Consequences of a dam break in the Krasnoyarsk Territory
The program Live by Russian journalist Andrei Malakhov, dedicated to the flooding of a technological dam from a gold mining artel in the village of Shchetinkino, Krasnoyarsk Territory, was taken off the air in the European part of the country. According to Russian media on Wednesday, October 23, the program took place in the time zones of the Far East and Siberia, but residents of the Urals and other more western regions of the country were unable to watch it. Representatives of the Russia 1 TV channel told the BBC that the program was originally planned to be shown only in Siberia and the Far East.
As follows from fragments of the video of the program Live distributed on social networks, it was discussed on the air that the real death toll in the Shchetinkino incident could be more than what was called by officials, and that samples from the Seiba River showed an excess of mercury, which could indicate a prohibited method of gold mining. On October 20, a number of senior officials of Sisim LLC, the owner of a gold mining artel in Shchetinkino, were detained.
