border crossing at sulfenhe, in the asurian region. the checkpoint's capacity is about 55 vehicles one way, that is, the same amount is returned as for imports, that is , almost the entire range of items, equipment, and consumer goods are moved. vegetables, fruits and various building materials, today exports mainly include food products, veneer and cedar wood. once upon a time there were lines of trucks and buses carrying thousands of tourists. today there are several dozen trucks that go abroad in the morning , where the body is unhooked, the cargo is checked, and the tractor is sent off.

and such a case happened quite recently, the border guards received operational information that the driver of one of the trucks, a resident of primorye, georgy meshcheninov, was trying to illegally take a large shipment abroad ginseng roots. he

had a hiding place in the dashboard of a truck man, here is a german man, so if additional partitions are also made in the tool box, which means that during a superficial visual inspection they are of course not visible, but an experienced border guard , of course, he sees that the internal volume different from... excess volume. here are operational shots taken during the inspection of georgy meshchaninov’s car. does he have anything else? you don't want to be nice, right? do not want? i don't know, i said it. total in 137 ginseng roots weighing 2 kg were found in the toilets of georgy mishcheninov’s car.

the fact is that the cost of ginseng root on the black market can reach several million rubles for one root, it all depends on its size and preservation, and the cost of those 2 kg of roots that the tradesmen brought is also very high, about 50 million rubles. an investigation is underway against georgy meshchaninov and it is possible that a criminal case will be initiated. nowadays, in order to transport illegal goods abroad, smugglers need to work very hard. to date it is impossible without some kind of control to clear the wire across the state border, prohibited as well as restricted goods and cargo. if the employees of the state security service or customs even have one. “here

it is, the customs officers affectionately call it the machine, our film crew is allowed to climb inside, there is a hidden cavity at the beginning of the vehicle, there may be an additional wall made, and a false wall behind which there is contraband, well , nothing can escape your watchful eye here, yes yes, of course, and a few words about wood, and about skins, about the paws of tigers, the paws of bears, about ginseng root." yes, yes, such situations happened, there were deer and antlers, it turns out, bear paws, all this was found, but if you can illuminate a truck quite quickly, then with a railway train things are much more more difficult, we go to sosnovaya

patch station, free access here is prohibited, only border control officers and customs officers can be here. the train is visible long before it reaches the station. here it is, slowly sneaking along the hills, slowly drives up to the post and freezes. the inspection team gets involved. at the moment , usuri customs officials, together with border service officers, are conducting a joint inspection. inspection. rolling stock, well, where do they usually hide , usually hide in the support beams, what do they usually hide, what are they trying to hide? there have been cases of far eastern tripang being transported, one of the shipments of tripang was detained several days

before the arrival of our film crew, this is how it was, this is how the cache was equipped, the locomotive trains, cars, we have two bags in the trunk. with packages, the border is locked, there are plenty of violators of all kinds, the chief customs officer of the entire far east tells us about this. more than 12 thousand cases of administrative offenses were initiated last year, as i called the figure , 225 criminal cases, this is all a violation, and of course, you know, sometimes you even look with bitterness at... these numbers, that no matter how we do not warn, how we do not carry out explanatory work, but there are individual citizens, there are individual companies, who strive to do something, contrary to the law, for their own benefit.

we are going to the capital of primorye, vladivostok, where specialists from the forensic service of the far eastern customs administration are waiting for us directly to the laboratory. we find ourselves at an impromptu exhibition of wood and unusual red book plants confiscated from smugglers. there are some oddities here.

in the asian market, if our purchasing price was about 40,000 rubles per kilogram, then the selling price there is about 120,000 rubles. as for these funny, but at the same time very beautiful animals, the inhabitants of the european part of russia are called kuku maria, this is a relative of tripanga, but what is it called correctly? galaturia or cucumaria, well, the moscow cucumber can also be called, it is... marine hyperbion, the family of echinoderms belongs to the commercial, it is widely mined from the seabed, used for the manufacture of various culinary products, there are salads, with kelp, for example, or cucumaria in oil, they also tried to move these frogs

across the border, a large batch, it was a very large batch, there were about 12 large ones boxes, listen, they look somehow strange , frogs, so long, why? this is due to the method of their manufacture, the fact is that a living frog must be hung with a twig or a nail by its muzzle, so that in the throes of death it will stretch out into such a string. i see your mushrooms are funny, but they are presented here, that is, it is also forbidden to transport such mushrooms across the border, this is the food body of the varnished turtovik, which in asian countries is known as the reishi health flu, it is widely used primarily in hermetological medicine for the elderly, here's something else scary in the blue bag. rather specific, these

are the sinews of deer, the sinews of wapiti, maybe morale, the achilles tendon from the leg in asian countries and, by the way, it is part of small nationalities on the territory of the federation, how many deer are killed here, here, if you count from each leg, then probably at least ten pieces, and that’s the main exhibit, this is a traditional alcoholic drink. which representatives of the eastern country drink only the biggest holidays. in appearance it is sunflower oil with additives. this is a national tincture or national asian wine for health, in which snakes, ginseng roots are used, just the red book ginseng root, here it is, yes, yes, yes, this is where the rhizome of ginseng is presented, which is very popular in asian countries as a remedy for longevity. and here , too, there is also a snake, yes, there are as many as three snakes, there is such a specific fruiting body

of a mushroom, asians have learned to grow it in very unusual forms, all this goes like ingredients for making wine for health, here is another illegal product that, along with tripang, is especially popular among local smugglers, these are saiga horns, in the coastal region they are most often... brought from kalmykia, dagestan and altai. in east and southeast asia, they are used to make tinctures that supposedly help with hundreds of different diseases. smugglers transporting such goods were dubbed cuckolds by local law enforcement officers. one of these was a fifty-year-old rogue from a neighboring state, wang li dong. he's a lot traveled around russia, visited different regions of our country, moscow and even

grozny. van ledun was detained in usuriysk, where he tried to bribe border guards to help smuggle the horns abroad. wang ledong, arriving in the border area, of course, aroused suspicion, and he himself did not have to look for anyone. to check him, the border guard himself approached him to make sure who it was?

but he admits that he gave money to the border guards, i gave him money, how much? 160, 16000, yes, yes, yes, and then what?

there is information that they really expect the border to open, but despite this , active work is being carried out, mainly by operational units, and today, even during a period of calm, when there is no real trade, sales, criminals, miners, caches are being identified, and there are even attempts resale among themselves for the purpose of smuggling abroad, and this... quiet words, in february 2022, in the dalnerechensky district of primorsky krai, police detained three hunters who killed a tiger being transported in the taiga i extinguish the buyers. tigor has already been obtained, we documented the crime this year, in february,

information was received in a timely manner that they wanted to sell it. and this fact is documented. those detained face up to 5 years in prison and a large fine. i feel incredibly sorry, of course, for these animals, because they simply become hostages of human greed, human cruelty, human greed. there are law enforcement agencies that must clearly define the legal assessment what's happening. in addition, there must be control services. if we are truly concerned about these particular animals, not just in words, but if we are concerned about an endangered species, then we need to take the right measures, how much is a tiger worth? the tiger is one of the few animals

that cannot be legally purchased anywhere in the world and not only in russia, it is believed that if the tiger is sprayed into medicines, well, relatively speaking, into tablets, into powders, into racks, then you can of course earn significant money. far eastern employees the customs department continues to catch cuckolds, blocking. one after another smuggling channels. unfortunately, in our film we do not have the right to reveal all aspects of their work, but we can confidently say that killers of wild animals who dream of lining their pockets with dirty money will definitely not escape responsibility.

money decides a lot for them, money decides a lot, unfortunately. this means that they probably haven’t found themselves in this world, yes, they haven’t found another occupation for themselves that would satisfy them, or they think that this is the method of life this method of earning money and this way of life is the most acceptable for them, but they must remember that customs, border guards, and internal affairs bodies are always on the alert, and besides, if you believe our domestic medicine, these homemade drugs are unlikely to cure at least ... i would not relate to this part, there is acupuncture, some manual methods of influence and so on, this is all

quite effective and even finds its application in traditional medicine, but this is what we are talking about in obtaining some that elixirs, tinctures, powders from killed parts of animals, in my opinion it is unlikely that this... will help, most likely, this is really not a tradition. in the meantime , sergei aramilev continues to do his favorite thing, which is very important for the country. he studies amur tigers and cares about preserving their population. now there are about 600 of them, but by 600 tigers, yes, i think that the latest census that we conducted this winter will show a large number that. cats are laid down, those are the efforts that are made, they show its effectiveness, all this is thanks to your center, all this is thanks to the russian state, this is the government

of the russian federation, the metros of russia, the system of national park reserves, the security forces that acted with one fist in the fight against poaching, go, go, don’t look back as you do you call tigers affectionately? well, it’s hard to call it a gentle, affectionate animal - it’s an animal that commands respect, for example, a tiger physiologically cannot tuck its tail, and accordingly, here’s a bear, despite the fact that he is single it’s not big enough, he can tighten it up out of fear, and an animal with a tight grip...

this is how we saw the situation with the smuggling of derivatives, it was. our investigation from the primorsky region, the conclusions of the case are only for you, see you on the russia 24 tv channel

. and let's start with the news from the donetsk republic: 13 people were killed, at least 10 were wounded in the shelling. the ukrainian armed forces of the city of donetsk, as reported by the head of the dpr denis pushilin, the ukrainian military hit the market in the kirov region. on sunday, when it was especially crowded. one of the hits was in a hardware store right when employees were serving customers. emergency services are currently on the scene. the russian military liberated the village of krakhmalnoye in the kupinsky direction. this was reported to the russian ministry of defense. this.
