"Страна отходов" – An Urgent Investigation into Russia's Garbage Crisis
We all know the grim images: birds with stomachs full of plastic, turtles trapped in bags. But journalist Andrey Yakovlev goes beyond these distant scenes to expose the crisis unfolding right now in Russia. In this hard-hitting report, he reveals how garbage is creeping to the very edges of cities, its stench burning throats, while microplastics poison water and toxic dioxins contaminate food. Russia is suffocating under waste, and public anger is rising.
Yakovlev embeds himself in the system—visiting landfills and sorting stations, interviewing ecologists, officials, and entrepreneurs. He asks the essential questions: What really happens after you toss something in the bin? What are the true dangers of smoke and ash from incineration plants? Why does the state fight activists—and why is recycling not in its interest? "Страна отходов" combines investigative journalism with a personal journey, forcing us to confront how we will live with our garbage. Essential reading for anyone concerned about the environment and Russia’s future.
