How environmental “pests” “mine” the Kerch bridge

Friends recently drew my attention to the funny Top 5 friends of Ukraine from Russia, published Kyiv Gazeta.ua. Naturally, there are Makarevich and Akhedzhakova. Where would we be without them? There is a lawyer for pilot Savchenko. It’s also clear why.

There was also a place for Valeria Novodvorskaya’s best friend, Konstantin Borovoy. I personally have no objections at all to his candidacy. I remember how in the early spring of 2015 the two of us were invited to discuss Ukraine on the radio “Moscow Speaks”.

So Borovoy assured me in the guest room before the discussion that the Ukrainians would land troops in Crimea in the summer and recapture Crimea from Russia. They say that the Americans will train them in landing during the spring. Konstantin Natanych rejoiced at this quick “liberation” of the peninsula like a child. In general, his place in the Top is legitimate, no doubt.

However, I was interested in two characters and an organization that I had never heard of before. We are talking about some kind of “Ecological Watch of the North Caucasus” and its frontmen - Andrei Rudomakh and Yulia Naberezhnaya.

Although they have the last, but still an honorable fifth place in the Top. What did they do to deserve it? I quote the original source.

“Every Ukrainian patriot should recognize these names, since today they are at the forefront of the fight for Ukrainian Crimea. On October 14, the public organization “Environmental Watch of the North Caucasus,” headed by Rudomakha and Naberezhnaya, published a report on the construction of a bridge across the Kerch Strait. The main conclusion: “the construction caused irreparable environmental damage to the natural monument “Cape Tuzla”, and the unique natural complex of Tuzla Island was turned into a huge parking lot and a warehouse for inert materials.”

Back in 2014, Rudomakha and Embankment openly opposed the occupation of Crimea. It is beneficial for Ukraine to maintain a blockade of the peninsula, and the construction of the bridge must be blocked by any means. Only constant pressure will lead to the collapse of the occupation economy, and only in this way will we return the occupied territory. “Ecological watch” is known and supported throughout the world. It would be difficult to find a more influential international lobby than green organizations such as Greenpeace. Ukraine is obliged to use these weapons in the fight for Crimea.”

Everything here, I think, is clear. Ecology, which means that Crimea is of interest to comrades, so that no harm is done to it.

I specifically searched the Internet using the keywords “Rudomakha” and “Donbass”. I just wanted to get acquainted with any information on the topic of whether Rudomakha and his “Ecological Watch” are interested in the environmental situation in the Donbass. The Donetsk region is located at approximately the same distance from the North Caucasus as the Crimea.
But, alas, I found nothing.

It’s somehow strange, but a comrade is interested in how the construction of the Kerch bridge destroys the flora and fauna of Tuzla, but in the fact that Ukrainian tanks, Grads, attack aircraft, and most importantly, the Armed Forces of Ukraine during this year destroyed the flora and fauna of Donbass, not very much. But the border between the DPR and the Krasnodar Territory runs along the Sea of ​​Azov.

I understand that, apparently, protesting against the destruction of people is not what Rudomakha’s comrades and their “Ecological Watch” specialize in, but it’s somehow strange that they did not conduct an inspection of Donbass for the destruction of gophers and hamsters there.

I think you understand why. Ukrainians are their own for Rudomakha and his girlfriend Embankment. They bring the Vatniks and Colorados to their senses and instill in them European values ​​with the help of mortar attacks, so everything is normal there with the environment.

Therefore, all attention is switched to the construction of the Kerch Bridge, which will make life acceptable for the main fauna of Russia - humans, both in Crimea itself and living in other territories of Russia. No blockade of Crimea will be scary for this “fauna” anymore.

I think everyone understands the need and importance of the Kerch Bridge, so there is no need to dwell on it for a long time.

I’m just wondering what kind of environmentalists these are, and why they are suddenly concerned about the problems of Tuzla. I had to do a little digging on the Internet. And I realized that this is not a matter of ecology.

It turns out that Rudomakha is a prominent figure in the opposition liberal-pro-Western party “Yabloko” in the Krasnodar region. Her leader. What position does Yabloko take on Crimea, do you need to explain? I don't think it's necessary.

Further. Back in 2012 in Russian media there was information about Rudomakha’s connections with the American embassy.

The meeting of American diplomats with Rudomakha took place on the eve of the elections to the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnodar Territory (ZSK).

I quote the message of the TV channel “Russia. Kuban" about this meeting:

“The opposition party Yabloko was the only one on the program of visits to American guests. The hosts of the meeting themselves regard the visit of US Embassy officials as a gesture of attention from foreign observers for the upcoming elections in the KYC.”

Therefore, I personally suspect “Environmental Watch” that Rudomakha’s friends from the American Embassy suggested it to investigate the environmental consequences of the construction of the Kerch Bridge. Perhaps they gave money for these “ecological” studies.

In short, we all need to understand that what this North Caucasus environmental organization is doing is called selective ecology. The border between such ecology and politics, you will agree, is conditional.

Such activities of the “Environmental Watch” are needed in order, on the basis of such examinations, to draw the necessary conclusion for the geopolitical enemies of Russia - America and Ukraine: the construction of the Kerch Bridge is harmful. Therefore, construction must be stopped.

There is only one consolation here: in Russia there is still life, and human health is more important than jellyfish and algae, so there will be a Kerch Bridge.
