has the Rus residence in the Tver Region, the Moscow Region Gorki-9, Barvikha, Arkhangelskoye, Dinner in Valdai, Shuiskaya Chupa in Karelia, Volzhsky Cliff in the Samara Region, Sosny "In the Krasnoyarsk Territory," Angarsk Farms "near Irkutsk," Tantal "in the Saratov Region ... The dacha in Barvikha-4 alone occupies more than sixty hectares, a special allotment from the Moskva River ... Only the presidential dacha" Rus "is guarded by at least six hundred people ...

The Sochi Winter Olympics - a favorite project of Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who, like Medvedev, sees them as a chance to show the world a new Russia - will cost over $ 15 billion. For comparison: the Vancouver Olympics cost two billion dollars, the same cost the Olympics in Salt Lake City and Turin.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup will cost Russia even more.

In 2012, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit will be held in Vladivostok. The cost of preparing for the summit is an astronomical amount - 284 billion rubles.

From the appeal of the general meeting of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences to the Government Russian Federation: “While maintaining the current birth rate (9.8 per 1000 population) and mortality (16.3 per 1000 population), Russia will face an inevitable and accelerating decline in population: depending on the forecast scenarios, by 25-50% by the middle of the century ".

Speaking at the 21st Special Session of the UN General Assembly, V. I. Matvienko, then Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government, reported: “Russia is fully committed to the spirit and goals of the Cairo Conference. Following the guidelines of Cairo, the Russian Government is purposefully pursuing its policy in the field of population. State approaches to solving demographic problems have been radically adjusted. ” A terrible confession! Indeed, in Cairo, at the international conference on population under the proper title of "sustainable development", a program for reducing childbearing was adopted.

In the National Report on the State of Population, presented by Russia at the session of the UN General Assembly, among the six Russian priorities of population policy, there is not a word about increasing the birth rate. Until 2015, the Russian Government has one directive: “the reproductive behavior of Russian families will continue to focus on the birth of one child,” hence the active implementation of numerous UNESCO programs in schools, instilling the ideal of a small family, preaching the ideology of non-procreation.

“In St. Petersburg, Dr. N. B. Almazova established a Center for Family Planning and Reproductive Health. Its annual budget is about $ 1.7 million. The Center conducts contraceptive sterilization operations, ”- from the annual report of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) mission.

It can hardly be called a mere coincidence that the priority tasks of the International Family Planning Fund include "Reducing or eliminating benefits for children and families," and Russia has canceled the increase in the paid period of childcare and the inclusion of childcare time in the work experience.

According to official statistics, 70 percent of pregnancies in the country end in abortion. In reality there are much more of them, not all abortions are shown by hospitals, a wide network of private abortion clinics does not keep records at all, no one registers the use of abortion pills ...

Almost half of the budgetary funds on items related to obstetrics and gynecology, the Ministry of Health and Social Development spends on abortions.

In Russia, there is a giant network for the "extraction" of embryonic material and the production of drugs from it, the so-called fetal therapy - treatment with drugs obtained from human embryos (fetus - in Latin "fetus") - "the elixir of youth." A human embryo at the age of at least 14-25 weeks has miraculous properties - the fetus of late abortions. With the development of fetal therapy, the number of late abortions has increased dramatically. According to official figures, we have one and a half percent of abortions a year late. 90 thousand! - a whole city of children killed for money.

There are 31 million children in Russia. No more than 30 percent are healthy.

More than two million orphans are officially registered in Russia.

7,000 children are victims of sexual crimes every year.

The number of sexual crimes against minors has increased 25.6 times over the past ten years.

The first in Russia sobering-up station for drunk babies was opened in Moscow - a children's and adolescent narcological inpatient department on the basis of the narcological dispensary # 12.

Of every five adolescents admitted to the children's Filatov hospital in the capital, one child is an alcoholic, one is a drug addict, and two are a drug addict. Only one child in every five is normal.

80 foreign organizations have official licenses for the right to adopt children from Russia.

The Deputy Head of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia A.S. Savin admits that the export of our children abroad “is closely connected with the search for organs for transplantation. This situation is actively used by transnational organized crime to create a highly profitable black market for donor organs. ”

Neither after the Civil War, nor after the Patriotic War, there were so many children thrown into the street as now. 4.5 million children under 15 years of age inclusive "are not covered by any form of education," so mildly, roundly, not frighteningly state the number of homeless children in Russia in the official documents of the State Duma.

Local residents from the village of Pangody call this place - "Cross". The life of 78% of the population of Russia depends on this site of 500 by 500 meters. It happened here that this will immediately cause a catastrophe in the electric power industry of the European part of Russia (it is 80% dependent on natural gas), undermining the most important item of foreign exchange income and the death of hundreds of thousands of people from the cold, because with the shutdown of thermal power plants, heating will stop in cities.

From the coast of the Arctic Ocean to Pangoda just over 500 km.
For a modern cruise missile - 15 minutes of flight.

The Prime Minister of the country V.V. Putin is boasting of the "novelty" of the air defense missile defense system-400. But there are only two divisions. This is not enough even to cover a small country like Serbia.

It is even worse on the East. China's two-million army is opposed by a Russian group of 80,000 soldiers and officers.

The central economic region of Russia from Smolensk to Voronezh - five regions, each of which is not inferior in size to a European state - is protected by an army of 15,000 bayonets. After the reduction of the army corps here, the entire border Karelia is covered only by a brigade of border boats.

10 divisions and 16 brigades of the Russian Army were put against more than 40 divisions and 60 brigades of NATO countries, against 87 divisions of China ...

The flight time of the NATO strike air force from the Estonian border to Moscow does not exceed an hour. Over the past decade, anti-aircraft missile forces have decreased five times, and air defense aviation has been reduced by three and a half times. From the radar stations on alert and automated systems no management is younger than fifteen years old, more than half are over 25 years old. Old and aviation. 55 percent of cars are over 15 years old. The most massive Russian bomber SU-24 to date rolled off the assembly line between 1975 and 1982. Only 40 percent of the aircraft fleet is between the ages of 5 and 10, and only 20 aircraft have been manufactured in the last five years.

Of the 62 aviation regiments, only six are of constant combat readiness. The rest of the regiments do not meet the requirements of combat readiness, both in terms of the state of aviation technology and the level of training of the flight personnel.

Until 1991, NATO air squadrons had to get to Moscow 1,700 kilometers, 4,500 Soviet aircraft and more than 2,500 anti-aircraft missile systems, and even 600 aircraft of the Warsaw Pact countries, were always ready to meet them. Then both the United States and NATO understood that it was impossible to break through to Moscow. Today, the NATO road to Moscow is 600 kilometers, and, God forbid, if two hundred combat vehicles rise to meet them.

Having received air bases in Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan with the help of Russia, NATO aviation can now inflict air strikes as much on Novosibirsk, Samara, Yekaterinburg, and throughout the Siberian-Ural strategic industrial hub of Russia.

Here is a list of the loyal, sold, surrendered to the enemies of the military, competent, mighty Russian fleet. According to the experts who made this list public through the Versiya newspaper (No. 3, 2004), “many of these ships did not serve even half of the deadline and left for ridiculous money.” Prices are in thousands of US dollars. A memorial list of our fleet, our power, our strength, our pride, our national respect, our strength, money, sweat, mind.

For the "sale" of this giant armada, the treasury received less than $ 30 million. The cost of building one destroyer is exactly ten times more.

Government decree No. 405-r on the transfer of Russian military bases worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Georgia was signed by Sergei Kiriyenko. The Resolution of the State Duma No. 2364-11 "On illegal actions of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation S.V. Kiriyenko on the transfer of real estate from Russian military bases to Georgia" was ignored. A few years later, this weapon killed Russian soldiers.

The length of the radar-controlled sections of the state border in the country's airspace decreased at an altitude of 10,000 m from 99% to 59%, at an altitude of 1000 m - from 84% to 23%. The share of obsolete air defense weapons and military equipment is 65-80%. Serviceability of air defense fighters - 48-49%, air defense systems - 92%, radar weapons - about 50%. A reduction in the combat strength of anti-aircraft missile divisions should be expected by 95-98% (from 118 to 6). At the same time, the availability of serviceable anti-aircraft missile weapons of the Air Force will be about 5% (taking into account the 6 S-400 anti-aircraft missile systems).

Russia has even parted with the legendary military base in the Vietnamese Cam Ranh Bay, which has served Russian interests for over 20 years. A powerful radio interception center, an airfield with several runways, a modern pier, an electronic tracking station, a school, a hospital, residential buildings, a separate mixed aviation regiment, which includes four Tu-95 strategic bombers, four Tu-142, Tu-16 squadrons and MiG-25 ... Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov said that Russia can no longer afford Cam Ranh. So we lost a strategically important foothold for Russia, which provided our naval presence in Indian Ocean and in the Persian Gulf area.

In recent years, we have lost not only Cam Ranh. We left the naval base in Tartus (Syria), having lost support in the Mediterranean Sea, left Svenfuegos in Cuba in close proximity to the American coast, closed three electronic intelligence centers in Angola, two bases in Somalia: the air force base in Hargeisa and naval - in Berber. The most modern intelligence bases in Ethiopia, Syria, Egypt, South Yemen, Angola were liquidated. Powerful radar stations in the cities of Cabinda, Benguela and Lobitu monitored the Atlantic Ocean. Four secret radio interception bases in Nicaragua also suddenly turned out to be unnecessary for Russia.

After leaving Vietnam, the electronic espionage center in Lourdes (Cuba) remained the only listening base for the Russian special services. The capabilities of this Russian electronic center, modernized in 1997, made it possible to intercept even messages from American communication satellites, telecommunication cables, and control communications from the NASA center in Florida. Cuban Defense Minister Raul Castro stated, not without reason, that 70 percent of intelligence information is received by the Russian special services with the help of Lourdes ... And we abandoned this base.

The powerful Ramona radio intelligence complex in the Korean city of Ansan, Hwanghe province, allowed our intelligence to control US aircraft in Japan, where, as you know, 11 American military bases are located in Okinawa alone. The fact that our intelligence has eyes and ears in Ansan, the Americans did not even suspect. Now Russia does not need this base either! ..

One of the most tragic dates in the modern history of Russia, another black day of the Russian calendar - March 22, 2001, on that day at 0859 hours 24 seconds Moscow time, the Russian orbital station Mir was killed. Russian cosmonauts assessed the destruction of Mir as a betrayal of Russia. Putin, Kasyanov, Klebanov and Koptev in Star City were nicknamed "Ku Klux Klanists who lynched Mir." Everyone is convinced that the decision to build the orbital center was made under pressure from the United States. The Americans carefully tracked the descent of Mir - information from the Russian Mission Control Center was directly transmitted to NASA - they made precise telemetric "notches" of the entire descent trajectory of the station, the fall of its parts, and, of course, they figured out our super-secret control scheme for high-precision ballistic missiles ... What spies have been hunting for decades without success literally fell into their hands. None of the arguments of scientists, cosmonauts or the military convinced President Putin to stop the fateful decision for Russia.

In 1989, the catalog “Scientific and technical achievements in the system“ Energia-Buran ”was sent to 74 Union ministries, which included 600 cutting-edge technologies, the implementation of which could give an economic effect of about six billion dollars. “Democratic” Russia did not need the results of 15 years of colossal work.

According to the director of the Moscow Institute of Thermal Engineering Yuri Solomonov, the developer of the Topol-M and Bulava missile systems, “Russia has lost more than 200 technologies for the manufacture of ballistic missiles.”

Of the 240 aviation enterprises, only seven remained under state control. The state has not a single share at 94 largest aircraft factories in Russia. Most of the enterprises producing military equipment came under the control of foreigners.

The Americans took control of the leaders of the domestic engine building - the Aviadvigatel design bureau and the Perm Motors plant, which developed and mastered the production of D-30 engines for Tu-134/154, Il-62/76, Mig-31 aircraft. The latest developments are the PS-90A engine for the Il-96 and Tu-204 (214).

Krasnoyarsk, Bratsk, Novokuznetsk, Sayan aluminum plants, Achinsky. Nikolaev alumina refineries privately owned by Oleg Deripaska. Behind Deripaska's guise, foreign companies such as Dilkor International LTD, Galinton Investment LTD, Runicom Fort LTD, Paimtex Limited LTD own 65.5 percent of BrAZ shares, 55.42 percent of KrAZ shares ... So this is already the property of foreign states.

The West Siberian Metallurgical Plant, the Kovdorsk Ore Mining and Processing Plant, the Volzhsky Pipe Plant, the Nizhniy Tagil Metallurgical Plant, the Prokopyevskugol Association, the Kachkanarsky Ore Processing Plant, the Kuznetsk Metallurgical Plant, the Kuznetskurechkugol Metallurgical Plant, the Khuznetskurechkugol Combine, the Khanty-Mansiysk Metallurgical Plant.

Brunsvocek owns 25 percent of the shares of the Irkutsk Aviation Production Association (IAPO), where military equipment makes up 90 percent of the total production: the Su-27ub combat trainer, the Su-30 interceptor fighter, the Su-30mk multipurpose fighter ...

"95% of large Russian industry is in foreign jurisdiction," admitted the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Economic Policy and Entrepreneurship Yevgeny Fedorov.

Gorbachev's "perestroika" and the subsequent stage of "liberal reforms of Yeltsin-Gaidar-Chubais" destroyed the Russian economy to a much greater extent than the Great Patriotic War. During the war, the USSR lost about a third of all fixed assets. Over 20 years of liberal reforms, Russia has lost 42 percent of all fixed assets. In absolute terms, Russia's material losses from "liberal reforms" are incomparably greater than during World War II, because the initial value of the value of fixed assets in 1987 was much higher than their size in 1941! The human losses during the "reforms" are quite comparable to the losses of the 1941-45 war. Labor productivity also fell by a third, which is unprecedented not only for developed and civilized countries, but also for the most backward countries in Asia and Africa, ”- Doctor of Economics, Professor GI Khanin.

According to the UN, the industrial production of our country, even in comparison with 1991 (in 1990-1991, for the first time since 1922 in peacetime, all the main economic indicators did not grow, but fell sharply), is less than 75%, agricultural production is slightly above 80 %, including animal husbandry - 60%. The economic lag behind the leading countries of the world has increased by 2.5 times. The main production assets fell by more than 40%, labor productivity decreased by 30%.

According to the Goskomstat of the Russian Federation, in terms of coal production we slipped by 1957, in the production of cars - by 1910, in the production of metal-cutting machines - by 1931, forging and pressing machines - by 1933, trucks - by 1937, for the production of tractors - by 1931, grain harvesters - by 1933, the production of televisions - by 1958, lumber - by 1930, building bricks - by 1953, fabrics of all kinds - by 1910, woolen fabrics by 1880, footwear by 1900, whole milk products by 1963, animal oil by 1956. If in 1989 we produced 55.7 million tons of milk, now it is 32.9, which is at the level of 1958. The number of cattle decreased from 58.8 million heads in 1989 to 27.1. Twelve years ago we had 40 million pigs, now it is 15.5 (1936 level). The decline in sheep and goats is even more noticeable: from 61.3 million heads (1989) to 15.2.

130 agricultural engineering enterprises were destroyed in the country.

Russia imports food for $ 35 billion.

At present, almost 70% of food products are produced according to TU, and not according to GOSTs, which makes it possible to produce low-quality food.

More than 40% of the products sold in Moscow are counterfeit. Most often, counterfeits of vegetable and butter, condensed milk, tea, coffee, mineral water, stewed beef, honey and confectionery are detected. The leaders of the "black list" were: cottage cheese, 42.5% of which does not meet the standards, curd cheeses (45.5%), curd mass (42.1%), loose sour cream (33.3%), shawarma (40%) , salads (20%) and cakes (18.8%).

Unprecedented, unthinkable in world practice is happening in Russia: natural rent goes to the owners and managers of mining companies. They appropriate up to 85 percent of the profits, although in the main oil-producing countries the state's share in oil revenues is at least 60 percent, and even up to 90 percent.

The timing of the depletion of profitable reserves for individual minerals does not go beyond 2013-2025, says the report of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation following the results of an audit of the effectiveness of reproduction of the mineral resource base of the Russian Federation. At today's rates of production, the exploited reserves of oil, uranium, copper, gold will run out in 2015, and gas in 20-25 years.

Availability of resources (in% of world reserves): USA - 6%, Russia - 25%, European Community - 10%, others - 59%. Resource consumption (% of world reserves): USA - 40%, Russia - 5%, European Community - 40%, others - 15%.

Russian civil aviation has cut the volume of air traffic by more than three times and the production of civil aircraft tenfold. In the period from 2003 to 2005, Russia annually produced from 11 to 18 civil aircraft of all types. Meanwhile, the American company Boeing and the European Airbus each produce 350-400 aircraft annually.

In 1991, the country produced 1,500 aircraft, in 2010 - 14.

"In 1980, our country is the second economy in the world, it is five Chinas and 60 percent of the United States, now it is 1/5 of China, six percent of the United States," said G. G. G., Deputy Director of the Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Malinetskiy.

Russia's GDP is not much higher than the economic product of the American District of Los Angeles.

In 11 of the 15 former republics of the Soviet Union, economic growth is higher than in Russia.

Exports of raw materials in 2000 accounted for 44% of the country's total exports, in 2010 - already 65%. But the share of machinery and equipment dropped from 11% to 5%.

Previously, 97% of the population used air transport, now only 3%.

The volume of postal items decreased 20 times.

More than 30,000 settlements in Russia still do not have a telephone connection.

In the 90s, an average of 6.1 thousand kilometers of new roads were commissioned in the country per year, since 2003 - no more than 2-3 thousand kilometers. Two-thirds of federal highways and 76% of territorial ones do not meet the standards. 92% of federal highways have only two lanes.

Average cost of 1 sq. m of housing in Russia in recent years has grown 9 times. If in 2000 the purchase of an apartment on the secondary market with an area of \u200b\u200b50 sq. m was equal to the average annual income for 6 years, then in 2008 - for 15 years.

A kilogram of gold in Moscow can only buy four square meters of housing.

According to Rosstat, the area of \u200b\u200bemergency housing in the country has tripled: from 29.8 million sq. m in 1992 to 99.5 million square meters. m in 2008.

The annual number of new settlers decreased almost 9 times: from 948 thousand in 1992 to 144 thousand in 2008.

The cost per square meter in elite apartments in Moscow has exceeded $ 109,000. The cost of the most expensive apartment put up for open sale exceeds $ 22 million (Kakha Bendukidze bought the giant Uralmash from the state for $ 700,000, another giant, Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, left state ownership for $ 31 million).

The prices for natural gas supplied by Gazprom to Russian consumers rose from an average of 358 rubles per 1,000 cubic meters in 2001 to over 2,500 rubles in 2010.

The cost of gasoline-95 in oil-producing countries in 2010: Venezuela - 47 kopecks per 1 liter; Turkmenistan - 68 kopecks per 1 liter;

Iran - 2 rubles. 39 kopecks per 1 liter; Libya - 4 rubles 17 kopecks per 1 liter; United Arab Emirates - 12 rubles. 27 kopecks per 1 liter; Azerbaijan - 14 rubles. 37 kopecks. for 1 liter; Kazakhstan - 17 rubles. 97 kopecks for 1 liter; Russia - 26 rubles. for 1 liter.

According to the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation, which conducted a study of income distribution among the country's population in 2010:

- 13.4% of the population live in extreme poverty with an income below 3422 rubles a month;

- 27.8% of the population live in poverty with an income of 3422 rubles to 7400 rubles a month;

- 38.8% of the population live in poverty with an income of 7400 rubles to 17000 rubles a month;

- “rich among the poor” are 10.9% of the population with an income of 17,000 rubles to 25,000 rubles a month;

- 7.3% of the population live at the level of average income with an income of 25,000 rubles to 50,000 rubles a month;

- the wealthy are citizens with an income of 50,000 rubles to 75,000 rubles per month. Their number is 1.1% of the population of Russia.

- the so-called rich make up 0.7% of the population. Their income is estimated at over 75,000 rubles a month.

The above data show that the extremely poor, the poor and the poor make up exactly 80% of the population of modern Russia. That's 113 million people.

The fortune of 100 Russian billionaires is $ 520 billion, which is equal to all the gold and foreign exchange reserves of the country's Central Bank.

“Part of the population, undoubtedly, are outsiders, and some are not just leaders, but leaders against the background of extremely rich countries,” said the head of Rosstat, Alexander Surinov. “The incomes of the poorest and richest people in our country differ 800 times!”

During the "crisis year 2009" alone, the number of billionaires in Russia has doubled.

In 2010, the number of Russian billionaires increased even more: from 62 to 101. The cost of an “admission ticket” to the top ten was $ 13 billion. The total wealth of those in the top 100 has increased from $ 297 billion to $ 432 billion. The richest remains the head of OJSC Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant, Vladimir Lisin, whose fortune is estimated at $ 24 billion. In second place is Alexey Mordashov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Severstal ($ 18.5 billion). Then comes the president of the ONEXIM group, Mikhail Prokhorov ($ 18 billion). The top ten are Vladimir Potanin ($ 17.8 billion), Alisher Usmanov ($ 17.7 billion) and Oleg Deripaska ($ 16.8 billion).

Russian billionaires pay the lowest taxes in the world (13%), which their colleagues in France and Sweden (57%), Denmark (61%), Italy (66%) never dreamed of.

1.5% of the population of Russia owns 50% of the national wealth.

60% of the population have no savings at all.

“Our state is the apparatus of the rich to protect their wealth. What was given to Russia from God and is not the fruit of human hands ended up in the hands of 15% of people who misappropriated what, by definition, belongs to them
